ARC0550I
count DATA SETS ON VOLUME volser, WERE NOT PROCESSED BY FREEVOL

Explanation

At the end of processing a FREEVOL AGE(0) command, this message alerts system personnel that data might still remain on volume volser. The data remaining on the volume may include four categories of data not moved when FREEVOL AGE(0) is specified. The four categories of data are:
  • BACKDS backup versions
  • Migrated data sets associated with a management class defined for AUTOBACKUP and are not yet processed for backup versions
  • Data sets that may have been recalled, deleted, or moved to ML2 tape, during the FREEVOL processing of this volume
  • Fast Replication catalog information data sets, identified by the second qualifier of HSMCIDS, cannot be moved by a pre-V1R11 DFSMShsm.
count does not include the VTOC, the VTOC index data set, or SYS1.catalog entry. count includes the volume SDSP data set, if found, and may include data sets that have been recalled, deleted, or moved on to ML2 tape while this FREEVOL command was processing. Message ARC0550I is followed by message ARC0523I.
Note: DATA SETS refers to individual DSCBs found on the volume. VSAM data sets may have multiple DSCBs.

System action

DFSMShsm processing continues.

Programmer response

Before removing the volume from the system, look at the data sets remaining on the volume to determine if any of them must be kept.

When the remaining data on the volume contain only BACKDS backup versions, run AUTOBACKUP on the DFSMShsm primary host to remove them from the volume.

When the remaining data on the volume contain migrated data sets for which the backup requirements are not yet satisfied:

  1. Run AUTOBACKUP on the DFSMShsm primary host— to cause a backup version to be created of migrated data sets for which backup versions are yet needed. This process also removes any BACKDS backup versions from the volume.
  2. Then reissue the FREEVOL AGE(0) command—to remove the migrated data sets (those just backed up) from the volume.

When the remaining data sets on the volume are DFSMShsm Fast Replication catalog information data sets, reissue the FREEVOL AGE(0) command on a z/OS® V1R11 or later DFSMShsm to move the data sets. Loss of these data sets restricts the recovery of data sets from associated copy pools.

When the remaining data sets on the volume have retained backup copies, reissue the FREEVOL command on a z/OS V1R11 or later system.

System personnel must deal individually with any remaining data sets that must be kept.
