Re: Need DFHSM/SMS expert
Tobias I am familiar with the LIST TTOC but what would be the normal amount of REUSE Capacity listed for a 800mb Media2 virtual tape if you have it set at 97%. What number shows up in the column under REUSE CAPACITY?

Need DFHSM/SMS expert
All of my DFHSM datasets to tapes (migration,backup etc) are all being directed into an SMS defined tape library via SMS dataset filtering and the dataclas designation is MEDIA2(800mb) virtual tapes. I have an esoteric name defined in HSM parmlib member on USERUNITTABLE (TAPE) And all references to UNITTYPE and UNITNAME in my HSM parmlib member use the name TAPE In the system HCD/IOGen - the esoteric name TAPE are assigned to PHYSICAL 3490 tape drives(this was old and how it was being used in the beginning) According to my reading of the HSM manuals the SMS Tape Library filtering overrides all the HSM parmlib UNIT name designations and uses what the SMS dataclas specifies. When I do an HSM QUERY SETSYS my TAPEUTILIZATIONS all specify 97% except the one for TAPE which I set to 107% in the HSM parmlib with SETSYS command. The ouput from an HSM QUERY SETSYS shows the values below ARC0418I TAPEUTILIZATION PERCENT=0097, LIBRARYMIGRATION ARC0418I TAPEUTILIZATION PERCENT=0097, LIBRARYBACKUP ARC0418I TAPEUTILIZATION PERCENT=0097, UNIT=3480 CAPACITYMODE=**NONE** ARC0418I TAPEUTILIZATION PERCENT=0097, UNIT=3480X CAPACITYMODE=**NONE** ARC0418I TAPEUTILIZATION PERCENT=0097, UNIT=3490 CAPACITYMODE=**NONE** ARC0418I TAPEUTILIZATION PERCENT=0097, UNIT=3590-1 CAPACITYMODE=**NONE** ARC0418I TAPEUTILIZATION PERCENT=0107, UNIT=TAPE CAPACITYMODE=**NONE** I have a feeling that I am not really using the esoteric TAPE at 107% but probably the UNIT=3490 value of 97%. I also have specified on my TAPECOPY command ALTERNATEUNITNAME(3490). Would someone be able to confirm this for me i.e. that the esoteric name is being ignored and I am in fact getting or using UNIT=3490 for all my tape creations.

DFHSM Tapeutilization value question
We have all of our HSM tapes going into a TS7700 VTS when I set it up for HSM in the PARMLIB member I specified a percent value of 107 for UNIT=TAPE I really want to keep the value consistent across all of our LPARS and just use 97. My question is - When I list off any HSM tape info using HSM commands it always shows a tape unit value of 3490 not TAPE. Is there a way to verify if any of my HSM tapes are actually using the 107% value. I would like to change it change it back to 97% but I am not sure of the ramifications and/or I am really currently using the 107% value. My HSM PARMLIB value for - SETSYS - USERUNITTABLE(TAPE) My SMS definition for filtering is specified as follows - FILTLIST TAPE_UNIT INCLUDE(3490*,3590*,TAPE*,'AFF=') The ouput from an HSM QUERY SETSYS shows the values below ARC0418I TAPEUTILIZATION PERCENT=0097, LIBRARYMIGRATION ARC0418I TAPEUTILIZATION PERCENT=0097, LIBRARYBACKUP ARC0418I TAPEUTILIZATION PERCENT=0097, UNIT=3480 CAPACITYMODE=**NONE** ARC0418I TAPEUTILIZATION PERCENT=0097, UNIT=3480X CAPACITYMODE=**NONE** ARC0418I TAPEUTILIZATION PERCENT=0097, UNIT=3490 CAPACITYMODE=**NONE** ARC0418I TAPEUTILIZATION PERCENT=0097, UNIT=3590-1 CAPACITYMODE=**NONE** ARC0418I TAPEUTILIZATION PERCENT=0107, UNIT=TAPE CAPACITYMODE=**NONE** When I use HSM LIST commands UNIT names show up as 3490 not TAPE - VOLSERUNITVOL REUSE VALID PCTVOLRACF PREV SUCC NAMETYPE CAPACITYBLKSVALID STATUS VOL VOL 0611413490D(01) 00026300 7373 028FULLYES *NONE* *NONE* 0623393490D(01) 00026300 7601 029FULLYES *NONE* *NONE* 0630773490D(01) 00026300 5606 022FULLYES *NONE* *NONE* 0698643490D(01) 00026300 00015404 059FULLYES *NONE* *NONE* -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
How to define stand-alone 3590 tape drives in SMS?
Would anyone be able to tell me the specifics of how to define the necessary SMS constructs SG,SC,DC to define and use one or two stand alone 3590 tape drives in SMS. The 3590 needs to get allocated preferably for a scratch request based on ACS datasetname filtering?

DFHSM Native 3590 tapes to virtual 3490E's
We will be migrating DFHSM 3590 native tapes from a 3494ATL/B18 Vts environment to a new IBM TS7700. The 3590's will be recycled via HSM onto virtual 3490E media type 2 volumes(4000MB) in the new VTS. My question is - Is this feasible to take 3590(10GB uncomressed tapes) compressed data tapes and move the data onto the smaller 3490E's? If my calculations are correct we will need 4 or 5 virtual volumes for each physical 3590 which means our TMC volume count will rise dramatically but I am more concerned about the impact to HSM and the CDS's because we will probably have more connected volume groups.
