Message OP0099
Volser xxxxxx was ejected during recovery processing.
Probable Cause
The library had a problem reading the volume’s label
during recovery.
Examine the volser label and correct the flaw.
Reinsert the volume into the convenience I/O station.
Message OP0100
A Read-Only status stacked volume xxxxxx has been
ejected. (VTS z)
Probable Cause
During a previous operation with the stacked volume,
the VTS controller encountered an unrecoverable error,
indicating that the media of the volume may be
damaged. During that operation, data was not recovered
fully, resulting in the job ending. The stacked volume
was placed in Read-Only status to limit use to recall of
other logical volumes only.
A field conversion of a 3590 B1A Tape Drive to a 3590
E1A Tape Drive or a 3590 E1A Tape Drive to a 3590 H1A
Tape Drive will have caused partially filled stacked
volumes to be placed in Read-Only status also.
On an hourly basis, the VTS controller determines
whether there are any stacked volumes in Read-Only
status and starts a process that moves the valid logical
volumes to other stacked volumes, then ejects the
stacked volume from the 3494 Tape Library. See message
OP0107 Logical volume xxxxxx was not fully recovered from
damaged stacked volume yyyyyy. (VTS z) for logical
volumes not recovered and not moved to other stacked
volumes.
1. Remove the cartridge from the convenience I/O
station.
2.
Notify your system administrator.
3.
If the cartridge is still within a warranty period and
damaged logical volumes are no longer needed,
return it to your supplier.
4. If damaged logical volumes must be recovered, call
your service representative.
5. When ejected, those partially filled stacked volumes
that were in Read-Only status as a result of a recent
3590 B1A Tape Drive to 3590 E1A Tape Drive
conversion or a 3590 E1A Tape Drive to 3590 H1A
Tape Drive conversion may be inserted into the
library for VTS scratch stacked volume usage.
Consult your service representative for a list of these
stacked volumes.
Message OP0101
* A VTS is out of empty stacked volumes. (VTS z)
Probable Cause
There are two ways to determine this condition:
v
Once an hour the VTS checks if there are empty
stacked volumes. During that check, VTS z did not
have any empty stacked volumes.
v An operation that requires an empty stacked volume
needs to be performed, and VTS z does not have an
empty stacked volume. The operations that need
empty stacked volumes are copying data from the tape
volume cache or reclamation of unusable space on
stacked volumes.
Insert one or more 3590 or 3592 cartridges that have
volume serial numbers within the range of stacked
volumes defined for VTS z.
Note:
1. When the VTS is out of empty stacked volumes,
logical mount requests are queued but not performed.
Queued logical mounts are performed when a
stacked volume has been inserted.
2. This condition cannot be closed by selecting it from
the list of actions. Instead, the 3590 E1A Tape Drive
to 3590 H1A Tape Drive clears this condition
automatically when stacked volumes are added for
the VTS.
