ARC0223I
DEFINE LEVEL 2 - NO MORE FREE VOLUMES {KEYRANGES MAY BE SKIPPED}

Explanation

DFSMShsm attempted to cause migration of a data set to a level 2 DASD volume. There are no more DASD level 2 volumes with space for the data set.

If KEYRANGES MAY BE SKIPPED is stated in the message during level migration to DASD or during migration of a volume to level 2 DASD, then migration failed to associate a level 2 DASD volume to a key range. A level 2 DASD volume could not be associated to a key range for one of the following reasons:
  • No level 2 DASD volume was associated to the key range when the level 2 DASD key ranges were defined.
  • An attempt was made to cause the migration of a data set to level 2 DASD. There was either not enough space for the data or there was no space left in the VTOC. Message ARC0503E was issued to the command activity log and gives the reason for the allocation error.
  • The allocation of the level 2 DASD volume that was associated to the key range failed. Message ARC0500I was issued to the command activity log and gives more information about the allocation error.

System action

The data set being processed does not migrate. DFSMShsm processing continues.

If KEYRANGES MAY BE SKIPPED is stated in the message, level migration to DASD or migration of a volume to level 2 DASD will not cause the migration of any more data sets from the key range that caused ARC0223I to be issued. No data sets will migrate from any subsequent key range that needs to associate a level 2 DASD volume.

Programmer response

Use the ADDVOL command to make additional level 2 DASD volumes available to DFSMShsm. To reuse the current level 2 volumes, issue a DELVOL MIGRATION (UNASSIGN) command for each volume in the key range, followed by a DEFINE command for the specific key range.

If the indexed VTOC is full, redefine the level 2 DASD with a larger indexed VTOC.

If an allocation error occurred, indicated by message ARC0500I or ARC0503E in the command activity log, perform problem determination as indicated by the message.
