ARC0551I
CAUTION: THERE MAY BE DATA SETS REMAINING ON VOLUME volser

Explanation

At the end of processing a FREEVOL AGE(0) command, when the target level is level 2 DASD and there are multiple key ranges defined, this message appears to alert system personnel that data may still remain on the volume. When multiple key ranges are being used, the process is MCDS driven. Since the VTOC is not read, user data sets and backup copies are not encountered. This message will be followed by completion message ARC0523I.

System action

DFSMShsm processing continues.

Programmer response

Before removing the volume from the system, look at the data sets remaining on the volume to determine if any of them must be kept. LIST VTOC can be used to determine which data sets remain on the volume. The DFSMShsm LIST command can be used to determine which user data set images are in an SDSP if one exists on the volume. If any backup VTOC copy data sets are on a volume, issue a FREEVOL AGE(0) command with a target level of either level 1 DASD or level 2 tape. This will force the VTOC to process. All user data sets and backup copies will be counted and VTOC backup copies will be moved to other level 1 volumes. Any backup copies of user data sets will be moved the next time daily backup is run. System personnel must deal individually with any remaining user data sets on the volume that must be kept.
