Wayne, You should not need to retrieve the volumes, re-insert them, and do it all again under VRS control. RMM should be smart enough to make sense of what it finds in the library and what the VRS policy decides.
I suggest you 1. Add the rule that will cause rmm to identify what should be in the offsite location. 2. Get a list of the off-site volumes, and for each one issue rmm tso command: RMM CV volser LOCATION(offsite) CMOVE I would expect that rmm command processing will find the volume not in the library and allow the location change without an error msg. 3. run EDGHSKP VRSEL processing. As a result, as documented in the rmm I&C Guide the 'required location' will be updated to show what VRS decides. 4. You can check the VRSEL decision against actual location using SEARCHVOLUME.... for example: RMM SV VOLUME(*) LOCATION(LIBATL1) REQUIRED(offsite) RMM SV VOLUME(*) LOCATION(offsite) REQUIRED(LIBATL1) 5. Run EDGHSKP DSTORE which initiates the movement by setting LOCATION from REQUIRED location. 6. Eject the volumes from the library and move them/return volumes from offsite if needed. 7. Confirm the moves to offsite to rmm / enter returning volumes into the library Normally you can run EDGHSKP options all in the same run, not step by step.
