Issue/Introduction



Why is my CA Disk backup job not processing SMS managed datasets?

Environment

Release:
Component: DISKOS

Resolution

To bypass SMS Storage Group or Management Class rules for dataset processing, specifying sysparms SMSSGBYP and SMSMCBYP will allow CA Disk to process those datasets.

When these sysparm are specified with a value of Y, and the user is a storage administrator (see sysparm SMSSTGAD), CA Disk processes a data set without regard for the SMS Storage group attributes or Management class associated with the data set. When specified with the default value of N, CA Disk honors the SMS Storage group and Management class attributes.
