Explanation
DFSMSdss cannot use a fast
replication method to copy the VTOC tracks. This message is issued during physical full volume or
tracks copy operations. When DFSMSdss
needs to rebuild the VTOC during copy, you must use a traditional data movement method for VTOC
tracks. The possible reason codes for reason_code are:
- X'1'
- The source VTOC is in an old VTOC format. Therefore, you must preserve some of the information
in the target VTOC.
- X'2'
- The number of cylinders on the target volume do not match the number on the source volume, so
you must rebuild the free space information in the VTOC.
- X'3'
- You must copy the first track of the VTOC on the volume using manual I/O because of a COPY
TRACKS operation that includes all or part of the VTOC on the source volume, and/or overlays all or
part of the VTOC on the target volume.
System action
DFSMSdss processing continues. The
return code is zero.
Operator response
Programmer response
See the reason code provided in this message for an explanation of why DFSMSdss cannot use fast replication to copy all the VTOC
tracks. Take the following actions according to the reason code (
reason_code):
- X'1'
- Update the old VTOC format for the source volume and rerun the job.
- X'2'
- Choose a target volume that has the same number of cylinders as the source.
- X'3'
- Ensure that the track range does not include the VTOC and/or does not overlay the VTOC on the
target volume.
