I think HSM will skip the volumes if they have ever failed a recycle in the past? So you have to manually recycle them one at a time (from what I remember).

I tried opening a PMR and the first thing I get back is, "z/OS 1.13 is an unsupported release, and you don't have an extended contract"..... Anyway, thought I would send this to see if anyone else has seen this issue. When I list the backupvolumes, I have a list that looks like this: - DFSMSHSM CONTROL DATASET - BACKUP VOLUME-- LISTING ----- AT 07:37:16 ON 17/07/12 FOR SYSTEM=MVSD VOLSER DEVICE BACKUP VOL TOTAL FREE THRESH LAST BACKUP PSWD EXP RACF EMPTY IDRC DUPLEX PCT TYPE TYPE FULL TRACKS TRACKS DATE ALT FULL S00012 3590-1 DAILY NO ******** ******** *** 17/07/10 NO YES NO NO Y *NONE* 34.6 S00015 3590-1 DAILY NO ******** ******** *** 08/05/27 NO YES NO NO Y *NONE* 20.0 S00043 3590-1 DAILY NO ******** ******** *** 08/05/29 NO YES NO NO Y *NONE* 25.0 S00071 3590-1 DAILY YES ******** ******** *** 17/05/09 NO YES NO NO Y *NONE* 96.6 S00094 3590-1 DAILY NO ******** ******** *** 08/05/31 NO YES NO NO Y *NONE* 28.3 S00117 3590-1 DAILY YES ******** ******** *** 15/07/05 NO YES NO NO Y *NONE* 54.3 S00133 3590-1 DAILY NO ******** ******** *** 17/01/10 NO YES NO NO Y *NONE* 57.5 S00146 3590-1 DAILY YES ******** ******** *** 08/04/27 NO YES NO NO Y *NONE* 96.7 S00156 3590-1 DAILY NO ******** ******** *** 08/05/31 NO YES NO NO Y *NONE* 31.2 S00169 3590-1 DAILY NO ******** ******** *** 10/09/15 NO YES NO NO Y *NONE* 54.8 S00170 3590-1 DAILY YES ******** ******** *** 17/04/21 NO YES NO NO Y *NONE* 96.6 So, if you notice the second and third tapes on the list S00015 and S00043, you will see the last backup date in 2008. You will see that they are 20.0 and 25.0 PCT full. So, I tried a RECYCLE DISPLAY specifying a percentage of 40%. I get the following: RECYCLE BACKUP DISPLAY PERCENTVALID(40) ARC0830I RECYCLE COMMAND PROCESSING STARTING ELIGIBLE VOLUMES: 040% LEGEND: '*' INDICATES EMPTY TAPE S00071 S00170 S00191 S00255 S00480 S00487 S00597 S00602 S00632 S00697 S00739 S00795 S00969 S00991 S01461 S01464 END OF DISPLAY OF VOLUMES ELIGIBLE FOR RECYCLE ARC0831I RECYCLE COMMAND PROCESSING ENDING So neither of these volumes show up on the recycle listing. So, I took the S00015 and did a manual recycle and it worked just fine. Anyone have any thoughts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN This email transmission and any accompanying attachments may contain CSX privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the intended addressee.
