Yes, it would then (if you change the DISPLAY to EXECUTE :-) ) migrate any still-valid datasets off tapes at 5% or lower utilization to different tapes, thus emptying the targeted tape and then scratch/recycle them. Rex -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On

Yes with percentage 0 it means to delete the empty tapes (virtual in my case) So to execute (delete) with percentage 5 is fine I believe? On Mon, Jul 25, 2022, 8:58 PM Pommier, Rex wrote: > Hi Peter, > > Does this command even do anything? I'm not an HSM guru but > PERCENTVALID(0) says only

Hi Peter, Does this command even do anything? I'm not an HSM guru but PERCENTVALID(0) says only process if the tape is empty. Doesn't HSM automatically recycle empty tapes? If you want to recycle tapes that are getting close to empty you need to increase the 0. I would try running it with

So I am just curious, are there any customers running VISARA VI8810 (dasd) or VTA5990 Tape solutions? If you do, any issues, compatibility? For the 5990, do you have 3490x or 3590 type tapes defined? Ms Terri E Shaffer Senior Systems Engineer, z/OS Support: ACIWorldwide – Telecommuter

Hi Jack. I'm going thru a similar process, although with a much smaller number of volumes. ADRDSSU also allows you to specify STORGRP instead of the volser: DUMP OUTDD(BUFILE) STORGRP(MACS)- DATASET(INCLUDE(**,- USERCAT.MACK01 -

Since you have the VTOC command - use that instead of IEHLIST  It will still run for a long time depending on the number of volumes and number of datasets. Lionel B. Dyck <>< Website: https://www.lbdsoftware.com Github: https://github.com/lbdyck “Worry more about your character than your

Hi, Thank you for your input. Using DFDSS like that would be an option. However, there are over eight thousand volumes in this system and that would be a lot of JOBs. I thought about submitting one JOB for each Storage Group but that would mean too many DD for most of the JOBs. Regards Jack On

Hi David, Sorry, I don't know the MLC for DITTO. However, in case you and others are not aware, IBM File Manager was developed on top of DITTO and includes most of the functions provided by DITTO. So if you have File Manager you may not need to continue paying for DITTO. Regards, Peter Van Dyke
