While DFSMShsm has been processing a DELVOL command, an attempt has been made to delete the entry for the volume in one of the DFSMShsm control data sets (CDSs). The volume is a primary, migration, backup, or dump volume and has the volume serial number volser. This message reports the results of the delete operation. When the ENTRY is DELETED or MARKEDFULL, this means that the command has been successful, whereas NOT MARKEDFULL means it has not been successful.
If a DELVOL UNASSIGN command is issued for a tape migration level 2 volume, DFSMShsm marks the volume as not selected. A selected volume is a partially full volume that still has space after completion of a prior volume or data set migration. If the volume has not been selected, the DELVOL UNASSIGN command for this tape volume has no useful purpose.
If the result is NOT DEFINED, DFSMShsm could not find the specified volume serial number with the specified volume type.
If the result is NOT DELETED — CDS ERROR, an error has occurred while trying to process one of the control data sets.
If the result is NOT DELETED — VALID DATA MAY EXIST ON VOLUME, an attempt has been made to issue a DELVOL command with the PURGE parameter for a tape migration level 2 volume. The offline control data set (OCDS) tape table of contents record (TTOC) indicates that the volume may contain valid migration copies, so the processing ends. If the PURGE parameter has been used because the ML2 tape has been lost or destroyed and fails due to ARC0260I, issue the command MIGRATE VOLUME(xxxxxx DBA(0)), where xxxxxx is the volume, to remove all record of valid data, then issue the DELVOL PURGE command again. This should only be done when the tape is totally unusable because it removes what may be the only copy of the data. If backup copies are available, recover the data sets that the MIGRATE command deleted.
If the result is NOT DELETED — VOLUME INELIGIBLE FOR DELVOL, an attempt has been made to issue a DELVOL when the ineligible for DELVOL flag is on in the migration control data set volume record (MCV) of the volume. This flag is set on when a VSAM data set migrates to tape and there has been a failure trying to update the TTOC record to reflect this migration (see related messages ARC1285I and ARC0538I). The volume still contains valid migration copies, so DELVOL processing ends.
If the result is NOT DELETED — SELECTED BY ANOTHER HOST, an attempt has been made to issue a DELVOL command and it has been found that the volume is selected by another processing unit.
In a multiple processing unit environment, it is necessary to issue the DELVOL command on each of the processors to which a volume has been added by an ADDVOL command. This message will appear on each system after the first successful DELVOL command, in which case no further action is necessary.
If the result is NOT DELETED — CONTAINS ONLY DUMP COPY, the volume contains part of the only valid dump copy for a primary or non-DFSMShsm-managed volume. The LASTCOPY parameter must be specified to delete such a volume.
If the result is NOT DELETED — PURGE NOT SPECIFIED FOR STACKED VOLUME, an attempt has been made to issue a DELVOL command without the PURGE option, for a dump volume with more than one valid dump copy stacked on it.
If the result is NOT DELETED — COPYPOOLCOPY NOT SPECIFIED, a DELVOL command has been issued for a tape containing valid dump copies for one or more volumes defined to a copy pool. Deleting the volume would invalidate the set of dump tapes that comprise a backup version of the copy pool.
If the result is DELETED WITH AN UPDATING COPY POOL CDS ERROR, there was an error updating the copy pool CDS record after the dump volume was invalidated.
If the result is NOT DELETED —VOLUME IS PART OF THE LAST DUMP VERSION, a user has issued a DELVOL command without LASTCOPY specified and the dump volume is part of the last dump version for the copy pool.
If the result is NOT DELETED — ANOTHER DFSMShsm FUNCTION WAS PROCESSING THE COPY POOL, a user has issued a DELVOL command while another function is still processing the copy pool.
If the result is NOT DELETED — COPY POOL DUMP VOLUME, a user has issued a DELVOL command on a previous system other than the z/OS® V1R11 system for a dump volume from a copy pool version processed on a z/OS V1R11 or later system.
If a DELVOL command with the PURGE parameter is entered for a tape backup volume that contains active and valid backup versions, the control data set records associated with each valid version are updated or deleted so the valid versions are no longer recorded in the control data sets. If all valid versions are successfully processed, the records associated with the volume are deleted or updated and the message indicates the number of valid versions that have been deleted. If DFSMShsm encounters at least one error while deleting records associated with valid versions, the message will indicate NOT DELETED — ERROR REMOVING VALID DATA.
An external DELVOL command with the UNASSIGN parameter will cause the message to be issued. Either the MCV or MCT record, or both, and the TTOC record are kept (the base TTOC and the TTOC extensions are not changed).
If the result is MARKFULL INVALID, a DELVOL command with the MARKFULL parameter has been issued for a DASD volume. MARKFULL is only valid for tape. If the result is MARKFULL READERROR, DFSMShsm has been unable to read the volume record. If the result is NOT MARKEDFULL, a DELVOL command with the MARKFULL parameter has failed while attempting to update CDS records.
If the result is NOT DELETED - COPY POOL DUMP VOLUME, a DELVOL command has been issued on a pre z/OS V1R11 system for a dump volume from a copy pool version processed on a z/OS V1R11 or later system.
If the result is NOT DELETED - RETAINED BACKUP COPY EXISTS ON VOLUME, a DELVOL command was issued and DFSMShsm encountered a volume that might contain one or more retained backup versions for which RETAINDAYS was specified at the time of backup. Retained backup versions can only be DELVOLed on a z/OS V1R11 or later system.
DFSMShsm processing continues.
If the entry has not been defined in the control data set, examine the parameters and the volume serial number for errors. If the entry has not been deleted because of a control data set error, see the appropriate table under problem determination.
If the entry is not deleted because the volume contains the only dump copy, use the DELVOL command with the PURGE parameter to delete the dump volume.
If the DELVOL command failed because the PURGE option was not specified for a stacked dump volume, issue the LIST DUMPVOLUME(volser) command to find which dump copies are on the dump volume. If all copies can be deleted, reissue the DELVOL command with the PURGE option.
If the result is NOT DELETED--COPYPOOLCOPY NOT SPECIFIED, specify the keyword COPYPOOLCOPY if you want to delete a dump volser containing 2valid dump copies for volumes defined to a copy pool.
If the result is DELETED WITH AN UPDATING COPY POOL CDS ERROR, search problem reporting databases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center.
If the result is NOT DELETED — COPY POOL DUMP VOLUME, issue the DELVOL command from a z/OS V1R8 or later system.
If the result is NOT DELETED — VOLUME IS PART OF THE LAST DUMP VERSION, specify DELVOL command with LASTCOPY keyword.
if the result is NOT DELETED — ANOTHER DFSMSHSM FUNCTION WAS PROCESSING THE COPY POOL, issue DELVOL command after the current DFSMShsm copy pool function is complete.
Use LIST DVOL(volser) to figure out the source volser that the dump volume was dumped from and issue LIST PVOL(volser) BCDS to determine which copypool may be affected.
If the result is NOT DELETED - COPY POOL DUMP VOLUME, issue the DELVOL command from a z/OS V1R11 or later system.
If the result is NOT DELETED - BACKUP COPY WITH RETAINDAYS EXISTS ON VOLUME, reissue the DELVOL command on a z/OS V1R11 or later system.
