HSM Dump Skipped When Encrypting Backups



As many folks are encrypting dump tapes of the system before sending them
offsite, we use the IBM cheap solution of the IBM Encryption Facility
(5655P97) with the feature to encrypt HSM dump tapes which use DFdss.
Discovered at a recent DR exercise that one dump was missing and later
research showed it did not get dumped (missed the following message which
was buried on the HSM log).

DFSMShsm issue message: ARC0635I DUMP OF VOLUME SMPY02 NOT
PERFORMED, REASON=20.

We now have automation looking for that message and also have reported this
to IBM to determine why this only started happening when we implement the
IBM Encryption Facility. Anyone seeing this??? If I learn the answer, I will
report back.
