Re: HSM dumping nonSMS volumes on different tape
both SMS and non-SMS volumes on the same [dump] tape. I took this issue to IBM and it appears that if the StorGroup has multiple DUMPCLASSes then HSM will not combine SMS and nonSMS volumes on the same tape. If there is a single DUMPCLASS, then HSM will combine SMS and nonSMS volumes on the same tape. Go figure.

Re: HSM dumping nonSMS volumes on different tape
Yes, I quite definately have both SMS and non-SMS volumes on the same tape. What level of HSM are you running, at what PUT level? Scott, First, thanks for the response, glad to know that there's light at the end of the tunnel. I'm running the 1.9 HSM but my maintenance is around RSU0906 on the sandbox (where I did my test), older on the PROD LPAR. I looked on ServLnk but didn't see anything obvious-probably yet another case of not knowing how to ask the question. I think that I'll go try IBM and see what happens. Since you have combined SMS and nonSMS you wouldn't have noticed my other dilemma, ie with two dump tasks the nonSMS dump will not start until the SMS volumes are dumped even if there is an idle dump task.

Re: HSM dumping nonSMS volumes on different tape
Yes, I quite definately have both SMS and non-SMS volumes on the same tape. What level of HSM are you running, at what PUT level? I opened a whole mess of APARs about a year ago, because I found a bunch of bugs in the copypool dump process, but if you are at least at 0909 or so you should have all that stuff on. >>> John Kelly 1/14/2010 4:20 PM >>> The HSM Guide states: Volumes associated with copy pools are not stacked with non-copy pool volumes. Outside of copy pool associated volumes, dumps of SMS-managed and non-SMS-managed volumes can exist on the same dump tape. which would leave me to believe that SMS and nonSMS volumes would be stacked on the same tape volume within the same DUMPCLASS. This doesn't happen at this account. So before I go into the volid of HSM PMR land, I thought that I'd query the group in case that I missed a parm or two. Do you have nonSMS and SMS volumes stacking to the same tape volumes?. I created a test on our sandbox where I set a DUMPCLASS that stacks 99 volumes and created a StorGrp with one volume that dumped to that DumpClass and created (ADDVOL) three nonSMS volumes that also used that DumpClass. When I started the dump cycle, HSM dumped the SMS volume on 1 tape for that DumpClass and then call for another tape and then dumped the three nonSMS volumes.
