ARC0318I
NO PRIMARY VOLUME AVAILABLE FOR RECALL OF dsname

Explanation

During JES3 data set reservation, DFSMShsm was invoked because the data set dsname was migrated. DFSMShsm was evaluating the primary volumes that should be returned to JES3 and found no acceptable primary volumes with the required space management attributes. To determine why DFSMShsm could not find any volumes, examine the following parameters:
  • RECALL parameter of the SETSYS command
  • POOL parameter of the DEFINE command
  • AUTORECALL parameter of the ADDVOL command
  • Space management and backup device category attributes of the ADDVOL command

If the data set organization is BDAM, the data set must be recalled to a volume with the same device type from which it migrated unless the VOLUME or DAOPTION parameter of the HRECALL or RECALL command is used.

If the data set organization is not BDAM, one of the following conditions must exist:
  • The data set block size plus the data set key length is less than the track size of the candidate volume.
  • The candidate volume is the same device type as the device from which the data set migrated.
  • The candidate volume supports track overflow and the data set record indicates track overflow.

This message can also happen in a JES3 system if all the volumes in a user-defined pool are offline during DFSMShsm initialization (when the volumes are added and the pools defined). Even when the volumes are subsequently mounted, DFSMShsm cannot recall data sets to those volumes with valid data set reservation by JES3, although the volumes will appear in response to a QUERY command with the POOL parameter. Therefore, the message can indicate a DFSMShsm error that is caused by violation of an operational restriction.

System action

DFSMShsm processing continues, but no volumes are returned to JES3. JES3 fails data set reservation for any job requiring the migrated data set. If desired, the user can perform a command recall of the data set to any volume associated with the data set.

Programmer response

Examine the DFSMShsm parameters to ensure that they are correct for the volumes in the DFSMShsm pool associated with the data set.
