RECALL: Specifying the target volume to receive recalled data sets

Explanation: RECALL is an optional parameter specifying where DFSMShsm puts the non-SMS-managed recalled data sets.

Subparameter Explanation
ANYSTORAGEVOLUME DFSMShsm recalls a data set to an online primary volume with the use attribute of storage and the primary volume attribute of automatic recall. You specify the primary volume attribute with the ADDVOL command.
PRIVATEVOLUME DFSMShsm recalls a data set to any online primary volume with the use attribute of public, storage, or private and the primary volume attribute of automatic recall. You specify the primary volume attribute with the ADDVOL command.

LIKE | UNLIKE are mutually exclusive, optional subparameters of the ANYSTORAGEVOLUME or PRIVATEVOLUME subparameters.

Subparameter Explanation
LIKE During undirected recall, only primary volumes whose primary volume attributes match the attributes of the primary volume that the data set migrated from are considered as possible target volumes for the recall.
UNLIKE During undirected recall, volumes whose currently specified primary volume attributes do not match those of the source primary volume are eligible for selection. DFSMShsm selects the volume for recall from one of three groups of volumes. The following are groups of volumes and how they are ordered:
  • Volumes with like recall attributes
  • Volumes with unlike recall attributes in automatic backup and backup device category
  • Volumes with unlike recall attributes in automatic migration

The volumes in each group are ordered according to most-available free space. For more information on defining pools of volumes, refer to Defining pools of volumes.

SMS relationship: Parameter does not apply to SMS-managed DASD volumes or data sets.

SETSYS default: If you specify RECALL without a subparameter, the SETSYS default is ANYSTORAGEVOLUME. If you do not specify the LIKE or UNLIKE subparameter with the ANYSTORAGEVOLUME or PRIVATEVOLUME subparameter, the SETSYS default is LIKE.

DFSMShsm default: If you do not specify this parameter on any SETSYS command, the DFSMShsm default for data sets is RECALL(ANYSTORAGEVOLUME).
Note:
  1. The LIKE/UNLIKE subparameter does not apply if a data set is SMS-managed when migrated and later is recalled as a non-SMS-managed data set.
  2. For BDAM data sets, DFSMShsm selects only devices that are the same device type as the one the data sets migrated from. The DAOPTION of the RECALL and RECOVER commands can be used to specify how BDAM data sets can be moved to a target volume using relative track or relative block accessing. In addition, target volumes with track sizes different from the last level 0 volume from which the BDAM data set came can be selected.
  3. In a JES3 environment, specify the same subparameter for DFSMShsm hosts that set up jobs and for DFSMShsm hosts that run the jobs.
