UNIT: Specifying the type of device

Explanation: UNIT(unittype) is an optional parameter specifying the type of unit where DFSMShsm can allocate the nonmanaged source volume.

For unittype, substitute the type of unit where DFSMShsm can allocate the volume.

The following are valid types of DASD units:
Defaults: None.
Note:
  1. You must specify the UNIT parameter if the volume you specify is not managed by DFSMShsm.
  2. DFSMShsm ignores the UNIT parameter if you specify the MIGRATIONLEVEL1 or DATASETNAME parameters.
