1. Beware of export tapes and how you plan on managing them!
a. Using DEL VOLH you are forced to manage all export tapes the same.
(DEL VOL xxxxxx is only valid for storage pool volumes.)
Note: We are using export in two different ways:
1. To move data from one server to another. Once theses
were moved we wanted to reclaim the tapes quickly.
2. To move old data off ADSM and it's database,
but still having the ability to restore if necessary.
We needed to keep these tapes.
I don't have a solution on how to reclaim only the tapes
I don't need anymore. (I have over 50 3590's tied up)
b. If I remember correctly, the export DEVCLAS you use must exist on
the
system you run your import.
2. One of the admins here tried from her workstation and her exports
failed after 2-3 hours. Instead execute the export command from the MVS
console. Your Q SESS will look like this:
adsm> q sess
Sess Comm. Sess Wait Bytes Bytes Sess Platform Client Name
Number Method State Time Sent Recvd Type
------ ------ ------ ------ ------- ------- ----- --------
--------------------
--------------------
1,697 Memory SendW 0 S 25.8 M 187 Admin Server
1,697 Memory SendW 0 S 25.8 M 187 Admin Server
SERVER_CONSOLE
IPC
3. The imports didn't fail if the command was done from an admin
workstation, but I preferred
running it from the MVS console.
4. Another gotcha: I tried splitting up my backup and archive exports
then importing them...don't do it! Once the filespace is imported you
cannot import more data into it.(At least I haven't
figured it out yet.)
Hope this helps. I've been doing this for the last few weeks, it is
very
time consuming. Good luck.
