  Hi ADSM development,

  we have seen the same problem with our MVS Server (1.1.0.13).
  Sometimes the DUMP DB starts, but hangs after waiting for a second volume.
  Had anyone else the same problem with a MVS Server, and how could this
  problem be fixed? We plan to use the new version V2 in the near future, is
  the problem there already fixed?

  TIA

  3490 drives and it could be the the server is selecting
