RMM & HSM Question
Hello listers, I have the following software stack: z/OS 1.4 DFSMS/hsm DFSMS/rmm We currently use HSM to do full & incremental volume backups on a daily basis. We are looking at changing some of our hardware with a view to exploiting 3592's. Can I automatically (I can do most of the application stuff with JCL) stack cartridges to a near full capacity using DFSMS/rmm and or HSM. Is this possible? If so how?

Re: RMM & HSM Question
If you throw TMM into the mix, it is quite easy. TMM(Tape mount Manager) works with SMS to turn tape mounts into disk file writes, even to the point of reblocking for optimum disk use. Then you configure HSM to migrate your TMM datasets to tape when the TMM volumes are xx% full.

Mark, Search the DFSMShsm manuals for the word "STACK". HTH, Greg Shirey Ben E.

Re: RMM & HSM Question
I'd suggest to review ARCCMDxx and change MARKFULL parameter. I don't remember the names, but HSM gives you a choice: reuse partially written tape next time, or treat it as full (markfull) and not mount it for output again. The first option allows to utilize the capacity of the 3592. BTW: RMM has nothing to do with the issue. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland Mark Wilson wrote: Hello listers, I have the following software stack: z/OS 1.4 DFSMS/hsm DFSMS/rmm We currently use HSM to do full & incremental volume backups on a daily basis.

Re: RMM & HSM Question
Mark, If your question is just related to filling HSM tapes, the answers already posted are what you need; HSM knows how big the volumes are and how to fill them if you let it. HSM can also stack dump tapes. If you are also looking at using 3592 for other applications you may have difficulty filling them, but you could look to move data from existing tapes to the new, larger ones using a tool that will moves files and stack them onto fewer volumes. There are several tools on the market that work with RMM including a enw one from IBM; The IBM Tivoli Tape Optimizer http://www-306.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/tape-optimizer-zos/ Mike Wood RMM Development On Tue, 24 May 2005 06:55:07 +0100, Mark Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Hello listers, > > > >I have the following software stack: > z/OS 1.4 > DFSMS/hsm > DFSMS/rmm >We currently use HSM to do full & incremental volume backups on a daily >basis. >We are looking at changing some of our hardware with a view to exploiting >3592's. >Can I automatically (I can do most of the application stuff with JCL) stack >cartridges to a near full capacity using DFSMS/rmm and or HSM. > >Is this possible? > >If so how? > >Kind Regards > >Mark Wilson -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
