If the entire volume is unreadable, it would seem you need to use DELVOL to tell SMS that everything that was supposed to be on that volume is lost.
If some of the files on the tape are usable, then FREEVOL may be a better choice or possibly RECYCLE (either combined with the appropriate BDELETEs to skip over the unreadable files). AUDIT does not process the media. It processes the various CDSs and catalogs to ensure consistency but not necessarily accuracy. As with all datasets, anything of which you have only one copy that is unreadable means you have zero copies. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of af dc Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2012 11:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: DFHSM: Backup tape lost due to errors Hello, suppose you have an 3592-JB dfhsm cart (native, not a vts stacked cart) that can't be read due to physical damage, no tape backup duplication. Several backups are unique, no additional versions. How to correct bcds ?? Run AUDIT DATASETCONTROLS (BACKUP) with NOFIX (to check the amount corrections) and then with FIX ???
