Error description
Currently if you do an Object Restore running on z/OS level below V1.8, the DB2 tablespace datasets are deleted and then the restore determines that it can't get the objects back issuing the following error: ARYS118E - MVS 1.8 or higher is required to restore datasets from DASD using DFSMSdss The check for determining the release of z/OS needs to be done before the tablespace datasets are deleted. NOTE: If running on z/OS V1.8 or higher the object restore works successfully, this is not an issue.
Local fix
DB2 Recovery Expert "System Backup and Restore Services" can recover objects on a z/OS 1.7 system from a system backup that has been offloaded to tape. You can offload your backup to tape, then re-run the object recovery job.
