Listing backup volume entries

You specify the HLIST command with the BACKUPVOLUME parameter to get a list of the information for all the backup volumes managed by DFSMShsm. The command lists the volumes in alphanumeric sequence by volume serial number. You specify HLIST BACKUPVOLUME(volser) to get a list of the information for a specific backup volume managed by DFSMShsm.

Table 1 presents the information included in the list of all backup volumes or of a specific backup volume.

Table 1. Headings of Output When You Request Information for Backup Volumes
Printer Output Heading	Terminal Label	Description
VOLSER	VOL	This field contains the volume serial number of the backup volume.
DEVICE TYPE	DEVTYP	This field contains the type of unit on which this volume can be allocated.
BACKUP TYPE	BACKTYP	DAILY or SPILL indicates the DFSMShsm volume category of the backup volume. AVAIL specifies that the backup category was not assigned and the volume is available to be used as a daily or spill backup volume when the volume is used for the first time.
VOL FULL	FULL	For a DASD backup volume, YES indicates that an attempt to back up a data set to this volume failed because of insufficient space. For a tape backup volume, YES indicates that in writing to the tape, an end-of-tape marker was reached or a data movement error occurred and the volume was marked full to prevent further use.
TOTAL TRACKS	TOTAL TRKS	This field contains the total track capacity of the DASD volume. If this field indicates zero tracks, the backup volume has never been used. This field does not apply to tape.
FREE TRACKS	FREE TRKS	This field contains the number of tracks on the DASD volume available for data sets. This field does not apply to tape.
THRESH	THRESH	This field contains the threshold of occupancy for the DASD backup volume. This field does not apply to tape.
LAST BACKUP DATE	LAST BACKUP DATE	This field contains the date that the volume was most recently used as a target volume for backup, spill, or recycle processing.
PSWD	PSWD	A YES or Y indicates that the tape volume is password-protected. This field does not apply to DASD.
EXP	EXP	A YES or Y indicates that the tape volume is protected by an expiration date. This field does not apply to DASD.
RACF	RACF	A YES or Y indicates that the tape volume is RACF-protected. This field does not apply to DASD.
EMPTY	EMPTY	A Y indicates that the tape volume is empty. This field does not apply to DASD.
IDRC	IDRC	Y = Volume contains data in the Improved Data Recording Capability format. N = Volume does not contain data in the Improved Data Recording Capability format. ** = Volume is empty—not assigned the Improved Data Recording Capability format.
DUPLEX ALT	DUPLEX ALT	volser indicated the volume serial number of the duplexed alternate PEND indicates an exception condition and an internal TAPECOPY is pending NONE indicates volume not created in a duplexing environment
Note: A field containing only *** is not applicable (see individual field descriptions in the sample lists).

Figure 1 is a sample printer list of all the backup volumes when you specify the BACKUPVOLUME parameter. The printer list format for a specific volume has the same format as that described in Figure 1. If you request information for only one volume, the list has one entry.
