Hi, We have an hsm ocds cds file sized cyl(4000,0) a bcds1 cds file sized cyl(4000,0) a bcds2 cds also sized cyl,(4000,0) an mcds1 cds file sized cyl(4000,0) and an mcds2 file also sized cyl(4000,0) About every 3 months or so, 1 or more of these start creeping into the 90%+ full range and we do a re-org. (we cannot take advantage of the ca reclaim function unfortunately)
These cds files have been size of CYL,(4000,0) for a couple years and I think increasing their sizes one at a time,as particular reorgs come up to be performed might help reduce the number of reorgs I have to do during the year. So, wouldn't CYL,(4300,0) be the largest absolute size I can go with the BCDS2 (without doing anything like extended attribute etc)? Is there any rule that requires the bcd2 be the exact same filesize as the bcds1? Would there be any danger with say, backvol cds, by having the bcds1 4000 cyls but have the bcds2 bigger at 4300? I've also heard that HSM doesn't like coding secondaries when creating the cds files.......true?? thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
