Explanation: VOLCOUNT(ANY | NONE) is an optional parameter that affects how DFSMShsm will invoke DFSMSdss for the recall and recover of data sets moved by DFSMSdss. Refer to z/OS DFSMSdss Storage Administration for more specific information about the restrictions and limitations of the DFSMSdss VOLCOUNT parameter.
| Subparameter | Explanation |
|---|---|
| ANY | DFSMShsm passes the VOLCOUNT(ANY) parameter to DFSMSdss during the recall or recover of data moved by DFSMSdss. This results in the allocation of the target data set on as many volumes as required, to a maximum of 59. |
| NONE | The VOLCOUNT parameter is not passed to DFSMSdss. Issuing SETSYS VOLCOUNT(NONE) will reset the associated DFSMShsm indicators and DFSMShsm will operate as it did prior to the VOLCOUNT support being added. If, for example, VOLCOUNT(ANY) had been previously specified, issuing SETSYS VOLCOUNT(NONE) resets the associated DFSMShsm indicators. |
The VOLCOUNT parameters of ANY or NONE are ignored if specified for data types to which they do not apply. Refer to the z/OS DFSMShsm Implementation and Customization Guide to determine data set types moved by DFSMSdss for DFSMShsm.
SMS relationship: Parameter applies in some instances to SMS-managed DASD volumes or data sets.
SETSYS default: There is no SETSYS default.
DFSMShsm default: If you do not specify SETSYS VOLCOUNT, the default is NONE.
