Re: DFHSM QUESTION : ATTEMPTING TO FIND MIGRAT2 VOLSER

If HSM logs are being retained, they also contain similar information. Another possibility is to restore a backup of the MCDS either under a different name or on a test system from a time when the ds was still on ML2 and find the record corresponding to the dataset.

Also, see discussion of OA20117, OA20907, and "DFDSS Data Loss" that went on in 2007 on IBM-main. If you have DFSMShsm FSM (Fast Subsequent Migration) enabled and have ever moved volumes with dss DUMP FULL, RESTORE FULL before implementing the patch in OA20907 (2007-10-06), you have been exposed to data loss on restored volumes in the form of failure to physically migrate a changed dataset under the assumption a back-level version on ML2 was identical. Prior to OA20907 dss unconditionally reset the DS1DSCHA "change bits" on all datasets on a volume restored with RESTORE FULL, resulting in DFSMShsm FSM making an erroneous assumption about currency of ML2 data and causing a loss of data.

You can look at the FSR record (type 5) in SMF and it'll have the info. Also you should look at the archive because there was a lot of discussion about corrupted restores, not recall, as best as I can remember. Sometimes users mix up restore and recall..
