Hi, As this post indicates, SMS and nonSMS volumes can be stacked onto the same tape. I just had one of my developers verify it. Please note that stacking is very touchy. In order to stack volumes onto the same tape, all factors must be identical (except SMSness). Make sure that the Dump Classes are identical (names and number) and that the SMS vols don't have a system affinity.
Here's the output from our test: ARC0300I **OPER** ISSUED===>LIST DVOL(SB0012) TERM DUMPVOL=SB0012 STATUS=UNEXP UNIT=3490 CLASS=DCLASS1 EXPDATE=2013/11 /14 LIB=ATLHYDF IDRC=Y PCT FULL=08 COPY POOL=N FILESEQ=001 SRCVOL=SMS001 SMS=Y DATE=2013/10/15 TIME=01:00:00 HWCOMP=NO ENCRYPT=NONE ENCRYPT_TYPE= ********* ENC_KEY=************ **************************************************** DUMP COPY DATA SET NAME = DFHSM.DMP.DCLASS1.VSMS001.D13288.T000001 FILESEQ=002 SRCVOL=SMS002 SMS=Y DATE=2013/10/15 TIME=01:00:02 HWCOMP=NO ENCRYPT=NONE ENCRYPT_TYPE= ********* ENC_KEY=************ **************************************************** DUMP COPY DATA SET NAME = DFHSM.DMP.DCLASS1.VSMS002.D13288.T020001 FILESEQ=003 SRCVOL=SMS003 SMS=Y DATE=2013/10/15 TIME=01:00:03 HWCOMP=NO ENCRYPT=NONE ENCRYPT_TYPE= ********* ENC_KEY=************ **************************************************** DUMP COPY DATA SET NAME = DFHSM.DMP.DCLASS1.VSMS003.D13288.T030001 FILESEQ=004 SRCVOL=PRIM01 SMS=N DATE=2013/10/15 TIME=01:00:05 HWCOMP=NO ENCRYPT=NONE ENCRYPT_TYPE= ********* ENC_KEY=************ **************************************************** DUMP COPY DATA SET NAME = DFHSM.DMP.DCLASS1.VPRIM01.D13288.T050001 FILESEQ=005 SRCVOL=PRIM02 SMS=N DATE=2013/10/15 TIME=01:00:05 HWCOMP=NO ENCRYPT=NONE ENCRYPT_TYPE= ********* ENC_KEY=************ **************************************************** DUMP COPY DATA SET NAME = DFHSM.DMP.DCLASS1.VPRIM02.D13288.T050001 FILESEQ=006 SRCVOL=PRIM03 SMS=N DATE=2013/10/15 TIME=01:00:06 HWCOMP=NO ENCRYPT=NONE ENCRYPT_TYPE= ********* ENC_KEY=************ **************************************************** DUMP COPY DATA SET NAME = DFHSM.DMP.DCLASS1.VPRIM03.D13288.T060001 ARC0140I LIST COMPLETED, 19 LINE(S) OF DATA 252 ARC0140I (CONT.)
