How to find a VSAM is eligible to go for multivol or not? I am the storage guy and I thought that the best way to find it is issue listc ent(/) all and then if it shows volume ------- * after another volume-----MVS001 is shown it will show that the VSAM is eligible for multivol as it is showing candidates. I have a customer who does not want his VSAM to go multivolume (he says it becomes tough for him to recover it later on)....Can you advise? |

The only reason that I can think of for "it becomes tough to recover later on" is an ill thought out or implemented backup / recovery strategy.
IDCAMS, DFdss, FAVER are all options to perform correct and proper strategies. |

You answered that one yourself in the original post. If the catalog does not show secondary volumes available, then it will not use them. |
