Specifying duplexing for migration level 2 tapes

The duplex tape option creates two identical tapes in parallel, with one tape designated as the original and one the alternate. To create duplex migration level 2 tapes, specify
SETSYS DUPLEX(MIGRATION(Y))
If duplexing is not desired for your migration level 2 tapes, specify
SETSYS DUPLEX(MIGRATION(N))

The DFSMShsm default is no duplexing.
