Output media error handling
During level 1 to level 2 migration of automatic secondary space management processing, if an error condition occurs on any output media (tape or DASD), a message is sent to the operator’s console to inform the operator of the error condition, and the task is stopped. DFSMShsm does not remove this message from the console; therefore, the operator must enter a console command to remove the message.
If you are using the duplex tape option for your migration tapes, and the error condition occurs on the alternate volume, the function is not stopped.
When the error condition that caused the level 1 to level 2 migration
to end is corrected, the operator can restart level 1 to level 2 migration
if the current time is within the automatic secondary space management
window. You can use one of the following commands to restart level
1 to level 2 migration:
- RELEASE MIGRATION(AUTO)
- RELEASE MIGRATION
- ADDVOL (volume of the device type in error) and RELEASE MIGRATION or RELEASE MIGRATION(AUTO)
