Well, first of all, "display" doesn't "DO" anything, you need to use the
EXECUTE parm instead, plus just doing ML2 won't really help your BACKUPS. You
also need to expire the backup volumes via a completely different command.
When you say a percent of zero, that only frees up volumes w

Nope, that is not the original problem.
What happened was that when I was working through a list of datasets that
have not been used for over a year, I found out that some of those files
were not catalogued. As those are (were) SMS managed datasets, this should
not happen.

Makes me wonder how old the system is...state governments are notorious for
running hardware long past its useful life. If this was ESCON, life might
get interesting.

I wonder why the fiber cards were not set up in a redundant configuration. Like
even in a lab environment, all of my peripherals are connected across 2 or more
cards.

When one part goes down, all you get is a message. You don't get an
outage until enough parts go down and the devices stops working
(enough raid volumes to not rebuild blocks, all communications
channels).

I believe that I may have found the option I need. In the service element,
under the service userid, I see an option to concurrently add or remove
hardware. I do not see an option under install or uninstall for any of the
cards in question, which leads me to believe that just inserting them whil
