Re: AUDIT VOL with WAIT=YES ?

2012-11-07 Thread Loon, EJ van - SPLXM
Hi Roger! Why don't you use a MOVE DATA against r/o volumes? It has a WAIT=YES parameter and it's better than using the AUDIT VOLUME command. When you have a read error on a primary pool volume, the audit command (with FIX=YES) removes the backup data from the tape. Not a problem for backup data
