Hi All,

One of my data set is with MIGFILES MC and MC rules as below
Code:

                                                 
Expiration Attributes                             
                                                 
  Expire after Days Non-usage  . : 35             
  Expire after Date/Days . . . . : NOLIMIT       
  Retention Limit  . . . . . . . : 0             
                                                 
                                                 
Migration Attributes                       
  Primary Days Non-usage  . : 0             
  Level 1 Days Date/Days  . : 0             
  Level 2 Days Non-usage  . : NOLIMIT       
  Command or Auto Migrate . : BOTH         
  Size Less Than or Equal to:               
   Action . . . . . . . . . :               



As per the MC, File should be migrated to ML2 directly but the below file
TEST.USER.MIGPC155 Which was created on 2014.113 and not in use

Listc details as below:-
Code:

CLUSTER ------- TEST.USER.MIGPC155                                   
     IN-CAT --- USER.U00O001.CATALOG                                         
     HISTORY                                                                 
       DATASET-OWNER-----(NULL)     CREATION--------2014.113                 
       RELEASE----------------2     EXPIRATION------0000.000                 
     SMSDATA                                                                 
       STORAGECLASS ---STANDARD     MANAGEMENTCLASS-MIGFILES                 
       DATACLASS -----------SCR     LBACKUP ---0000.000.0000                 
       CA-RECLAIM---------(YES)                                               
       EATTR-------------(NULL)                                               
       BWO STATUS------00000000     BWO TIMESTAMP---00000 00:00:00.0         
       BWO---------------(NULL)                                               


My file is not getting Migrated. I have verified ACS Routines and everything looks okay. And other files belongs to this MC are getting Migrated as expected.

Any suggestions on this.

Thanks!

It can have certain reasons why a dataset is not migrated or scratched. In this case I'd suggest you have a look on the DFHSM activity log and act accordingly to the RET/RSN codes.

Normal reason is that a backup does not exist where the MGMTCLAS states that one should

@expat: That brings you back to what I have written. Look at RET/RSN codes.

Let us know the RET/RSN code from the DFHSM log.

Hi Joerg,

I have searched information about the above file in DFHSMLOG but no details found.

Please let me know is there any specific way to find RET/RSN code?

Thanks!

When you try to migrate the DSN to ML2, it should bring something up. Please try that.

Hi Joerg,

Sure, I will Migrate it manually and will get the details from DFHSMLOG

Thanks!

Hi Joerg,

I have manually Migrated dataset to ML2 but no information about this dataset in DFHSMLOG.

But I have executed the below command
Code:

HLIST DA('TEST.USER.MIGPC155')MCDS


Output of the above command :
Code:

DSN=TEST.USER.MIGPC155                  MIGVOL=N08269 DSO=VS  SDSP=NO
 LAST REF=14/04/13 MIG=20/02/24 TRKS=00000698 2K BLKS= ******* TIMES MIG= 00001
  16K BLKS=0000001895  LAST MIGVOL=*NONE*


Looks like HSM is excluding this dataset?

Thanks!

The dataset was migrated on the 24th Feb, presumably by yourself, so there is no issue.

As to why it hadn't migrated without you entering a specific migrate command, then this can depend on a couple of things. As DFHSM goes through a volume to determine what to migrate it prioritises things to minimise the amount of work it has to do. I can't remember exactly, but I think it looks at GDG's beyond their retain on primary limit, then size descending along with Mgmtclas. So it will migrate datasets in this sort of order, until the volume has reached the low threshold value set for the Storgrp, then it stops migration of the volume. Because of this often small datasets never get migrated as they're not in the priority list and the volumes low threshold is reached before it needs to migrate any more data.

You can manually migrate datasets that should be migrated, or issue a migrate command for the volume which will take ALL the eligible datasets based on Mgmtclas criteria.
