ARC0263I
DUMP VOLUME volser {DELETED | NOT DELETED}, VOLUME STATUS= {PURGED | UNASSIGNED | REASSIGNED | UNAVAILABLE | UNCHANGED}{, RETCODE= return-code }

Explanation

DFSMShsm attempted to invalidate the contents of the dump volume volser. This was done either because:
  • The dump copy’s expiration date was reached.
  • The dump copy was rolled off because the maximum of 100 generations was reached and a new dump of the source volume has been scheduled.
  • The DELVOL command was issued for a dump volume.

If DELETED is indicated in the message, all references to the dump copy are removed from the DFSMShsm control data sets. If NOT DELETED is indicated, the status is UNCHANGED.

The return-code value indicates the error.
Retcode
Meaning
0
Deleting the volume with the DELVOL command was successful.
2
The DVL record for the volume did not indicate the dump copy was for the same source volume as was expected.
4
An I/O error occurred trying to update or delete the DVL record. Message ARC0184I preceded this message giving the type of error.
6
The DVL record was in use while DFSMShsm was trying to process it.

System action

DFSMShsm processing continues.

Programmer response

If the volume was not deleted and the return-code is 2, a prior error probably occurred while trying to invalidate a dump copy. Use the LIST command to determine the content of the volume and to find out what the valid dump copies are for the source volume.

When a volume is deleted and marked unavailable do the following to remove it from DFSMShsm’s control.
  • To list the tapes marked unavailable issue: LIST DUMPVOLUME SELECT(UNAVAILABLE)
  • Run the IEHINIT utility to relabel the tape.
  • Issue the DELVOL volser DUMP(PURGE) command for each volume.
