Oh no, stop, this thread drifts off to a wrong direction. Probably I wasn't clear enough. So forget everything I told you, forget any malfunction of drives.
New try: I have 2 sources of information: 1. HSEND Q ACT (TCBADDRESS) which gives me the active HSM tasks with request no. and tcb address 2. any monitor (e.g. MXI TAPE), showing the SUN/STK robot drives used by HSM and the mounted volsers If there is an active request using tapes (e.g. recycle, recall from ML2) I'd like to know what volsers are involved. Is there any HSM command telling me for example: - recall currently uses volser 111111 - recycle currently uses volsers 222222, 333333, 444444 Werner Kuehnel IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU> schrieb am 02.09.2008 12:56:31: > Werner, > > It would help to know your issue. > > Are you an HSMPLEX, a SYSPLEX a MONOPLEX? > What is your OS? z/OS V1.7???
