Specifying recall characteristics for the type of volume

For non-SMS-managed data sets, DFSMShsm selects the type of volume to which a data set can be recalled. The characteristics for a volume to be eligible to receive recalled data sets are the same for all non-SMS-managed data sets in the system. The RECALL parameter of the SETSYS command specifies the general volume destinations for the recalled data sets. In the example system, the following command is added to the ARCCMDxx member in all DFSMShsm hosts:
SETSYS RECALL(ANYSTORAGEVOLUME(LIKE))

This command causes any volume with the use attribute of storage and availability for automatic recall to be eligible for selection as a destination for any recalled data set not directed to a pool volume.

An alternative value for the subparameter of the RECALL command is PRIVATEVOLUME. The PRIVATEVOLUME subparameter specifies that data sets not directed to a pool can be recalled to any volume with the use attribute of public, private, or storage that has AUTORECALL specified in the ADDVOL command.

The LIKE subparameter that was specified causes DFSMShsm to select as a target volume for recall only a volume with recall attributes like those of the volume from which the data set migrated. The alternative UNLIKE subparameter allows DFSMShsm to select a volume with unlike recall attributes.
