Are the volume serial numbers in the TCDB? I.e. the SMS Tape Control Data Base,
which is usually name SYS1.VOLCAT.VGENERAL. I would bet that they are not. So
you must run a ALTER command. We do this a lot at DR and have a REXX program:
/* REXX */
PARSE ARG INVOL
"ALTER V"INVOL" VOLENT STORGRP(SGRTAPE2) ",
"LIBNAME($ATL0002) LOCATION(LIBRARY) UATTR(PRIVATE)"
//.. idcams jcl
%ALTERVOL volser
/*
//* ONE PER VOLUME SERIAL.
I bet your DEF NVSAM is OK. One that I have is:
DEF NVSAM(NAME(TSHPG.CICSMGR.P8.DAILY.HISTORY.G2422V00) -
DEVT(3490) -
VOL(238263))
ALTER V238263 VOLENT STORGRP(SGRTAPE2) -
LIBNAME($ATL0002) LOCATION(LIBRARY) UATTR(PRIVATE)
You need both. I am not sure, but you might be able to get away with doing the
DEF NVSAM, followed by a CTSSYNC from CA-1. I'm not sure.
