Hello,
I'm trying to learn how to use (virtual) tapes with OS/390 ADCD 2.10 running on Hercules Hyperion Release 4.7.
I guess I've discovered a hard bug in ADRDSSU, the utility to dump and restore datasets to/from tape.
Test scenario:
- Create Volume, attach, initialize, mount
- FTP just a handful of files (BOOKs) to that volume
- DUMP those uploaded DS to tape with ADRDSSU
If the volume is a 3390-27, the majority of DS generate an error:
ADR299E (001)-OPNCL(01), CORRECT SIZE (IN CYLINDERS) OF VOLUME BOOKS0 CANNOT BE DETERMINED. VOLUME IS NOT PROCESSED. SIZE FROM DEVTYPE MACRO IS 032760. SIZE FROM RDC DATA IS 032760. SIZE FROM VTOC IS 032760. SIZE FROM VTOC INDEX IS 014985.
If the volume is a 3390-9, there are no errors.
Is this a known issue? Any hints what I can use besides ADRDSSU for save/restore to tape?
Note: BookManager can access those DS without issue from a 3390-27.
I'm aware that I could use more than one volume and spread data accordingly. This would necessitate changing my FTP workflow to "switch over" to the next volume, once the current one is (nearly) full.
:wq! PoC
