VSAM Cluster Recovery Only

The following notes pertain to VSAM cluster recovery only:

Clusters can be moved freely between ICF and non-ICF catalogs
When recovering suballocated (non-unique) VSAM clusters to a new volume, the user must predefine the VSAM space as desired. After this space is created, CA Disk will dynamically define (redefine) the VSAM clusters into it. Unique clusters will have their self-containing spaces defined automatically by CA Disk.
Predefined (preallocated) VSAM clusters are permitted only under certain conditions. See the previous discussion for detailed information.
TOCAT= specification — used to specify the name of a VSAM catalog in which the restored clusters are to be defined. For VSAM catalogs only, the named catalog must own the volume to which the clusters are being restored.
Note: This parameter is normally not needed, assuming that the master catalog contains the correct alias entries to cause it to select the proper catalog. If it does not, a STEPCAT should be provided, in which case this parameter still isn't needed.
CATALOGS=, DEFALIAS= and EXPORTF= parameters on the SELECT command pertain solely to the recovery of ICF catalogs.
