DSNU1522I THE DFSMSHSM CALL TO RESTORE obj-type obj-qual.obj-name dsnum n FAILED WITH RC = X'hsm-rc' and REASON CODE = X'hsm-rsc'. SEE THE JOB LOG FOR DFSMSHSM MESSAGES INDICATING THE CAUSE OF THE ERROR

Explanation

This message is issued by the RECOVER utility when the call to DFSMShsm to restore the data sets for the object from a system-level backup failed with the return code and reason code indicated in the message. The HSM job log will contain error messages issued by DFSMShsm that indicate the cause of the error.

System action

If OPTIONS EVENT(ITEMERROR,SKIP) was specified, the recovery of this object will be skipped and the recovery of the other objects in the list will continue. Otherwise, the RECOVER utility will terminate.

System programmer response

Review the RECOVER utility job output and, in particular, the DFSMShsm messages in the HSM job log to determine the cause of the failure. If the restore of the data sets failed due to target volume connectivity problems or hardware failures, the system storage administrator should be contacted to resolve the problem. After the problem is resolved, you can run the RECOVER utility job again.

If the problem with the system-level backup cannot be resolved, you can consider these recovery options to bypass the problem:
  • RECOVER with the RESTOREBEFORE option to direct the recovery to find a recovery base prior to the system-level backup that has the problem. More log apply processing will be needed during the recovery of the object.
  • RECOVER with the FROMDUMP option (or specify YES for the RESTORE/RECOVER FROM DUMP installation option on installation panel DSNTIP6) to direct the recovery to use a copy of the system-level backup that had been dumped to tape.
  • Specify SYSTEM-LEVEL BACKUPS as NO on installation panel DSNTIP6 to avoid choosing system-level backups as a recovery base.

Problem determination

The DFSMShsm message(s) appearing in the HSM job log will indicate the cause of the failure.
