Re: Using DFDSS to copy non-extended format dataset to extended format?

2014-06-20 Thread Peter Hunkeler
My apologies for not responding earlier, but I wanted to try the AMS REPRO 
first. Unfortunately, I didn't have time for this until now.

First, regarding. more detail in my original post. I can understand, and 
usually post all information I think might help. This time, I probably should 
have just asked if there is an option to convert from non-EF to EF format 
during a DSS RESTORE. I promise to try to do better next time ;-)

I allocated a new zFS cluster making sure it is in extended format, then I ran 
an AMS REPRO (none of the zFSs was mounted). Next, I mounted both file systems 
and comapred the outcome of a ls -alER, as well as some randomly chosen 
files. This all compares equal, so I'm pretty sure the copy worked well.

The AMS copy of the 4GiB data set ran for only 6 minutes. A COPYTREE done 
previously ran for some 45 minutes.

No it's not faster.

DFSMSdss calls repro under the covers for most VSAM data set copy operations, 
but buffering is limited to whatever was used when the data set was defined.

I hope everyone uses a large BUFSP or BUFND value for REPRO (like 849920).

Re: Using DFDSS to copy non-extended format dataset to extended format?

2014-06-17 Thread John McKown
I can't answer your question. Especially since I don't know what various
ways that you tried. But I did have a possible thought you might want to
try. I assume the zFS container is not mounted at some UNIX mount point.
So, how about doing trying this:

1) Rename zFS data set (CLUSTER  DATA) to a new name.
2) Allocate a new zFS data set with the old name (CLUSTER  DATA) name, but
with the proper DATACLAS to be extended. This is really just a VSAM LINEAR
data set.
3) REPRO from the old zFS data set to the new zFS data set.
4) try to mount the new zFS data set, which has the old name, at the proper
UNIX mount point.
5) Profit! (sorry, weird \. - slashdot.org - reference).

Sorry, no there isn't. The data format under the covers is different. 
You're going to have to define a new extended format zFS mount it, then

I just tried IDCAMS REPRO for exactly the same purpose.  The job shows it 
worked, but a directory list of the new ZFS showed nothing in it.

So I then used the following PAX command:

/usr/sbin/mount -t ZFS -f PLEX.OLD.AGGR002.LDS0002 /service2

/usr/sbin/mount -t ZFS -f PLEX.NEW.AGGR002.LDS0002 /service3

cd /service2 

pax -rwvCMX -p eW . /service3


This series of commands gave the desired result.

We routinely use DSS dump/restore to clone/migrate ZFS around the

ZFS I've created was for ServerPac work space, and I started with an empty

Re: Using DFDSS to copy non-extended format dataset to extended format?

My largest zFS is a single SMPNTS data set in one of my sysplexes shared
by all the tech teams.   It is 4 3390-9 volumes.   It is also where I download
electronic Severpac deliveries.   I clean it up with CRON + Skulker and a
shell script (I borrowed and modified) to delete empty directories:


# Execute /SMPNTS1 cleanup every Friday at 05:45
# All files over 90 days old are deleted.   
#   
#  1) The first command is the skulker command to remove the old files  
#  2) The second command (rmemptydir) removes empty directores  
# from /SMPNTS1 at 05:50 am.  This is needed because
# skulker updates the last reference date of the directories
# so it never gets rid of the empty ones.   
#  3) The third command does a touch to /SMPNTS1/@readme.txt to update the
# reference date so skulker will not delete it in the future.   
#   
45 05 * * 5 /etc/skulker -rl /usr/spool/cron/skulker.log /SMPNTS1 90
50 05 * * 5 /etc/rmemptydir /SMPNTS1  /usr/spool/cron/skulker.log 
50 05 * * 5 touch /SMPNTS1/@readme.txt

Re: Using DFDSS to copy non-extended format dataset to extended format?

2014-06-17 Thread R.S.

We routinely use DSS dump/restore to clone/migrate ZFS around the
enterprise, but always to similar architecture. The only humongous (EF)
ZFS I've created was for ServerPac work space, and I started with an empty
volume. I agree with what's been said about radically different internals
in EF. Dump/restore is probably out of the question.


Well, the difference maybe is radically different, but it is very 
low-level. Regular application using records, keys, numbers and CI's (I 
mean all VSAM types) should not see any difference. The difference is 
inside 32-byte suffix appended to each physical block. The block itself 
is the same, it cannot be different, because it consist of CI's 
(actually CI consist of blocks), and the CI content is quite well 
documented. Up to every bit.
So the application using CI or record content shouldn't see any 
difference. Even RBA (for EF, but non-EA) should remain unchanged.


What I suspect:
a) The copy wasn't performed properly. I can imagine what could be 
wrong, or rather what discrepancy was important.
b) Internal zFS structure relies on RBA and The EF file was also EA, so 
RBA is different. Also note, the filesystem size depends on VSAM size at 
the moment of formatting. Maybe different changed size made zFS confusion.


Disclaimer: the above are only ideas.
