AFAIK, the last ML1 cannot be deleted unless you turn off volume dump. The VTOC copies are used for Volume Recovery and Incremental Backup application.
<snip> 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?? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
