DATASSETSIZE(dssize)<br />

This specifies the minimum size, in K bytes, <strong>of</strong> the data set for which an ML1 OVERFLOW<br />

volume is preferred for migration or backup. This includes invoking inline backup, the HBACKDS<br />

or BACKDS commands, or the ARCHBACK macro.<br />

This parameter has the same meaning when applied to SMS-managed or<br />

non-SMS-managed DASD volumes or data sets. The SETSYS default is 2000000 K bytes.<br />

The DFSMShsm default, if you do not specify this parameter on any SETSYS command, will<br />

use the value <strong>of</strong> 2000000 K bytes. If the calculated size <strong>of</strong> a data set being backed up or<br />

migrated is equal to or greater than dssize, then DFSMShsm prefers the OVERFLOW ML1<br />

volume with the least amount <strong>of</strong> free space that still has enough remaining space for the<br />

data set.<br />

If the calculated size <strong>of</strong> the data set is less than the minimum size specified in dssize, then<br />

DFSMShsm prefers the NOOVERFLOW ML1 volume with the maximum amount <strong>of</strong> free<br />

space and least number <strong>of</strong> users.<br />

OVERFLOW and NOOVERFLOW volumes<br />

DFSMShsm can create backup copies to either ML1 backup OVERFLOW volumes or<br />

NOOVERFLOW volumes. Use the SETSYS ML1OVERFLOW(DATASETSIZE(dssize)) command to<br />

specify the minimum size in K bytes (where K=1024) <strong>of</strong> the data set for which an ML1<br />

OVERFLOW volume is preferred for the migration or backup copy.<br />

For data sets smaller than 58 K tracks, DFSMShsm allocates a basic sequential format data<br />

set for the backup copy. For data sets larger than 58 K tracks, DFSMShsm allocates a large<br />

format sequential data set for the backup copy.<br />

Basic or large format sequential data sets will prefer OVERFLOW or NOOVERFLOW<br />

volumes based on the SETSYS ML1OVERFLOW(DATASETSIZE(dssize)) value. If there is<br />

not enough free space on the NOOVERFLOW or OVERFLOW volume for a particular backup<br />

copy, then DFSMShsm tries to create the backup on a OVERFLOW or NOOVERFLOW<br />

volume, respectively. If the data set is too large to fit on a single ML1 volume (OVERFLOW or<br />

NOOVERFLOW), then the migration or backup fails.<br />
