Re: ICF Catalogs on SMS managed volumes



---------------------------<snip>-------------------------
It might be better now, but back in the days of SLED, during our conversion to SMS we included the catalogs and had them on SMS managed disk. At the time, out MTBF for real 3390s was around a month. We lost a HDA containing a ICF Catalog. I asked DFHSM to recover the volumes and APPLYINCREMENTAL.

It was a disaster in itself. I spent the next week fixing catalog entries and moving all catalogs to non-SMS. I'd advise against SMS managed catalogs volumes :)
-------------------------<unsnip>----------------------------
I had a seperate job that was used ONLY to back up the catalogs and TMC, after all other backups were complete.
