For HSMS to be able to process an SM pubset, it has to be converted in two steps.
The SM pubset must be put under HSMS management. This is just as important in the case of the new, empty SM pubset, as in that of an SM pubset created by a conversion from other pubsets by SMPGEN. This is done using the HSMS statement CREATE-SM-PUBSET-PARAMETERS. This statement checks the status of the SM pubset and activates the “under HSMS control” attribute for the SM pubset. The statement CREATE-SM-PUBSET-PARAMETERS includes the following actions:
create the control and request files of the SM pubset
When an S1 storage level is required:
explicitly define a volume set of the SM pubset as S1 volume set.
or use *ALL-HSMS-CONTROLLED to define that all volume sets of the SM pubset can be used under HSMS control as extended S1 storage level (from HSMS V11.0 with parameter SAVE-FILE-PROCESSING=*HSMS-V10-COMPATIBLE and BS2000 OSD/BC V11.0A).
make the SM pubset’s Generic Catalog Facility available
create the system archives of the SM pubset for SM backup, SM migration and SF global or SM pubset archival
check and delete old HSMS SF definitions of the new SM pubset (if an SF pubset is being converted to an SM pubset under the same catalog ID)
Notes
If the S1 volume set provided is not suitable, the CREATE-SM-PUBSET-PARAMETERS statement is rejected.
Creation of a system archive is not mandatory.
It is possible to specify just a subset of the archive parameters. The default values are set up as described in the CREATE-SM-PUBSET-PARAMETERS statement. If you do not want these default values, the system archives can be set up later with the CREATE-ARCHIVE statement and changed with the MODIFY-SM-PUBSET-PARAMETERS statement.
If an error occurs during the installation of the archive, a warning message will appear, but otherwise the process will continue.
If the SM pubset contains no migrated files, the conversion is now complete.
If the SM pubset is created as a result of conversion of another pubset, and the SM pubset contains migrated files, or if existing archives of this SM pubset are to be used, then these archive directories must be combined and converted with DIRCONV.
A number of possible situations are explained below to illustrate the process of converting SM pubsets in various configurations.
