ARC0704E
{BACKUP | DUMP | RECOVER} OF VOLUME volser1 TERMINATED, ERROR {ALLOCATING | OPENING | CLOSING | READING | WRITING} VTOC COPY DATA SET [ON VOLUME volser2]

Explanation

While performing a backup, dump, or recover operation on a volume with volume serial number volser1, DFSMShsm attempted to perform the identified operation on a copy of the VTOC of the volume being processed. This copy of the VTOC resides on a backup or migration level 1 volume for backups or recovers, or on a migration level 1 volume for dump. The copy would be used to control a volume recovery or restore if necessary. In an attempt to perform the suggested operation on the VTOC copy data set, an error occurred.

If the error was ALLOCATING VTOC COPY DATA SET the volume serial number where the allocation of the VTOC copy data set failed is identified by volser2.

If FAST REPLICATION DUMP processing was interrupted previously for this volume, the VTOC copy might have been partially allocated.

Note: If SMS is attempting to manage the allocation of the HSM.VTOC.* data set, check ACS routines to be sure that the HSM.VTOC.* data sets are not SMS managed.

System action

The volume operation ends. DFSMShsm processing continues.

Programmer response

If FAST REPLICATION DUMP processing was interrupted previously for this volume and now fails because it cannot allocate the VTOC copy data set, the existing VTOC will need to be deleted prior to the retry of the DUMP function. Volser2 is the name of the volser where the VTOC resides. The specific VTOC copy data set can be identified by 'DFHSM.DUMPVTOC.timestamp.Vvolser1.Ddate'. Issue a LIST COPYPOOL(cpname) for copy pool version date and time stamps.
