Using the AUDIT VOLUMECONTROLS (RECOVERABLE) command

When you specify the AUDIT VOLUMECONTROLS (RECOVERABLE) parameter, AUDIT cross-checks BCDS control records that concern recoverable (“eligible”) volumes, that is, volumes that have been backed up or dumped. These control records are checked against other DFSMShsm controls to which they refer. AUDIT then produces a list of errors.

If a specified volume serial has not been backed up or dumped, AUDIT reports *ERR 105.

If an existing eligible volume (P) record indicates that the volume is owned by DFSMShsm, but there is no migration volume record in the MCDS or backup volume record in the BCDS for that volume, AUDIT reports *ERR 90.

AUDIT detects "errors" for FRBACKUP volumes that are recoverable (*ERR 192). When the FIX option is used and an FRBACKUP COPYPOOL volume is found to be recoverable, the only action that needs to be taken is to confirm with AUDIT COPYPOOLCONTROLS(copypoolname) that this volume is indeed recoverable.
