A tape ML2 volume can be in use in only one of the following ways
at any single point in time:
- As a target volume for migration data output. Primary space management,
interval migration, secondary space management, and data set and volume
command management all generate migration data output.
- As a target volume for recycle.
- As a source volume for recycle.
- As a source volume for recall.
- As a source volume for TAPECOPY.
- As a source volume for ABACKUP.
- As a target volume for ARECOVER.
This topic describes what DFSMShsm does to resolve volume contention
among the different tasks that request the same tape ML2 volume.
