We've done exactly the same thing - eliminated all but 1 ML1 volume. I'll be following this thread with great interest. ddk
From: Jonathan Miller <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 03/01/2011 10:26 AM Subject: Removing DFSMShsm ML1 Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> We have implemented a Virtual Tape Library in our environment and have attempted to remove ML1 completely. Has anyone else done this? I have not been able to get rid of the last ML1 pack because of the VTOC backups. Are these necessary with todays RAID DASD??
