MODIFY command failed; LSM lock not available
Explanation
: The LSM lock is a software construct used to serialize changes to the state of an LSM. There is one LSM lock for each LSM defined in the LIBGEN.
The LSM lock is held by the HSC ”MODify lsm” command during ONLINE/OFFLINE processing, and by the Configuration Control initialization task during HSC subsystem startup.
Message SLS0017I is issued when another MODify command for the same LSM is already in process, either on this host or on some other host in the system. The previous MODify command may be active, or it may be queued waiting for the LSM to become ready.
This message may also be issued if Configuration Control initialization is in process on another host in the system.
System Action
: The command is not executed.
User Response
: Wait a few seconds for any queued commands to complete, or for HSC subsystem initialization to complete on any other hosts in the system, and then reissue the command.
If the problem persists, issue the HSC Display Request command. If the command output indicates any requests with a type of ”Vary lsm” and a status of ”WAITING” or ”TEMP OUT”, there may be a hardware problem with the LSM. Investigate the LSM to ensure that it is in a ready state and communicating with HSC.
If the hardware problem cannot be corrected immediately, you may need to issue the HSC command ”MODify lsm OFFline FORCE”. After the hardware problem has been corrected, you may issue another MODify command to bring the LSM online.
Following a MODify lsm OFFline FORCE command, message SLS0057I may be displayed, indicating return code 45344534 from SLSFCONF. This message is issued because the LSM lock held by an active or queued MODify command was ”stolen” by the MODify FORCE command; the message may be ignored.
Note:
Use the MODify lsm OFFline FORCE command with extreme caution. If an LSM is forced offline, all outstanding requests to the LSM are purged, and the LSM may need to be IMLed.Invalid keyword
CCCCCCCC1

CCCCCCCC1
co-requisite
CCCCCCCC2
missing for
CCCCCCCC3
command
Explanation
: A parameter (CCCCCCCC1) co-requisite with another parameter (CCCCCCCC2) was not entered on the CCCCCCCC3 command.
System Action
: The command is not executed.
User Response
: Re-enter the command with the correct co-requisite parameters.
Value for
CCCCCCCC1
parameter contained invalid data for
CCCCCCCC2
command
Explanation
: The value entered for the parameter (CCCCCCCC1) was invalid or contained a syntax error for the CCCCCCCC2 command.
One common syntax error is text enclosed within apostrophes or parentheses where either the opening or closing apostrophe/parenthesis is missing or mispositioned.
A value specification error may be usage of the wrong character type, such as specifying a HEX value where a decimal value is required. Another may be that an invalid delimiter was specified, such as a library address where periods are used to delimit location rather than the colon, as required.
System Action
: The command is not executed.
User Response
: Re-enter the command with the correct value or syntax.
Invalid value length for
CCCCCCCC1
parameter on the
CCCCCCCC2
command
Explanation
: The value entered for this parameter (CCCCCCCC1) exceeded its length specification for the CCCCCCCC2 command.
System Action

System Action
: The command may not be executed in some cases. In other cases, the command is executed, ignoring the invalid portion.
User Response
: Re-enter the command specifying a valid range where the second element is greater than the first; and, if a CAP range, neither CAPid specifies a PCAP
EJECT volser
volser
ignored; volume is {SELECTED|ERRANT|NOT FOUND|NOT IN ACS|IN OFFLINE LSM|INVALID}
Explanation
: An EJect command was entered for a volume which was SELECTED|ERRANT|NOT FOUND|NOT IN ACS|IN OFFLINE LSM|INVALID and could not be recovered.
SELECTED indicates that the volume was in use when an eject was attempted, e.g. the volume could have been mounted. If the volume is erroneously selected, run the UNSElect utility prior to re-entering the command.
ERRANT indicates that a volume was being moved from one location to another when an error occurred. The location of the volume is unknown. Since the volume was errant, it may be necessary to take other actions such as (1) running an audit against the cell location, (2) checking the CAP and previous MVS SYSLOGs/SCP CONSLOGs to find reasons for the volume becoming errant, (3) investigating the various locations with the VIew command relating to the actions being taken.
NOT FOUND indicates that the volume does not reside within any LSM. Check other non-library storage locations.
NOT in ACS indicates that the volume does not reside in the same ACS as the CAP. Enter an EJect command specifying a CAP in appropriate ACS. Determine the location of the volume by using the Display Volume command.
OFFLINE LSM indicates that the volume resides in an LSM that is offline.
INVALID indicates that the volume has an invalid volume serial label or media label. The eject continues.
System Action
: An INVALID volume is ejected. For all other conditions, the volume is not ejected.
User Response
: If the volume is:
SELECTED, wait until volume becomes unselected, and re-enter the command.
ERRANT, invoke errant recovery to locate the volume, and re-enter the command.
NOT FOUND, no response.
NOT in ACS, determine what ACS contains the volume, and re-enter the EJect command specifying the correct CAPid.
OFFLINE LSM, bring the LSM online, and re-enter the command
INVALID, no response.

CCCCCCCC
command in progress; to continue termination reply DRAIN, else reply WAIT
Explanation
: Operator command termination discovered one or more active tasks using a CAP. These were identified in previous SLS2628E messages. You can reply DRAIN to cause HSC to DRAIN all these tasks immediately, or WAIT to allow them to finish normally.
If you respond WAIT, this message reappears in three minutes, along with SLS2628E messages describing tasks still active. If you respond DRAIN, HSC acts as if you had entered a DRAin command for each task. SLS2628E messages describing active tasks appear every three minutes, but no more SLS0031D messages are issued.
An EJect stops after processing the current tape for each CAP, and the task ends once the CAPs are opened, emptied and closed. An ENter stops only when it has processed all cartridges in the CAP.
System Action
: The task waits for you to reply DRAIN or WAIT.
User Response
: Issue a Display Status command to determine any outstanding actions. Reply DRAIN or WAIT.

Dismount of
volser
from {DRIVE
XXXX
|DRIVEID
AA:LL:PP:NN
} - drive has loaded cartridge; reply Dismount, Retry or Ignore (D/R/I)
Explanation
: A request was made to dismount a volume. However, the volume has not been rewound and unloaded.
System Action
: The dismount waits for you to reply either "D" (dismount), "R" (retry), or "I" (ignore), or for the drive to be rewound and unloaded.
User Response
: Wait for the rewind and unload to complete or reply with one of the following:
D, if the volume is to be rewound and unloaded.
R, if the dismount is to be retried without forcing the rewind.
I, if the request is to be ignored.
Replying ”D” can cause intervention required messages for the transport and cause jobs to abend if the transport is in use. In MVS, you must issue an UNLOAD command for the transport; and if it is online, the UNLOAD command delays unloading the device until it is no longer allocated. In VM, if the device is ATTACHed to the tape management virtual machine (such as VMTAPE), reply ”D”. If the device is not ATTACHed to any virtual machine, you should attempt to ATTACH the device to some virtual machine and then DETACH it which unloads the tape. If the transport is assigned to another system, the ATTACH fails.
Replying ”R” reissues the dismount request without first attempting to rewind the volume.
Replying ”I” allows the mounted cartridge to stay on the transport. In MVS, if the system wants to use the mounted cartridge, the transport is allocated without a mount request. If the transport is required for a different cartridge, a dismount request is followed by a new mount request. In VM, if the device is ATTACHed to a virtual machine other than the tape management system, it is unloaded when it is DETACHed.

If this is an ”active” audit (APPly(YES) specified or defaulted), the volume record is updated if the volume is found in the cell scan phase.
System Action
: If APPly(YES) is specified and the volume is found during the LSM cell scan phase, the volume is removed from the errant set.
User Response
: If the volume cannot be found, display the volume to determine its last known location. Use the VIew command to examine the last known location. If the volume still cannot be found inside the library, examine MVS SYSLOG/SCP CONSLOG and SMF data to determine if the volume was ejected or manually mounted and taken out of the ACS. Increase the scope of the audit.
Audited volume
volser
has a cell index mismatch
Explanation
: A SLUADMIN AUDIt utility has discovered a volume record in the control data set that has a home location in an audited library element, but the cell index for that location reflects a different or no volume serial number. If this is an ”active” audit (APPly(YES) specified or defaulted), the cell index record is updated if it reflects no volume serial number, the volume serial number contained does not exist, or the volume record has a different home location.
System Action
: The cell index portion of the control data set will be updated if APPly(YES) is specified.
User Response
: If APPly(NO) is specified, a cell index mismatch occurs which can only be fixed if audited or if the volume actually in the cell is ejected or floated out of the LSM. Executing a location (specify ACS or LSM parameters) volume report will show the cell index mismatch.
Audited volume
volser
is errant (lost) and has a cell index mismatch
Explanation
: A SLUADMIN AUDIt utility has discovered a volume record in the control data set that is marked errant (lost) and the cell index for its home location reflected a different or no volume serial number. If this is an ”active” audit (APPly(YES) specified or defaulted), the cell index record is updated if it reflects no volume serial number, the volume serial number contained does not exist, or the volume record has a different home location. Also, if the volume is located in the cell scan phase of the audit, the control data set is updated and the volume made non-errant.
System Action
: The cell index is updated if active audit. If the volume is found during the LSM cell scan and this is an active audit, the volume is removed from errant state.
User Response
: If the volume cannot be found, attempt to increase the scope of the audit. If the volume still cannot be found, examine MVS SYSLOG/SCP CONSLOG and SMF data to determine when the volume was ejected or manually mounted.

AA
|station
C...C
} online
Explanation
: A Configuration Control function received an error from the LMU driver (return code = XXXXXXXX) when attempting to vary station (device address C...C)|ACS AA online.
System Action
: The Configuration Control function is aborted. This may cause other higher level functions to be aborted as well.
User Response
: Examine MVS SYSLOG for LMU I/O errors which occurred during the same time frame to determine if it is an LMU device error, or a software problem. For an LMU error X'6559', there is an ACS switch in progress on another host. Wait for the switch to complete on the other host and then vary the ACS online. If a software problem is suspected, contact StorageTek Software Support.
LMU error

LSM
AA:LL
not selected - Lock held by host
CCCCCCCC
Explanation
: HSC was attempting to bring LSM AA:LL online (either during initialization or because of a "MODify LSM
AA:LL ONline
" operator command). Exclusive control of the LSM record in the CDS could not be obtained because the record was locked by the HSC running on host CCCCCCCC.
System Action
: Although the LSM will be brought online, some configuration validation is skipped. Particularly, tape drive types may not be recognized, and will be assigned to the default type. This can have negative results for allocation or RTD usage. Operator intervention will be required to remedy the situation.
User Response
: First, determine whether the HSC host CCCCCCCC is active. In the unlikely event of that HSC having been in initialization at exactly the same moment, then the problem was transient. To recover, modify LSM AA:LL offline and then back online.
MODify LSM AA:LL OFFline MODify LSM AA:LL ONline
If HSC host CCCCCCCC is not active, or your attempt to modify the LSM offline fails, then you must Force the LSM offline before modifying it back online.
MODify LSM AA:LL OFFline FORCE MODify LSM AA:LL ONline
Once the LSM is back online, you may issue a Display Drives command to verify that all drives have been detected and configured.
LSM
AA:LL
mismatch: LMU value
T
- CDS value
T
Explanation
: The Configuration Control verification function detected a mismatch between the LSM configuration defined in the LMU and that found in the control data set for LSM AA:LL. Each T will be replaced by one of the following values:
X - the LSM is defined as a 4410 or 9310
3 - the LSM is defined as a 9360
6 - the LSM is defined as a 9740
7 - the LSM is defined as a SL8500
8 - the LSM is defined as a SL3000
. - the LSM is not defined
System Action
: Configuration Control verification continues in order to report on all mismatches. The HSC remains up, but the station (LMU) will stay offline.
User Response
: A comparison of the two status lines shows where the differences in LSM configurations are. Based on the actual physical configuration, (1) change the LIBGEN parameters to correspond to the LMU configuration and regenerate the control data set with another LIBGEN or (2) have the StorageTek CSE change the LMU configuration to match the LIBGEN parameters.

Home cell: AA:LL:PP:RR:CC Scratch: {YES|NO} Selected: {YES|NO} <Mounted: drive DDDD|driveid AA:LL:PP:NN}> <Owning host: CCCCCCCC> External label: {YES|NO} <Label readable: {YES|NO}> Inserted: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS Last selected: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS Select count: DDDD Media type: MMMMMMMM Rectech: RRRRRRRR Media Label: LLLLLLLL Media Match: {YES|NO|VOLATTR Only|Label Only|Undefined} Warranty Life: NNN%|UNKNOWN} <Not eligible for SCRATCH>
Explanation
: A Display Volume command with the DETail operand was issued for volume volser. All available information about the volume is displayed in a multi-line WTO.
In the ”home cell” line, AA is the ACSid, LL is the LSMid, PP is the panel number in decimal, RR is the row number in decimal, and CC is the column number in decimal.
The "Mounted" line is displayed only if the volume is mounted. Drive DDDD|driveid AA:LL:PP:NN indicates the drive on which the volume is mounted.
The ”Owning host” (CCCCCCCC) line is displayed only if the volume is selected.
The ”Label readable” line is displayed only if the volume has an external label.
The ”Inserted” and ”Last Selected” lines respectively show the date and time at which the volume entered the library and was last selected. The date is in YYYY-MM-DD format.
MMMMMMMM and RRRRRRRR are the media type and recording technique of the volume. LLLLLLLL indicates if the media type on the external label was readable or not. The value N/A, not applicable, appears if the media value shown was not read from the LMU.
The Media Match values indicate how the Media-type value was determined for the volume:
YES
The LMU read a media label, and there is a VOLATTR/VOLPARM defined for the volume. The media label and VOLATTR/VOLPARM agree with respect to the media type.
NO
The LMU read a media label, and there is a VOLATTR/VOLPARM defined for the volume. The media label and VOLATTR/VOLPARM do not agree with respect to the media type.
VOLATTR Only
A VOLATTR/VOLPARM exists for the volume, but the LMU has not determined the media type. This is valid when a VOLATTR/VOLPARM is defined for a volume outside the library.
Label Only
The LMU has determined the media type, but no VOLATTR/VOLPARM exists for the volume.
Undefined
The LMU has not determined the media type, and no VOLATTR/VOLPARM exists for the volume.
A value of ”No”, ”Label Only”, or ”Undefined” indicates an error in VOLATTR/VOLPARM statements. A value of ”VOLATTR Only” for a volume inside the library also indicates an error in the VOLATTR/VOLPARM statements. Either condition can cause invalid scratch counts to occur for the Display SCRatch command.
”Not usable” indicates a non-authorized request attempted to mount a cleaning cartridge or diagnostic cartridge.
The "Warranty Life" is a percentage value that is obtained at volume dismount for tape libraries at LMU compatibility level 21 or above. "Unknown" is displayed for volumes that reside in unsupported libraries or for volumes that have not been dismounted after applying the MWL support.
The ”Not eligible for SCRATCH” is displayed if the volume is a VSM MVC and is an indication that the volume cannot be scratched.

Explanation
: A Display Volume command was issued for volume volser. The volume was found to be errant. The last known locations of the volume are listed. In the volume location lines, AA is the ACSid, LL is the LSMid, PP is the panel number in decimal, RR is the row number in decimal, CC is the column number in decimal, NN is the drive number in decimal, and XXXX is a device unit address. The ”owning host” line is only displayed if the volume is selected. The ”Lost in” line is only displayed if the volume is lost in an LSM.
System Action
: The volume continues to be errant until processed by errant recovery or logically ejected from the library.
User Response
: Invoke errant recovery for the volume. Some methods that can be used to invoke errant recovery are mounting the volume or modifying the LSM online.

The LSM is now online, but CAP CC is not active. The LMU thinks that this host owns it, and SLSLCLSM failed three times in trying to release it.
Is Online, But Carts. In Motion Not Resolved.
The LSM is now online, but SLSLCLSM failed three times in trying to read the in-transit set. There may still be cartridges lost in this LSM.
System Action
: The system takes no immediate action, but errant recovery may be automatically invoked later for cartridges not found in their home cells.
User Response
: Depends on the variable portion of the message text. If the text for CCC...CCC reads:
Try MODIFY Again ...
then either open and close the LSM door or MODify lsm ONline. If that fails, has already failed, or yields LSM Lock Not Available, then MODify lsm OFFline (possibly FORCE) and MODify lsm ONline are necessary, assuming that the hardware is working.
Is Online, But ...
The LSM is online but either the CAP was not properly reinitialized or we could not read the in-transit set. Errant recovery may automatically locate the unrecovered volumes. It does not have to be scheduled immediately, but the operator should eventually get the LSM offline and online again without any errors.

Attempting to locate errant volume
volser
Explanation
: The HSC had marked a volume as being errant because it was no longer certain of its location. This is due to many causes. These include modifying the LSM offline, cancelling the HSC, or an error occurring in the LMU or LSM. The HSC is now attempting to locate the volume, and issues this message.
System Action
: Processing continues. The message will be DOMed when the location processing is complete.
If the HSC is reasonably sure the volume is not in the ACS, a message will be issued to allow the volume to be deleted from the control data set.
Note:
The message will NOT be issued if the HSC is unable to scan locations where the volume might be. For example, if the volume could be in an offline LSM, or on a loaded drive, and the volume could not be located elsewhere, the message will not be issued.User Response

If the drive has completed the rewind and unload process, reply R to retry the dismount.
If the volume is known to be on the drive and not allocated to a job on any processor, reply D to force the dismount.
If the drive is in use, reply I to this message, and let the job finish processing the volume on the drive.
If the drive cannot be unloaded due to a malfunction, place the drive offline, contact StorageTek Hardware Support and reply I to this message.
Note:
If the volume is not on the drive, reply I. This causes the HSC to discontinue the current errant recovery attempt for the volume, leaving it errant. This reply has no lasting effect. This message will be reissued by future errant recovery attempts as long as the drive is loaded and the volume is presumed to be on the drive.Errant recovery of
volser
- an audit of the locations associated with the volume may be required
Explanation
: In attempting to locate errant volume volser, a scan of the errant locations could not resolve the location of the volume. Errant recovery found the same OCR readable volser at two locations, or both locations had unreadable volsers.
System Action

The HSC task name does not match a subsystem name or the SSYS keyword was not provided
Explanation
: During initialization a subsystem name must match either the startup procedure name or the PARM=”SSYS(CCCC)” definition in the startup procedure. CCCC is a one to four character subsystem name.
If the SSYS parameter is specified, the HSC uses the SSYS parameter value to search for a subsystem name that matches the value. If the SSYS parameter is not specified, the HSC uses the startup procedure name (started task name) for the search.
In MVS, the subsystem name is defined in IEFSSNxx. In VM, the startup procedure is the HSC startup SLKJCL file. The LIBSUBSYS parameter value in the system profile (SYSPROF) must match the jobname in the HSC startup SLKJCL file, or the SSYS parameter value must match the LIBSUBSYS parameter value.
System Action
: The HSC terminates.
User Response
: Supply the correct subsystem name or job name, and restart the HSC.
Pre-initialization complete

: A corrupted CDS block (blk-id) has been found when comparing the Primary and Secondary CDS copies.
System Action
: The correct copy replaces the incorrect copy.
User Response
: None
CCC...CCC
is being copied to
CCC...CCC
Explanation
: A CDS data set is being enabled by copying the records from an existing CDS. This could be the result of a CDs Enable command issued on this host, or this host has recognized a new CDS that was enabled by another host. SLS1704I should follow this message when the copy process is finished. SLS0715I should follow when all active hosts in a multi-host environment have completed synchronization.
System Action
: The CDS reserve is held at this time and will be released when the copy completes. HSC activity waits until all hosts synchronize to the new CDS configuration.
Note:
If after about 20 seconds, all hosts have not complied, the configuration reverts back to what it was before the copy, i.e., an enabled CDS will be disabled, or a disabled CDS may be re-enabled.User Response
: None
CDS copy complete for
CCC...CCC
Explanation
: Message SLS1703I should precede SLS1704I. A CDS synchronization has occurred for the named CDS and is now complete. The newly enabled CDS data set has had its data refreshed from an active CDS.
System Action
: The HSC resumes normal activity using the new CDS allocations.
User Response
: None
All Control Data Set allocations failed, HSC cannot initialize
Explanation
: Dynamic allocation for ALL data sets specified in the PARMLIB CDSDEF (or RECDEF if this is Reconfig) entry have failed.
System Action
: The HSC cannot initialize without at least one copy of the CDS.
User Response
: The error may have been caused by a missing or invalid PARMLIB entry. Check the MVS SYSLOG/SCP CONSLOG to determine the dynamic allocation failure(s) from message SLS1706E, if present. Correct the problem, and re-start the HSC.
Allocation failed for
CCC...CCC
on volume
volser
, reason code
XXXX
, information code
XXXX
Explanation
: Dynamic Allocation failed for the specified data set on the specified volume. If no volume was specified, it will be blank or asterisks.
System Action
: If this is during startup, HSC Initialization continues, but the data set is not allocated. If this is from a CDs Enable command, the HSC continues operation with the current CDS definitions.
The reason and information codes are from SVC99 (Dynamic allocation). One of the most common reason codes is 17xx indicating that the named CDS could not be found. Refer to the IBM SVC99 dynamic allocation documentation for further details and reason code definitions.
If the reason code is not 17xx, the information code may contain a key that provides more specific information about the cause of the error. Use the following keys to determine which parameter is in error:
01 - Field: DDname
02 - Field: Dsn
04 - Field: Status
07 - Field: Unconditional Unallocation
10 - Field: Volser
15 - Field: Unit
55 - Field: Return DDname
User Response
: Determine the cause of the dynamic allocation failures from the error messages presented. If this is during startup, correct the problem in PARMLIB or JCL and restart the HSC. If this is from a CDs Enable command, correct the specification of the DSn parameter, or for uncataloged data sets specify the NEWVol and possibly the NEWUnit parameters.
CCCCCCCC

Standby CDS
CCC...CCC
disabled due to "DISABLE" parameter in the CDSDEF PARMLIB command
Explanation
: The user specified DISABLE on the CDSDEF statement when defining the standby CDS (DSN3) to the system.
System Action
: An attempt is made to read that CDS copy to ensure it is a valid CDS; then it is made inactive and de-allocated.
User Response
: Should this CDS be needed, the HSC will NOT automatically use it in the case of a CDS switch or disable of either the primary or secondary CDS. You must manually enable it for use with the CDs Enable operator command.
CDS
CCC...CCC
disabled, not in use by other hosts
Explanation
: In order to prevent CDS corruption and mismatches, the named CDS copy was disabled because it was not being used by other active hosts.
System Action
: The CDS is disabled and unallocated from this HSC.
User Response
: If you wish to utilize that CDS copy, use the CDs Enable operator command to bring the copy online.
CDS
CCC...CCC
disabling due to operator command
Explanation
: CDS CCC...CCC will be unallocated due to an operator CDs Disable command.
System Action
: The CDS is disabled and unallocated from this HSC.
User Response
: If you wish to utilize that CDS copy, use the CDs Enable operator command to bring the copy online.
Database {switch|expand} not adopted by active host
CCCCCCCC
Explanation
: After a successful CDS switch or expand, another active host failed to recognize the CDS change within a reasonable amount of time.
System Action
: The issuing host continues with operations. This host may revert to a more restrictive CDS configuration.
User Response
: If the HSC has been terminated precipitously on another host, it may appear active to other hosts. Verify if the other host has terminated. If it has, either recycle it or run SLUADMIN (SET HSCLEVEL) to reset it. If CDS Enable, Disable, or EXpand commands are entered simultaneously on multiple hosts, this message may appear on one or more of those hosts when it should not. If this occurs, use the Display CDS command to verify the CDS configuration. If it is correct, no further action is required. If all hosts are active or if the CDS configuration is incorrect when commands are entered from multiple hosts, there is an internal problem. In MVS, issue the MVS DUMP operator command against that host then recycle it. In VM, issue the CP VMDUMP command on the virtual machine of that host then recycle it. Collect the dump, MVS SYSLOG/SCP CONSLOG, and LOGREC/EREP data for problem determination, and contact StorageTek Software Support.
CDS
CCC...CCC
disabled, not in use at prior HSC termination
Explanation
: CDS CCC...CCC was disabled at initialization because it was not in use when the HSC was last terminated.
System Action
: The CDS is disabled and unallocated from this HSC.
User Response
: To utilize this CDS copy, enter the CDs Enable command to bring the CDS online.
CDS
CCC...CCC
enabled, in use by other hosts
Explanation
: It was determined that CDS CCC...CCC was disabled to this host and active to other hosts. This was the result of an operator CDs Enable command issued on another host. The CDS data set has been enabled for use by this host.
System Action
: Enabling of the CDS on this host is automatic.

Explanation
: While parsing the PARMLIB entry, an invalid command (CCCCCCCC1) was found on the specified PARMLIB statement (CCCCCCCC2).
System Action
: The HSC initialization fails.
User Response
: Correct the failing entry for the specified statement, and re-start the HSC.
Command parsed with no keywords
Explanation
: While parsing a PARMLIB entry, a command was found that contained no keywords.
System Action
: The HSC initialization fails.
User Response
: Correct the PARMLIB command entry and re-start the HSC.
Invalid data set type (X) for dynamic allocation
Explanation
: While parsing a PARMLIB entry, a command was found that contained no keywords.
System Action
: The HSC initialization fails.
User Response
: Correct the PARMLIB command entry, and restart the HSC.
The last copy of the CDS is in error; the HSC cannot continue
Explanation
: Due to errors, the last remaining copy of the CDS was lost.
System Action
: The HSC will not continue to run.
User Response
: Look for previous messages which should explain why the CDS was lost. Correct these problems, and re-start the HSC. If you are unable to correct the problems, obtain a current copy of the MVS SYSLOG/SCP CONSLOG and/or the HSC job log. Also, IEBGENER dump a copy of each CDS used by the job, prior to any re-start attempts, to show their current state. Contact StorageTek Software Support.
Invalid return code from SLSDCOPY
Explanation
: Internal error. During a switch to the Standby CDS, SLSDCOPY returned an unknown return code.
System Action
: The copy operation terminates. The HSC continues to run if there is at least one good copy of the CDS. If not, the HSC terminates.
User Response
: Attempt to restart the HSC. If an HSC is still running on another host, the restart should work. If restart does not work, it could be because all copies of the CDS are determined to be invalid. Obtain a current copy of the MVS SYSLOG/SCP CONSLOG and/or the HSC job log and a copy of all CDSs along with any system dumps that have been taken. Contact StorageTek Software Support.
Host-to-Host Communications registration failed, RC=
XXXX
Explanation
: An attempt to register for host-to-host communications failed. The return code is from the communications component.
System Action
: Any communications between this host and any other active host in a multi-host environment will be through the CDS.
User Response
: Look up the return code and follow the instructions. If unable to solve the problem, obtain a current copy of the MVS SYSLOG/SCP CONSLOG and/or the HSC job log along with any system dumps that have been taken. Contact StorageTek Software Support.
Hostid required for JRNDEF PARMLIB entry
Explanation
: A JRNDEF statement found in PARMLIB did not contain a HOSTID parameter.
System Action
: Since the system does not know which host owns those journal files and journaling was requested, the system will not come up.
User Response
: Add the HOSTID parameter to the JRNDEF statement for the proper host.
Duplicate CDS names specified on CDSDEF command
Explanation
: At least two DSNx parameters of the CDSDEF command specified the same data set name.
System Action
: HSC initialization stops.
User Response
: Correct the CDSDEF DSNx parameters.
No journal files available
Explanation
: The HSC lost the last valid journal file for this host.
System Action
: If the JRNDEF parameter FULL was set to Abend (the default), the journal task and the HSC will abend. If the JRNDEF parameter FULL was set to Continue, the journal task will quiesce and the HSC will continue without journals.
User Response
: At this point, NO journal files are valid for any host. Also, any offloaded journal files will be invalid. You should take an immediate backup of the HSC system. The reason ”no files available” should be investigated. If the message is issued because the journal files filled up, the backup will reset them and journaling will continue automatically. If the message is issued because of an I/O error on the file, re-allocate that file and re-cycle the HSC. A backup should be taken as soon as that HSC is available again. If you cannot determine why this happened, notify StorageTek Software Support.
None of the Control Data Set copies is a valid primary CDS; processing terminated
Explanation
: At HSC initialization, the subsystem attempts to open and read all CDS data sets specified by the CDSDEF parameter. At utility initialization, the utility attempts to open and read all CDS data sets specified in the JCL. The best CDS copy was not a primary or secondary CDS when it was last used and it has not been restored since, and thus it is not a valid primary CDS.
System Action
:
If the message is issued by the HSC subsystem, the subsystem terminates.
If the message is issued by a utility, the utility ends with a return code of 8.
User Response
: Review the CDSDEF PARMLIB control statement or utility JCL to determine if incorrect data set names were specified.
If the right data sets were specified, use the HSC BACKup utility to select and backup the most current CDS copy followed by an HSC RESTore to synchronize all CDS copies. When starting the HSC after a BACKup and RESTore, ensure that the order of the CDS copies is correct in the CDSDEF parameter.
When executing a HSC utility after a BACKup and RESTore, ensure that the SLSCNTL, SLSCNTL2 and SLSSTBY data set names are specified in the correct order.
The CDS copies appear to belong to separate library environments; processing terminated
Explanation
: Based on the CDS data set information in the DHB, the data sets specified by the CDSDEF parameter or utility JCL do not appear to belong to a single library environment. Specific reasons for this are:
The CDS copies appear to belong to separate library environments or are the result of multiple HSCs running on separate hosts after a remote link was lost. The procedure for merging the separate control data sets was not followed after the link was restored.
The CDS copy with the highest shadow sequence number is not a valid primary CDS copy. This might be the former standby CDS copy after a reconfig.
System Action
:
If the message is issued by the HSC subsystem, initialization terminates.
If the message is issued by a utility, the utility ends with a return code of 8.
User Response
: Review the CDSDEF PARMLIB control statement or utility JCL to determine if incorrect data set names were specified.
If the correct data sets were specified, use the HSC BACKup utility to select and backup the most current CDS copy followed by an HSC RESTore to synchronize all CDS copies. When starting the HSC after a BACKup and RESTore, ensure that the order of the CDS copies is correct in the CDSDEF parameter.
When executing a HSC utility after a BACKup and RESTore, ensure that the SLSCNTL, SLSCNTL2 and SLSSTBY data set names are specified in the correct order.
The number of CDS copies specified does not match the recovery technique of {NONE|SHADOW|STANDBY}
Explanation
: A utility attempting to update the CDS or the HSC subsystem is being run with a CDS that has not been successfully initialized by the HSC subsystem. The recovery technique for the CDS designated as the primary specifies a different number of CDS copies than were specified.
For example, the recovery technique specifies STANDBY but less than 3 CDS data sets were specified, or the recovery technique specifies NONE but more than one CDS copy was specified. The reported recovery technique does not include journaling, if specified.
System Action
:
If the message is issued by the HSC subsystem, the subsystem terminates.
If the message is issued by a utility, the utility ends with RC=8.
User Response
: Review the recovery technique listed in the message to determine if it is the desired technique. To change the recovery technique, execute the HSC SET TCHNIQE utility command, providing a number of CDS DD statements equal to the original technique, not the one specified by the SET.
In order to execute this utility, HSC must not be active on any host. After executing the utility, if you are increasing the number of CDS copies, you can use any operating system utility to create additional copies of the primary CDS.
If the recovery technique specified in the message is the desired technique, then specify the correct number of CDS copies in the CDSDEF command for subsystem initialization or the utility JCL to execute a utility.
Log data sets are full - run OFFLOAD LOGFILE
Explanation
: The logging system was unable to write a log record because there are no free data blocks in the log file(s).
System Action
: Logging is suspended on the host that issued the message until the OFFLOAD LOGFILE utility is run.
Note:
Because of the way data blocks are assigned by the logging service, other hosts may be able to continue to write records. The amount of time that other hosts are able to continue is dependent on their logging activity rate and the size of the logging records being written.User Response
: Run the OFFLOAD LOGFILE utility as soon as possible.
Log file utilization exceeds
NN
percent
Explanation
: The number of assigned blocks in the log file(s) has exceeded the percentage reported. Utilization warnings begin at 70 percent and occur again at pre-defined percentage intervals.
System Action
: None
User Response
: o prevent the log file(s) from becoming full, run the OFFLOAD LOGFILE utility as soon as possible.
Logging {initialized|terminated} on data set
CCCCCCC1
Explanation
: Log data set (CCCCCCC1) has been either initialized (allocated and opened) or terminated (closed and de-allocated).
System Action
: None
User Response
: None
Log data set
CCCCCCC1
DISABLED;
CCCCCCC2
Explanation
: Log data set CCCCCCC1 has been disabled for the reason identified by CCCCCCC2. The disabled log file is closed and de-allocated.
Additional information by reason:
ALLOCATION FAILURE: LOG FILE MIGRATED
During the allocation process, the data set was found to be migrated.
ALLOCATION FAILURE
Allocation has failed for the data set for a reason other than its being migrated.
COULD NOT OPEN DATA SET
The OPEN for the data set has failed. Possible reasons are file not formatted with FMTLOG, an incorrect DSORG or an incompatible block size.
DATA SET NOT IN INITIALIZED STATE
An attempt is being made to put a non-initialized log file into a configuration where logging is not currently active, or to add a non-initialized log file into an existing configuration. To add a new log data set, it must be formatted using the FMTLOG utility.
PERMANENT I/O ERROR
A permanent I/O error occurred. The data set is unusable and should be re-allocated and re-formatted using the FMTLOG utility.
DATA SET BLOCK INFO CONFLICTS WITH CDS
During log file initialization, the indicated log file was not in an initialized state, and its block information does not match the block information in the CDS.
SIZE CONFLICT WITH OTHER LOG DATA SET
An attempt is being made to add one or more initialized log files into a configuration, but the sizes of the two log files do not match. If both log files are in an initialized state, then both are disabled; if one file is active and the other is being added, then only the new file is disabled.
ABEND IN THE LOG FILE I/O ROUTINE
An abend in the log file I/O routine occurred. Contact Oracle software support to determine the cause of the abend.
System Action
: Recording to the data set is discontinued. If only one log file was defined, or if both log files are disabled, then logging is no longer operational.
User Response
:
If there were two active log files and one is disabled, you can re-enable the disabled file using the following steps:
Delete and re-allocate the file, ensuring that the number of blocks matches the active file.
Run the FMTLOG utility to format the new file.
Run the SET LOGFILE utility to stage the new file to be re-enabled.
Run the OFFLOAD LOGFILE utility to offload the current existing log file and re-enable the new file.
If there are currently NO active log files, you can use the following steps to re-enable logging:
It is recommended that you back up your CDS as soon as possible, since the logging feature is currently inactive.
Delete and re-allocate the log file(s).
Run the FMTLOG utility to format the new file(s).
Run the SET LOGFILE utility to enable the new files immediately.
Log monitor task has terminated abnormally; logging now inactive
Explanation
: An abend has occurred in the log monitor task. No logging can be performed.
System Action
: None
User Response
: Contact StorageTek Software support to determine the cause of the abnormal termination. Stop and restart the HSC subsystem to re-enable logging.

RRRRRRRR
Explanation
: The COMMPATH TCPPATH value was rejected for the specified reason, RRRRRRRR.
System Action
: The entire COMMPATH command is rejected.
User Response
: Correct the error as indicated by the specified reason, RRRRRRRR. A non-exhaustive list of individual reasons is as follows:
"port number delimiter not found" indicates that the specified TCPPATH value did not include the "/" delimiter that separates the IP address or host name from the port number.
"invalid port number" indicates that the specified TCPPATH value specified a port number > 65535 or < 1.
"invalid IP address format" indicates that the specified IP address portion of the TCPPATH definition is an invalid IPv4 or IPv6 format.
"EZASMI interface cannot be initialized" indicates that the z/OS TCP/IP interface is not installed or is inaccessible to the HSC subsystem.
"Cannot specify IP "*" for other host" indicates that the specified TCPPATH value of "*" is invalid for a HOST id other than the HOST id issuing the command. Substitute a resolvable host name or IP address for the "*".
"Host name cannot be resolved" indicates that the COMMPATH TCPPATH value was interpreted as a host name, but that host name could not be resolved. Substitute a resolvable host name or IP address for the host name in error.
"IPv6 not supported on host" indicates that the COMMPATH TCPPATH value was interpreted as an IPv6 format address, but IPv6 is not supported on this host. Substitute a resolvable host name or IPv4 address for the IPv6 address in error.
"SLSSPIP service error" indicates an ELS IP service validation error. This last error should be reported to StorageTek Software support.

} are eligible for selection
Explanation
: An ENter or EJect command did not contain a specific CAPid, and no CAPs are eligible to be selected.
To be eligible for selection, a CAP must have a non-zero CAP preference value, it must be online, it must be idle, and it cannot be in RECOVERY Mode. In addition, for the ENter command, the CAP cannot be in AUTO mode.
System Action
: The EJect or ENter command is rejected.
User Response
: To view the status of the CAPs, issue the Display Cap command.
If CAP preference values need to be set to non-zero, this is done using the CAPPref command.
If a CAP needs to be brought online, this is done using the MODify command.
If a CAP mode needs to be changed from AUTO to MANual, this is done using the CAPPref command.
If a CAP is in RECOVERY mode then wait until the Recovery process is complete.
Once there are eligible CAPs from which to choose, re-issue the command. Alternatively, the command can be issued with a specific CAPid, so that the selection process is unnecessary.

DATABASE ERROR:
CCCCCCCCCCCC1
ON
CCCCCCCC2
CDS, RECORD
DDDDDDD1
OF
BLOCK
DDDDDDD2
IN SUBFILE
SSSS
Explanation
: A database error occurred on the CCCCCCCC2 control data set. The error information is contained in CCCCCCCCCCCC1. DDDDDDD2 identifies the relative block number where the error occurred, and DDDDDDD1 identifies the record number within the block. (DDDDDDD1 may have a value greater than the number of actual records within the block for some CDS record types). SSSS identifies the subfile that contains the block and record in error.
If the error is 70787078 (length mismatch), the error may be because: 1) the record length of a variable-length CDS record is incorrect and is less than the minimum length allowed, 2) the record length of a variable-length CDS record is incorrect and is greater than the maximum length allowed (as defined in the directory entry for the CDS record), or 3) the length in the directory entry is incorrect and is less than the length of the CDS record.
If the error is 70847084 (subfile not found), it may be because one of the parameters in the utility control statement is out of bounds. An example of an out of bounds condition causing this error is if you specified LSM(00:06)for a library that only has one LSM. For any other conditions, there is a possibility of a CDS integrity error on the CCCCCCCC2 control data set.
System Action
: The utility will go to normal termination with a return code of 8.
User Response
: If the problem is an invalid parameter, correct the parameter and rerun the desired utility. If the problem is a length mismatch and the directory entry length is incorrect, run the Directory Rebuild utility to correct the length, then rerun the desired utility. For other error reasons, make a copy of the CDS as it currently exists for diagnostic purposes, then restore the respective CDS(s) and rerun the desired utility. If this error persists, call customer support with the appropriate information.
WARNING: CAP

XXXXXXXX
; ZZ
dump taken
Explanation
: An HSC software failure occurred. CCCCCCCC is the abending module; XXXXX is the System or User ABEND code; XXXXXXXX is the reason code; and ZZ will be "NO" if no dump was taken or spaces if a dump was taken.
System Action
: Application error handling routines attempt to resolve the problem.
User Response
: Save any dumps taken. Contact StorageTek Software Support.
Automatic CAP Service {Available|Unavailable}
Explanation
: An attempt was made to execute a CAP component feature supporting the Automatic CAP service. The Automatic CAP service may be available even though no ACSs are connected. A reply of Unavailable indicates this service is not functioning. Therefore, CAPs in the ”automatic” state will not process an automatic ENter.
System Action
: HSC continues to function but without the Automatic CAP service.
User Response
: If the Automatic CAP service is Available no response is needed.
If the Automatic CAP service is Unavailable you may set the CAP to manual mode and continue. Determine the cause of the problem and correct it, if possible. If accompanied by a dump, save the dump and contact StorageTek Software Support.
To reactivate Automatic CAP services, stop and restart the HSC.
Return code

CAP
AA:LL:CC
unlocked; Magazine(s) installed improperly or CAP not closed completely
Explanation
: Either there are no magazines in CAP AA:LL:CC, the magazines are installed incorrectly, or the CAP is not closed completely. The CAP must contain at least one magazine, and unless the CAP is an SL8500 CAP, it must be in the bottom position in the CAP
System Action
: The system waits until the operator has opened and closed the CAP door. Then, the CAP is scanned again to ensure that the magazine(s) have been installed correctly. If the problem has not been corrected, this message is re-issued.
User Response
: If the CAP contains no magazines, insert at least one. For the SL8500 CAP, the magazine can be placed at the top, middle or bottom position. For all other CAPs, insert the magazine(s) starting at the bottom of the CAP; if there is an empty magazine slot below any magazine, move that magazine down to fill the gap. Then close the CAP door completely.
Note:
A magazine without the "N" symbol on its top right corner is not recognized by WolfCreek LSMs. If one of these magazines is installed in the bottom position in a WolfCreek CAP, it causes this message to be issued. If one of these magazines is installed in a WolfCreek CAP but not in the bottom position, this message is not issued; however, only magazines beneath that one will be used.Auto CAP Enter of

Explanation
: CAP AA:LL:CC is now in the indicated mode (AUTO or MANual). If the indicated mode is AUTO, the CAP is unlocked and available for entering cartridges. If the indicated mode is MANual, you must issue the ENter command to unlock the CAP in order to enter cartridges.
System Action
: The CAP is locked if the mode is MANual and unlocked if the mode is AUTO.
User Response
: None
Auto CAP
AA:LL:CC
still active; CAP component termination pending
Explanation
: During HSC level 2 termination, Auto CAP AA:LL:CC was still in active status.
System Action
: HSC level 2 termination waits until Auto CAP AA:LL:CC is no longer active.
User Response
: Ensure that the CAP door is closed. If the CAP is in recovery respond to any prior messages requesting removal of cartridges from the CAP.
Cartridge
volser in CAP cell
AA:LL:CC:RR:CC
has an invalid media label and cannot be entered
Explanation
: A cartridge (volser) has been found in CAP cell AA:LL:CC:RR:CC with an unreadable optical media label and cannot be entered.
System Action
: Cartridge entry leaves the cartridge in the CAP cell in which it is found and continues with the next cartridge in the CAP.
User Response
: Remove the cartridge from the CAP. If the cartridge must be entered, correct the media label.
Eject of
volser
into PCAP - media type changed from
MM1
to
MM2
Explanation
: The initial attempt to eject volume volser into a PCAP failed with a media miscompare.
A media miscompare error occurs when the HSC-supplied media type to be verified (MM1) did not match the media type read by the vision system (MM2). The LMU reports the mismatch to the HSC as a media miscompare error. Media miscompare errors occur only when the HSC requests the LMU to perform media verification.
System Action
: The media type for the volume in the Control Data Set (CDS) is changed to the media type read by the vision system. The eject is automatically retried.
This message is issued only when media verification is in effect, and media verification is done when the eject is automatically retried. If a miscompare occurs again the eject will fail and the PCAP will be released.
User Response
: If MM1 and MM2 are the same, a hardware problem with the LMU or vision system may exist. If the automatically retried eject fails, try to eject the volume into a non-PCAP. If the retried eject is successful, no response is necessary.
CAP reserved to another host group; unable to make CAP
AA:LL:CC
AUTO
Explanation
: Another host group, such as ACSLS, has reserved CAP AA:LL:CC, and the CAP could not be put into the AUTO state.
System Action
: The specified CAP is not put into the AUTO state; execution continues.
User Response
: Wait for the other host group to release the CAP; or, use the other host group software or the hardware mechanism to free the CAP.
CAP
AA:LL:CC
still active; CAP component termination pending
Explanation
: During HSC level 2 termination, CAP AA:LL:CC was still in active status.
System Action
: HSC level 2 termination waits until CAP AA:LL:CC is no longer active.
User Response
: Ensure that the CAP door is closed. If the CAP is in recovery respond to any prior messages requesting removal of cartridges from the CAP.
CAP
AA:LL:CC
: unavailable for

is incompatible with media for volume
volser
Explanation
: The CARTINIT utility attempted to mount volume volser on the specified transport XXXX, but the tape media and transport are incompatible.
System Action
: The system ejects the cartridge and continues with the next one.
User Response
: On the SLSTAPE DD statement, specify a transport that matches the media being initialized.
RECONFIG volume copy started using
DDDDDDDD
Explanation
: The DDDDDDDD method is being used for the RECONFIGuration volume copy. DDDDDDDD may be CDS I/O or Data Space. The data space method offers improved performance.
System Action
: The utility continues.
User Response
: None
Creation of the RECONFIG utility Data Space failed -
MMMMMMMM
-
CC
-
RRRRRRRR
; reply CDS or Terminate (C/T)
Explanation
: MMMMMMMM is the IBM macro call that failed creating the Reconfiguration utility data space. CC is the return code that describes the failure. RRRRRRRR is the reason code that describes the failure. Refer to the appropriate IBM documentation for an explanation of the return/reason code.
If the failing macro is DSPSERV with a 08 return code and a reason code of xx0005xx, the size of the data space violates installation criteria (IEFUSI exit). This indicates that the HSC is not running in Protect Key 1-7. Check the MVS Program Properties Table in the SCHEDxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB for proper specification of the Protect Key for HSC.
System Action
: The RECONFIGuration utility waits until you reply with either CDS (C) or Terminate (T).
User Response
: Reply with one of the following:
C, if the RECONFIGuration utility is to continue using the CDS I/O method for the volume copy step. This will lengthen the run time of the utility.
T, if the RECONFIGuration utility is to terminate.
RECDEF data set is not a newly recreated CDS
Explanation
: The reconfiguration utility found volume records in the RECDEF CDS. The RECDEF CDS must be a newly created CDS.
System Action
: The reconfiguration utility terminates with return code of 08.
User Response
: Run the SLICREAT utility to create a new CDS.
Volume

Unexpected EOF reading journal specified by SLSJRNdd DD statement
Explanation
: The RESTore utility encountered the end-of-file condition while attempting to read the journal file SLSJRN
dd. (dd=01 - 99.)
System Action
: The utility terminates with a U1096-0202 abend.
User Response
: Check to see that the specified journal file was properly formatted. If it was not, then use SLICREAT to format the journal file.
If the specified journal file is properly formatted, then contact StorageTek Software Support.
Volume
VVVVVV
is a VSM MVC cartridge; Cannot be entered into scratch list
Explanation
: A SLUADMIN SCRAtch Update utility attempted to add a specified volume serial number (VVVVVV) to the library scratch pool, but the volser qualifies as a VSM MVC cartridge and cannot be treated as a scratch volume.
System Action
: The utility continues processing.
User Response
: The error does not cancel the SCRAtch Update utility, but you may want to check the specified volume serial number, correct it, and resubmit the SLUADMIN scratch update job.
Volume
VVVVVV
already defined in VSM as scratch
Explanation
: A SLUADMIN SCRAtch Update utility attempted to add a specified volume serial number (VVVVVV) to the VSM scratch pool, but the volser was already defined as scratch.
System Action
: The utility continues processing.
User Response
: The error does not cancel the SCRAtch Update utility, but you may want to check the specified volume serial number, correct it, and resubmit the SLUADMIN scratch update job.
Volume

Volume
volser
is not eligible to be scratched:
reason
Explanation
: A SLUADMIN SCRAtch Update utility attempted to add a specified volume serial number (volser) to the library scratch pool, but the volser has been set as not eligible to be scratched.
The request was denied for one of the following reasons:
The volser has been set into the 'DO NOT SCRATCH' state because is was previously defined as an MVC.
The volser is defined as being in an external pool by a POOLPARM statement and the OWNRPLEX value did not match to the issuing tapeplex.
System Action
: The utility continues processing.
User Response
: The error does not cancel the SCRATch Update utility, but you may want to check the specified volume serial number (VVVVVV), correct it, and resubmit the SLUADMIN SCRAtch update job.
Volume
volser
not scratched, DFSMSRMM API Error,
FFFFFFFFF
, RC=
xx
, RS=
yy
Explanation
: A SLUADMIN SCRAtch Update utility has attempted to scratch the specified volume serial number (volser) but was unable to because DFSMSrmm returned a non zero return code. FFFFFFFFF is the RMM function that failed. The function will be either LISTVOLUME or CHANGEVOLUME. Reference the DFSMSRMM documentation to find the meaning of the return code xx and the reason code yy.
System Action
: The utility continues functioning.
User Response
: This error does not cancel the SCRAtch Update utility. Correct the problem and re-run the SCRAtch Update utility for this volser.
Volume
volser
not scratched because it is not a scratch in the DFSMSrmm database
Explanation
: A SLUADMIN SCRAtch Update utility has attempted to scratch the specified volume serial number (volser) but was unable to because the volume was not in scratch status in the DFSMSrmm control data set.
System Action
: The utility continues functioning.
User Response
: This error does not cancel the SCRAtch Update utility. When the volume is placed in scratch status in the DFSMSrmm control data set then re-run the SCRAtch Update utility for this volser.
VTV
VVVVVV
not scratched because of status change
Explanation
: When attempting to scratch VTV VVVVVV, VTCS found that the status of the VTV had changed since the command was originally issued.
System Action
: The VTV has not been scratched.
User Response
: None. This is only a warning. Because there may be a significant delay between the time that the request is validated and the time that the scratch command is attempted, it is quite possible for another request to update the VTV record and thus invalidate the scratch request.
The following may cause a VTV status change if it occurs after validation is performed and before the scratch request is attempted:
The VTV is mounted, but not dismounted.
The VTV is read/written (hence mounted and dismounted) by an application program.
VOLSAFE VTV
VVVVVV
not scratched; {userid
UUUUUUUU
not authorized | no userid for scratch request}
Explanation
: When attempting to scratch VTV VVVVVV, VTCS found that the VTV was VOLSAFE protected. Either the userid UUUUUUUU is not authorized to scratch VOLSAFE protected VTV media or there was no userid associated with the scratch request.
System Action
: The VTV is not scratched.
User Response
: Ensure a userid is associated with the scratch attempt and that it has the level of authorization required to scratch VOLSAFE protected VTVs.
The equivalent of RACF ALTER authority with a CLASS of TAPEVOL is required to scratch VOLSAFE protected VTVs.
The RACF authority can be set with the following RACF commands:
RDEFINE TAPEVOL
volser
UACC(NONE)
PERMIT
volser
CLASS(TAPEVOL) ID(
userid
) ACCESS(ALTER)
User SCRATCH subpool definition unsuccessful -
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC2
Explanation
: User SCRATCH subpool definition is unsuccessful. The reason is given by CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC2, and may be any one of the following:
Bad number of subpools: n
The user attempted to define more than the maximum of 255 subpools, or zero subpools. n is the number of subpools specified.
Subpool defined out of order: n
The user attempted to define subpools out of order. The subpool numbers presented to HSC must be sequential beginning with 1. n is the number of the first subpool which is defined out of sequence.
Bad number of subpool entries: 0
The user attempted to define zero subpool ranges.
Bad volser range: vvvvv1-vvvvv2
The user attempted to define a subpool with an invalid VOLSER range. The beginning and ending volsers of the invalid range are shown as vvvvv1 and vvvvv2.
Bad label type: X
"xx"
The user attempted to define a subpool with an invalid label type. The invalid label type is shown in hexadecimal as xx.
Subpools already defined
The user attempted to define subpools a second time. HSC allows subpools to be defined only once during a single execution.
Expected entry number exceeded
The user attempted to define a new scratch subpool volser range but the number of specified volser ranges has been exceeded.
Expected subpool number exceeded
The user attempted to define a new scratch subpool but the number of specified subpools has been exceeded.
Invalid host list definition: n
The user attempted to define a host list using a VER1 SLSUX03P parameter list, but the host list specification was incorrect. n is the number of the subpool defined with the incorrect host list definition.
System Action
: Subpools are not defined.
User Response
: Correct the invalid subpool definition and resubmit the definitions to HSC. This requires stopping and starting HSC unless the definitions are being submitted through the VM Tape Management Interface.
Scratch Pool Depletion Warning for ACS
AA
|LSM
AA:LL
{Subpool
CCCCCCC1
} {Media
CCCCCCC2
},
DDDDDDDDDD
Scratch Volumes remaining
Explanation
: The scratch warning threshold/interval has been reached for media type CCCCCCC2. The specified ACS (AA) or LSM (AA:LL) has (DDDDDDDDDD) scratch volumes remaining. If the threshold was specified for a subpool, the subpool is also identified by CCCCCCC1.
This message is first issued when the scratch pool has reached the initial scratch warning level. The message is repeated whenever the scratch pool is depleted by the scratch interval amount. (See the Warn and OPTion Warnmsg commands for more details on scratch thresholds and warning intervals.)
System Action
: The ACS or LSM is running low on scratch volumes as specified by the user via the Warn command. When all scratch volumes have been used, the HSC attempts to allocate scratch mount requests to non-library transports.
User Response
: Add more scratch cartridges to the ACS or LSM scratch pool for the correct media type (by running the SCRAtch update utility function), or lower the scratch warning threshold.

User Response
: Save the dump. Contact StorageTek Software Support.
Previously unselected volume
VVVVVV
incurred an error while the record was being
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
Explanation
: Volume VVVVVV had the UNSElect utility run against it sometime prior to the CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC action.
The process encountering the error had the volume selected when the utility unselected the volume.
The CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC action is defined as follows:
Unselected
Made errant
Updated
Inserted as scratch
Deleted
System Action
: The action is not completed. There might also be a subsequent U1096 abend with a return code 4004, ”volume not selected”.
User Response
: The U1096 abend return code 4004 is the residual affect of a user action and is not applicable to the present volume circumstance. The conditions of the cartridge need to be determined and corrective action may be necessary. Scan the system logs to find out what the last system action against the volume was prior to this message. Display the volume to determine where HSC believes the cartridge is located. With this information use the VIew command to check each of the potential cartridge locations. If a VIew shows it is not in its home cell and a Display Volume shows it is in its home cell but it is unselected, two primary paths of resolution are present.
The first is that a VIew accounted for the physical location of the volume in the library based on system log messages or actions taken. If the volume is on a transport in MVS, you must issue an Unload command for the transport; and if it is online, the Unload command delays unloading the device until it is no longer allocated. If it is not online to any system, issue an HSC DISMount command without the volser. In VM, if the device is ATTACHed to the tape management virtual machine (such as VMTAPE), issue an HSC DISMount without the volser. If the device is not ATTACHed to any virtual machine, you should attempt to ATTACH the device to some virtual machine and then DETACH it which unloads the tape. If the transport is assigned to another system, the ATTACH fails. If the volume is in a CAP, input an HSC ENter command to allocate the CAP and then remove the cartridge. Follow the procedure below to logically remove the volume reference from the control data set. If the volume is in an inaccessible location due to a hardware failure, (PTP, Transport, CAP, LSM), contact StorageTek Hardware Support.
The second is that the volume was removed from the LSM during CAP processing or manual mode and is external to the library. This can usually be corrected by running an AUDIt against the cell. Another method is to perform an HSC EJect or Mount command against the volume and reply to the subsequent message to eject or delete the ”logical” volume reference from the control data set.
SET VOLPARM utility execution completed
; *DEF commands
{ENABLED|DISABLED
}
Explanation
: The SET VOLPARM utility has been executed successfully. This message is issued when the SET VOLPARM utility is run and will be displayed when HSC initializes if the subsystem was down while the utility executed.
System Action
: When the message displays 'DISABLED' the following VOLUME/POOL definitions are updated:
VOLATTR
MVC POOL
SCRATCH POOL
The *DEF commands are not allowed.
When the message displays 'ENABLED' the *DEF commands are allowed.
User Response
: None
Error reading VOLPARM data
Explanation
: An error occurred while reading the data for the VOLUME/POOL definitions. See the previous messages for the type of error.
System Action
: If any volume definitions were in effect at the time of the error (either old style VOLDEF, MVCDEF, and SCRPDEF, or a previous VOLPARM load), these definitions remain in effect. Otherwise, there are no volume definitions in effect for the HSC and VTCS processes until the error is corrected.
User Response
: Investigate the cause of the I/O error and correct.
Error parsing VOLPARM data
Explanation
: An error occurred while parsing the data for the VOLUME/POOL definitions. See the previous messages for the type of parsing error.
System Action
: If any volume definitions were in effect at the time of the error (either old style VOLDEF, MVCDEF, and SCRPDEF, or a previous VOLPARM load), these definitions remain in effect. Otherwise, there are no volume definitions in effect for the HSC and VTCS processes until the error is corrected.
User Response
: Investigate the cause of the parsing error and correct by rerunning the SET VOLPARM utility function. Check recent maintenance for updates to the SET VOLPARM utility.
VOLPARM VOLUME/POOL definitions are not active
Explanation
: The VOLPARM VOLUME/POOL definitions are not active. The CDSDATA information for the following are not available:
CDSDATA TYPE=VOLPOOL
CDSDATA TYPE=MVCPOOL
CDSDATA TYPE=SCRPOOL
System Action
: None
User Response
: Run the SET VOLPARM utility to activate the VOLUME/POOL definitions.
Error reading control database - RC =
XXXX
Explanation
: A Configuration Control function received an error return code from the Data Base Server and could not proceed.
System Action
: The Configuration Control function is aborted. This may cause other top level functions to be aborted as well.
User Response
: Check the device containing the control data set. If the device is operational, obtain the most recent backup of the control data set and run a SLUADMIN RESTore utility.

(
...message text...
)
Explanation
: Generally, a specified value is invalid or an incompatibility exists between volume, unit, media, and/or recording technique information for a request. The message text can be one of the following:
Mount rejected - cleaning cartridge is not a scratch volume
A cleaning cartridge cannot be used to satisfy a scratch mount request.
Mount rejected - VOLATTR media type for specified volume is incompatible with unit
The media type of the specified volume, as defined by a VOLATTR statement, is incompatible with the media capabilities of the unit.
Mount rejected - VAR media type for specified volume is incompatible with unit
The media type of the specified volume, as defined by a Volume Attribute Record in the CDS, is incompatible with the media capabilities of the unit
System Action
: The mount of the specified volume is rejected and the original action message is re-issued to request a new volume.
User Response
: Reply to the action message and specify a volume that is compatible with the media capabilities of the unit.
Mount of
volser
on {DRIVE
XXXX
|DRIVEID
AA:LL:PP:NN
} - media type changed from
MM1
to
MM2
Explanation
: The initial attempt to mount volume volser on transport XXXX|AA:LL:PP:NN failed with a media miscompare error.
A media miscompare error occurs when the HSC-supplied media type to be verified (MM1) did not match the media type read by the vision system (MM2). The LMU reports the mismatch to the HSC as a media miscompare error. Media miscompare errors occur only when the HSC requests the LMU to perform media verification.
System Action
: The media type for the volume in the Control Data Set (CDS) is changed to the media type read by the vision system. The mount is retried, but media verification is bypassed.
This message is issued only when media verification is in effect, so it is not issued again for this mount request. Other messages will subsequently indicate if the mount was completed successfully, or encountered additional problems.
User Response
: If MM1 and MM2 are the same, a hardware problem with the LMU or vision system may exist. Otherwise, no response is necessary.
{DRIVE
XXXX
|DRIVEID
AA:LL:PP:NN
} and volume
volser
are incompatible - request rejected {before|after} the mount was attempted
Explanation
: An incompatibility was detected between the media and recording technique capabilities of transport {XXXX|AA:LL:PP:NN} and volume volser before or after the mount was attempted.
System Action
: The mount is rejected. The job waits for the volume to be mounted, but this is impossible because the cartridge can never be physically mounted on the allocated device.
User Response
: Cancel the job, correct the JCL, definition statements (VOLATTR, UNITATTR, TAPEREQ), and/or SMS routines, and rerun the job.
Volume

XXXX
|DRIVEID
AA:LL:PP:NN
}; found
volser2
in home cell
AA:LL:PP:RR:CC
Explanation
: If volser1 and volser2 have the same volume serial, a duplicate volume may be present in the library, or two concurrent dismount requests may have been processed by the LMU. If volser1 and volser2 have different volume serials, another volume is in the home cell of volser1.
System Action
: If volser1 and volser2 have the same volume serial, a cell scan of the drive is performed to determine whether a duplicate volume is in the ACS. If volser1 is not equal to volser2 then a new home cell is acquired for volser1.
User Response
: An audit of the home cell location AA:LL:PP:RR:CC may be required to locate volser2 and insert it into the CDS.
Dismount of cartridge

Explanation
: The HSC attempted to dismount volume volser1 from a drive but the drive is loaded. The drive status information indicates that volser2 is mounted on the drive. Either a different physical volume volser1 is on the drive, or the internal volume serial volser1 does not match the external volume serial volser2.
System Action
: The HSC continues processing.
User Response
: If the volume on the drive should be dismounted, issue the MVS UNLOAD command and then issue the HSC DISMount command.
Dismount of cartridge
volser1 from {DRIVE

User Response
: Upgrade you SMC client to SMC 7.0 or above.
Number of drives per panel cannot be changed with FORHOST
Explanation
: The number of drives specified on a SET SLIDRIVS utility control statement does not match the current number of drives defined for the panel. This SET SLIDRIVS statement included the FORHOST parameter. Changing the number of drives on a panel for only one host is not supported.
System Action
: The control statement is ignored. A return code of 8 is set.
User Response
: Correct the number of drives on the SET SLIDRIVS statement to agree with the existing value, or remove the FORHOST parameter from the statement to change the number of drives for all hosts, and resubmit the SLUADMIN utility job.
HSC Parmlib not accessible, data reported may be incorrect
Explanation
: The HSC Parmlib is not accessible, and data reported may be incomplete or incorrect. The Parmlib may be identified by the SLSSCRPL DD statement or accessed by the active HSC on this host.
System Action
: The utility continues processing. Scratch subpool totals will not be produced and scratch subpool IDs will not be reported for volumes. Because the global maximum cleaning limit cannot be determined, cleaning cartridges over the maximum usage limit are not reported.
User Response
: Identify the HSC Parmlib via the SLSSCRPL DD statement or by running the utility on a host with an active HSC that accesses the correct Parmlib.
Panel must be empty to use SET SLIDRIVS to change cell geometry
Explanation
: The SET SLIDRIVS utility control statement cannot be used to change one type of drive panel to another unless the two panels have the same cell geometry or the panel being changed is empty.
System Action
: The utility control statement is ignored. A return code of 8 is set.
User Response
: Either (1) resubmit the job, changing the number of drives defined for the panel, or (2) set MNTD Float(OFf) and do not enter volumes into the LSM, then use the MOVe or EJect command or utility to remove all volumes from the panel and then resubmit the job.

: The utility control statement is ignored. A return code of 8 is set.
User Response
: Bring all hosts to the required HSC maintenance level and resubmit the job.
SET CDSLVL REGRESS failed; invalid LSM or panel type found in CDS
Explanation
: The SET CDSLVL REGRESS utility attempted to regress a CDS to an earlier CDS level. However, an LSM or panel type was defined in the CDS which is not supported at the earlier CDS level.
For example, 9740 LSMs and drive panels configured for 20 drives are not supported at CDS level 2.0.0. Thus a 2.1.0 level CDS which includes 9740 LSMs or 20 drive panels cannot be regressed to CDS level 2.0.0.
System Action
: The utility control statement is ignored. A return code of 8 is set.
User Response
: All LSMs which are not supported at the earlier CDS level must be removed from the library configuration before the CDS can be regressed to the earlier CDS level. The LIBGEN, SLICREAT, and RECONFIG processes can be used to remove the LSMs from the library configuration. Then the CDS can be regressed to an earlier CDS level.

AA:LL:PP:NN
|CAP ID
AA:LL:CC
}
Explanation
: A record was found with a key that does not match any existing ACS/LSM.
System Action
: The utility terminates with return code 8. If the error is encountered in SLUDBMAP (LIBGEN), then statements are generated for portions of the library that are not in error.
User Response
: Report this condition to StorageTek Software Support. It may be necessary to re-create the CDS using the merge or reconfigure utility.
Output of CDS convert may be invalid
Explanation
: An LSM record was found with a drive panel which did not have a valid number of drive slots.
System Action
: The utility completes and issues a return code of 4.
User Response
: Report this condition to StorageTek Software Support. It may be necessary to re-create the CDS using the merge or reconfigure utility.
Number of ACSs is greater than 100
Explanation
: During execution of the LIBGEN utility, a total ACS count greater than 100 was found.
System Action
: The utility completes and issues a return code of 4. No output is generated for ACS IDs greater than 99 (hexadecimal 63).
User Response
: If "place holder" ACSs defined in the CDS which cause the number to be greater than the new maximum of 100, you will need to create a new CDS with a number of ACSs less than or equal to the maximum, and execute the CDS MERGE utility to transfer data from the existing CDS to the new CDS.
ACS
AA
contains more than 100 LSMs
Explanation
: During execution of the LIBGEN utility the ACS AA was found to have more than 100 LSMs. If the ACS FUTRACS is displayed, it indicates that the LSM portion of the FUTRACS parameter is too large.
System Action
: The utility completes and issues a return code of 8 if the ACS is a real ACS or a return code 4 if the ACS is FUTRACS.
Generated SLIACS macros do not include the LSMs with IDs greater than hexadecimal 63, but SLILSM records are generated for them.
User Response
: If this message appears for a real ACS, the output of the LIBGEN utility cannot be used as input to the LIBGEN assembly process.
Examine your configuration to determine how to eliminate unused LSMs, and create a new CDS with the corrected configuration. Then execute the CDS MERGE utility to transfer data from the existing CDS to the new CDS.
FUTRACS would create more than 100 ACSs, resetting to
NN
Explanation
: During execution of the LIBGEN utility it was determined that the number of existing ACSs plus the number of future ACSs would exceed the system maximum of 100.
System Action
: The utility sets the FUTRACS parameter to the difference between 100 and the current number of ACSs and continues processing. If no other errors are found, the utility terminates with a return code of 4.
User Response
: None
FUTRLSM would create more than 100 LSMs, resetting to
NN
Explanation
: During execution of the LIBGEN utility it was determined that the number of existing LSMs plus the number of future LSMs in an ACS would exceed the system maximum of 100.
System Action
: The utility sets the FUTRLSM parameter to the difference between 100 and the current number of LSMs in the ACS and continues processing. If no other errors are found, the utility terminates with a return code of 4.
User Response
: None
FUTRLSM would create more than 100 LSMs, resetting to
NN
Explanation
: An attempt was made to dismount volume volser to its home cell but the home cell was occupied by another volume and FLOAT OFF was in use.
System Action
: The dismount waits for a reply of A or E.
User Response
: Replying with A allows HSC to allocate a different home cell for volume volser. Replying with E causes volume volser to be ejected.
FUTRLSM would create more than 100 LSMs, resetting to
NN
Explanation
: The DDNAME specified refers to a data set that is not a valid CDS format. CCC...CCCC indicates the error.
System Action
: Utility processing is terminated.

User Response
: Verify that the duplicate Vaulted Volume is processed as intended.
Merge command with REALONLY|VIRTONLY parameter will be replaced by SLSMERGE parameter ALLREAL|ALLVIRT in a future release
Explanation
: The REALonly|VIRTonly parameters in the MERGE command will be replaced by the ALLREAL|ALLVIRT parameters in a future release.
System Action
: The utility continues.
User Response
: In the future, use the SLSMERGE ALLREAL parameter instead of the MERGE REALonly parameter and the SLSMERGE ALLVIRT parameter instead of the MERGE VIRTonly parameter. Use the NOREAL, NOVIRT and NOVALT parameters to prevent specific data types from merging.
Merge command parameter REALONLY|VIRTONLY has been detected; SLSMERGE NOVIRT/NOREAL and NOVALT parameters have been automatically set
Explanation
: The MERGE REALonly|VIRTonly parameters will be replaced in a future release with the SLSMERGE ALLREAL|ALLVIRT parameters. To support the MERGE REALonly|VIRTonly parameters, the SLSMERGE NOREAL|NOVIRT and NOVALT parameters will be set when the REALonly|VIRTonly parameters are detected.
System Action
: The utility continues.
User Response
: In the future, use the SLSMERGE ALLREAL|ALLVIRT|NOREAL|NOVIRT|NOVALT parameters instead of the REALonly|VIRTonly parameters.
SLSMERGE parameters:

{MVC|VTV} volume
VVVVVV
not configured in 'TO' CDS
Explanation
: Correct the error and resubmit the CDS Merge.
The DELVirt parameter is specified, and
The 'FROM' CDS shows volume VVVVVV to be empty or uninitialized.
A VTV is considered empty if it is not resident and has no current MVC copies. An MVC is considered empty if it contains no current VTVs and, if previously used, has been drained.
System Action
: The utility continues. The merge process will not copy any MVC or VTV volumes to the 'TO' CDS. Return code 8 is set.
User Response
: If merge processing should copy volume VVVVVV to the 'TO' CDS, correct the configuration of the 'TO' CDS to include volume VVVVVV in an MVC or VTV range (as appropriate), then rerun the merge.
If merge processing should delete volume VVVVVV, by not copying it to the 'TO' CDS:
Ensure the DELVirt parameter is specified.
If volume VVVVVV is a VTV, ensure that the 'FROM' CDS shows VTV VVVVVV as not resident and with no current MVC copies. If VTV VVVVVV is scratch, the DELETSCR utility can be used to delete resident and MVC copies of the VTV.
If volume VVVVVV is an MVC, ensure that the 'FROM' CDS shows MVC VVVVVV to be empty, i.e. containing zero (0) VTVs. If MVC VVVVVV previously contained VTVs, run an MVCRPT. If a value is displayed in the 'Owner/Comment/Consolidate Time' column, MVC VVVVVV needs to be drained. Once drained, no value is displayed in that column.
Once the conditions for deleting volume VVVVVV have been met, rerun the merge.
MVC volume

: Dynamic reconfiguration processing continues.
User Response
: None
{Transport|Drive record|LSM/rail} {
AA:LL:PP:NN
|
AA:LL
} successfully {added to|removed from} current HSC configuration
Explanation
: Dynamic reconfiguration has either added or removed a transport, drive record or LSM. Transport indicates both the HSC configuration drive record and the transport in the library have been processed. Drive record indicates only the HSC configuration was changed (i.e. when SLUADMIN is run to add configuration drive records but the transports are not yet connected). LSM/rail indicates a LSM has been processed based on the SL8500 configuration discovered.
System Action
: HSC continues processing configuration changes until complete.
User Response
: None
CDS {drive|LSM} record {not found|previously removed} for existing {transport|LSM/rail; id={
AA:LL:PP:NN
|AA:LL
}
Explanation
: Dynamic reconfiguration has found a connected tape transport or LSM in the SL8500 library with no corresponding configuration record on the CDS. Either the drive record was removed with SLUADMIN or was never present on the CDS. For LSMs, no corresponding record was established in the LIBGEN using the FUTRLSM parameter.
System Action
: The HSC cannot add a transport to the current configuration without a corresponding drive record on the CDS. The same rule applies with LSMs. WTOR SLS4405D is issued to ask the customer to proceed or abort.
User Response
: Reply 'N' to the SLS4405D message, add the specific record to the CDS and launch dynamic reconfiguration again. A reply of 'Y' will proceed with reconfiguration however, in this situation, the specific drive or LSM will not be added to the current configuration.
CDS {drive|LSM} record found with no matching {transport|LSM/rail}; library location = {
AA:LL:PP:NN
|
AA:LL
}
Explanation
: Dynamic reconfiguration has found a configuration record on the CDS with no corresponding transport or LSM at the specified location. Either 1) the transport was removed from the library without removing the drive record from the CDS; 2) the drive record has been added to the CDS and the transport has not been added to the library or 3) the LSM/rail is being taken away from the HSC.
System Action
: The HSC will issue WTOR SLS4405D in this situation asking the customer to proceed or abort.
User Response
: If this mismatch is not expected, reply 'N' to the SLS4405D message, connect the transport to the library, and launch dynamic reconfiguration again. For LSMs, this mismatch is expected as no dynamic CDS updates can be made. A reply of 'Y' will 1) mark the drive record as "unconfigured" whether resulting from the addition of the drive record or removal of the transport or 2) remove the LSM from the HSC configuration.
{Drive {type|unit address|host definition|type and unit address}|{LSM {panel configuration|passthru configuration|panel and passthru configuration} successfully modified for {transport|LSM/rail} {

} during dynamic reconfig
Explanation
: Dynamic reconfiguration has successfully modified 1) the specified drive's type, unit address, or host definition; or 2) the specified LSM's panel and/or passthru configuration.
System Action
: The HSC has updated the current configuration accordingly.
User Response
: None
CDS / LMU conflicts exist; allow dynamic reconfig to proceed; Reply 'Y'or 'N'
Explanation
: Dynamic reconfiguration has either; 1) found a connected transport with no corresponding drive record; 2) found a configuration drive record on the CDS with no corresponding transport in the library; 3) found an LSM record on the CDS with no corresponding SL8500 LSM; or 4) found an SL8500 LSM/rail with no corresponding LSM record on the CDS. Preceding messages SLS4402I and SLS4403I provide the specific SL8500 elements and locations.
System Action
: Dynamic reconfiguration waits to receive a reply to this message. If 60 seconds expires before a reply is received, dynamic reconfiguration is aborted and message SLS4405D is deleted from the console.
User Response
: If reply of 'Y' is given, dynamic reconfiguration will process all eligible changes. Any other reply will result in dynamic reconfiguration aborting with reason = operator request.
Dynamic reconfiguration processing did not occur, no changes found or unable to process
Explanation
: Dynamic reconfiguration processing determined that no configuration changes in the SL8500 library or in the HSC were made; or that changes were not able to be processed. Possible situations include: 1) new transports found with no corresponding drive records and 'Y' was replied to SLS4405D WTOR; 2) new LSM(s) found with no corresponding LSM records and 'Y' was replied to SLS4405D WTOR; 3) no SL8500 based elements found to process.
System Action
: Dynamic reconfiguration processing ends.
User Response
: If configuration changes were anticipated ensure all changes are in place, both in the CDS and the library.

System Action
: Dynamic reconfiguration processing ends.
User Response
: Contact StorageTek Software Support for all errors except the following:
operator request|timeout: No response required.
ACS cannot be deleted|added: Review message SLS4423E for possible cause and corrective action.
utilities or functions active: Review message SLS4424E for possible cause and corrective action.
Aborted by CONFIG RESET on hhhh: No response required.
library switch in progress: Wait for the switch process(es) to complete. Use the Display Status command to see if the ACS(s) are switching. If ACS(s) are not switching, issue the F CONFIG command to reconfigure the ACS(s).
CDS drive record for library location
AA:LL:PP:NN
marked as unconfigured
Explanation
: Dynamic reconfiguration has marked a drive record as unconfigured for one of two reasons; 1) Transports were removed but SLUADMIN has not run to remove the drive records from the CDS or 2) drive records have been added to the CDS using SLUADMIN however the corresponding transports have not been connected to the library.
System Action
: The drive records remain in the HSC configuration but are marked as unconfigured and will not reflect valid types or recording techniques. They will display with a status of "unconfg" (unconfigured).
User Response
: The drives can remain in the unconfigured state until transports are connected at the corresponding library location id or removed with SLUADMIN if no longer wanted.
Drive record
AA:LL:PP:NN
remains unconfigured, no changes made
Explanation
: Dynamic reconfiguration has determined that a drive remains unconfigured since the last reconfiguration or initialization.
System Action
: The drive record is not processed.
User Response

HSC deleted volume
VVVVVV
from CDS for UNALLOCATED {LSMID
AA:LL
| CELL
AA:LL:PP:RR:CC
}
Explanation
: A volume was found in the CDS still remaining in an LSM that has been unallocated via the partitioning process, or in a cell that has been unallocated via the capacity on demand process.
System Action
: The volume is deleted from the CDS.
User Response
: The volume will be "owned" by the new host (or host group) to which the unallocated LSM or cell has been assigned. The new host must perform an HSC audit to recover the volume. In the event the volume is mounted on a drive, the new host must issue an HSC DISMOUNT command to recover the volume.
HSC failed to delete volume
VVVVVV
from CDS for UNALLOCATED {LSMID
AA:LL
|
CELL
AA:LL:PP:RR:CC
} RC=
RCRCRCRC
Explanation
: The HSC attempted to delete a volume from the CDS but was unable to do so. The return code identifies the reason for the failure but the most likely reason is that the volume was in use by another process when the attempt to delete the volume was made.
System Action
: The volume remains in the CDS and becomes "inaccessable".
User Response
: After the partitioning process or the capacity on demand process has completed the volume will be "owned" by the host to which the unallocated LSM or cell has been assigned. This host must do an HSC audit function to recover the volume. In the event the volume is mounted on a drive, the new host must issue an HSC DISMOUNT command to recover the volume.

Explanation
: During config verification of the specified location(s) (AA:LL, p1, p2, etc.), something unexpected was found, such as, a cartridge in an unexpected location, a cartridge in a cell but no matching volser in the database, etc.
System Action
: Processing continues.
User Response
: First run the AUDIT utility with APPLY(NO) for the panel locations indicated to discover the problems found. The VOLRPT utility may need to be run to determine certain information for volumes. Part of problem resolution may be running the AUDIT utility with APPLY(YES). After problems are resolved, the SET utility specifying FREEZE OFF may need to be run.
It is recommended to run AUDIT with APPLY(NO) first in order to discover and resolve problems before any changes are made to the CDS with APPLY(YES).
During configuration changes, panels are initially set to "frozen" status. When the configuration change is completed, if something unexpected is found, panels will remain in "frozen" status.
Database I/O error (RC=

{ACS|ACSTYPE} {AA|SL8500|SL3000} cannot be {DELETED|ADDED}
Explanation
: In the case of DELETE ACS, the ACS cannot be deleted for one of the following reasons:
The ACS contains an LSM that is not an SL8500 or an SL3000.
The ACS has been unallocated and an allocated ACS exists that has a higher ACS identifier.
The ACS is the only allocated ACS in the configuration.
In the case of ADD ACSTYPE, an ACS cannot be added for one of the following reasons:
No future ACS or unallocated ACS was available.
No future ACS was available and the unallocated ACSs were not created from a future ACS.
System Action
: None, the ACS ADD or DELETE does not occur.
User Response
: Review the CDS configuration macros to verify that FUTRACS was specified on the SLILIBRY macro. Issue the Display ACS command to determine the current ACS configuration. Review the display and the LIBGEN SLIACS statements to determine the reason for the command failure.

If the HOST is trying to do NCO refresh and the SET utility is running, the message will wait and retry every 5 seconds until the utility completes then NCO REFRESH will continue processing.
If the HOST initiating the NCO update discovers a utility or function active and the reason is delayed, the NCO will wait for the current activity to end. No new activity will be allowed to start until dynamic reconfiguration ends.
If the HOST initiating the NCO update discovers a utility active and the reason is cannot proceed, NCO will fail and the update will not be executed.
User Response
: Cancel the utility/function or wait until it completes then reissue the Modify Config or Modify Config Update command if necessary. When this message is issued and no utilities or functions are executing, please follow the procedure below:
Assure that no HSC functions or utilities are running in the Complex.
Issue a Display Status command to check the utility/function counters are greater than 0.
If the counters are greater than 0, issue the F CONFIG RESET command.
After the CONFIG RESET function has completed, resume operations.
LMU panel count for LSM
AA:LL
exceeds maximum panel count allowed in CDS. Reconfiguration cannot proceed
Explanation
: During dynamic reconfiguration of an SL8500, the LMU responded with a panel count for the specified LSM that is greater than the maximum panel count in the specified CDS LSM record. If the CREATE field in the DISPLAY CDS is equal to I825061 then the maximum number of panels in the current CDS for an SL8500 is 44 panels per LSM.
System Action
: The NCO update is not executed.
User Response
: A new CDS will need to be created at a minimum level of I813156. After the new CDS is created a MERGECDS from the I825061 CDS to the I813156 CDS will need to be done.
Once the MERGECDS is complete then a MODIFY CONFIG command will initiate dynamic hardware reconfiguration.
Reconfiguration delayed due to switch in progress
Explanation
: A switch in progress for an ACS is causing Reconfiguration to delay. With this delay, Reconfiguration may take as long as 10 minutes more to complete.
System Action
: When the switch has completed, Reconfiguration will continue. If the delay exceeds 10 minutes, Reconfiguration will abort with the SLS4409I message displayed.
User Response
: While Reconfiguration is delayed, optionally use the Display Status command to see which ACS(s) are switching.

Library configuration changes in progress on
HHHHHHHH
Explanation
: Near Continuous Operation (NCO) library configuration changes are in progress on host HHHHHHHH.
System Action
: Configuration change not executed, it is already running. Also, some utilities will not run because NCO is in progress.
User Response
: Wait on NCO configuration to complete before restarting if needed. In some cases NCO will queue the request and will process the queue when the NCO completes. It is possible however at vary online time of an SL3000 ACS that NCO updates may not be initiated. Indications of NCO initiated on an SL3000 would be cap status for that ACS. If the HSC log shows no cap status for a particular SL3000 ACS that was varied online, then the following Operator command must be issued to update the ACS:
MODIFY CONFIG UPDATE ACS(NN)
This can also apply to a newly added SL8500 varied online during NCO REFRESH. In some cases a REFRESHing host may fail or be CANCELed by the Operator.
If the host (HHHHHHHH) is not responding, a RECOVER HOST command (with the FORCE option) may be required. If the RECOVER HOST command is required then a MODIFY CONFIG RESET command may also be required. A DISPLAY CDS command will show the REFRESH bit map of the HOSTs that have yet to complete NCO REFRESH.

RRRRRRRR
; reply M to mount or E to end mount
Explanation
: An operator MOUNT command was entered for Volume volser on Drive DDDD, and the Rectech (RRRRRRRR) of the drive is not the same as the Rectech specified for the volume. Because the media type of the volume may be used in the drive, the operator is asked to confirm the MOUNT command. A reply of 'M' will cause the Mount to proceed; a reply of 'E' will cause the Mount command to end without the volume being mounted. Caution should be used because it is possible to mount a volume written at a high density on a drive that is not capable of reading the high density.
System Action
: The MOUNT command waits for the operator reply.
User Response
: Enter the reply of 'M' or 'E'.

ORH: EXTEND or ABORT? ACS
AA
, SEQNO
BBCCC
, CCC1
, CCC2
, volser
Explanation
: The HSC is asking the system operator what to do with a request whose response wait time interval has expired. Message SLS0681I was previously issued for this request.
AA is the ACSid.
BB is the HOSTid.
CCC is the request sequence number (missing if not on the Active Request Queue)
CCC1 is the queue the request is waiting on:
ACT stands for the Active Request Queue
WTG stands for the Waiting Request Queue
TMP stands for the Temp Outage Queue
CCC2 is the type of request:
DMT - Dismount
MNT - Mount
MOV - Move
SWP - Swap
volser is the volume serial number of the cartridge.
System Action
: Task waits for operator to enter a reply.
User Response
: Answer can be one or more letters of one of the following words:
EXTEND
HSC will extend the response wait time interval another increment to let the LMU finish working on this request. EXTEND is the recommended reply when SLS4682D is first issued for a given LMU request. (Each LMU request is identified by the unique SEQNO.) EXTEND is the recommended response if a dual-LMU switch has just occurred.
ABORT
HSC will free the selected volume so that the operator can enter manual override commands to move the cartridge. ABORT will purge the request from the HSC internal queues. Replying ABORT will probably mean that manual intervention will be necessary. Replying ABORT will also produce an SVCDUMP. A reply of ABORT is recommended if the LMU has reinitialized or if the request has been extended previously.

Cannot enable new CDS
CCCC...CCCC1
;
CCCCCCCC2
Explanation
: An attempt to activate a new CDS data set, CCCC...CCCC1, with a CDs Enable command has failed because the data set is either unknown or unsuitable for use as a CDS copy. CCCCCCCC2 is one of the following reasons:
Invalid BLKSIZE (the BLKSIZE must be 4096)
Invalid DSORG (the DSORG must be PS)
More than one extent
Invalid UCB type (the data set must reside on a DASD)
Could not obtain VTOC info
System Action
: The HSC continues operation with the current CDS definitions.
User Response
: If attempting to activate a renamed existing CDS copy, make sure that the data set was properly renamed and that the DSn parameter was correctly specified on the CDs Enable command. If attempting to relocate a new CDS copy and the reason was ”Could not obtain VTOC info”, then it is likely that the DSn, NEWLoc, NEWVol, and/or NEWUnit parameters were either missing or incorrectly specified. For all other reasons, if the DSn parameter specified the correct data set, then the data set is unsuitable for use as a CDS; reallocate a new CDS data set with the proper attributes and reissue the CDs Enable command.
New CDS
CCCC...CCCC
is of insufficient size; capacity is
DDD1
blocks, required capacity is
DDD2
blocks
Explanation
: An attempt to activate a new CDS data set, CCCC...CCCC, with a CDs Enable command has failed because the data set is not big enough. It can contain only DDD1 4096-byte blocks but the current CDS requires at least DDD2 blocks.
System Action
: The HSC continues operation with the current CDS definitions.
User Response
: Reallocate a larger new CDS data set and reissue the CDs Enable command.

NO ACCESS TO VTSS
SSSSSSSS
TO VERIFY VTV LOCATION
Explanation
: A Mount was requested of Migrated volume VVVVVV on device DDDD. The VTV had previously been resident in VTSS SSSSSSSS. The VTSS could not be accessed by this Host to determine if it contains a copy of the VTV.
System Action
: The Mount fails.

No RTDs for requested media and ACS
Explanation
: A mount was requested of migrated volume VVVVVV on device DDDD. During recall processing, it was determined that there were no RTDs in the ACS that could mount the requested media type.
System Action
: The Mount fails.
User Response
: This is probably due to a configuration change. Determine the MVC media type and ACS location of the volume, or if other MVCs are available to access the VTV.
If the mount is still required, move the MVC to an ACS with RTDs of the correct type and re-drive the mount -or- make other MVC copies available to use for recalling the VTV.
If the reason for the failure is not understood, contact StorageTek Software Support.
(MVC:
MMMMMM
) VTD status changed during Recall/Mount
Explanation
: A Mount was requested of volume VVVVVV on device DDDD.
In the case of a Migrated VTV the message will contain "MVC:MMMMMM" to show the MVC containing the VTV and indicates a change of VTD status during Recall. When the Recall from MVC MMMMMM was complete, VTCS found that the device was associated with a different VTCS request. A common scenario that gives this message is:
A Batch Job requests VTV VVVVVV be mounted on a device DDDD.
As the VTV is migrated, VTCS initiates a Recall.
The Batch Job is cancelled.
A second job requests a different VTV be Mounted on device DDDD.
The Recall of VTV VVVVVV completes.
VTCS attempts to satisfy the original Mount, but finds the device is no longer processing volume VVVVVV
If the VTV was Resident, the message will not contain "MVC:MMMMMM" and indicates a change of VTD status during Mount.
System Action
: The Mount fails.
User Response
:
If the Mount is still required, re-drive it.
If the reason for the failure is not understood, contact StorageTek Software Support.

: A Mount was requested of volume VVVVVV on device DDDD. Because the VTV was Resident in a different VTSS from the one that contains device DDDD, a VTV transfer was initiated. The transfer is achieved by Migrating the VTV from the other VTSS and Recalling it into the VTSS containing device DDDD.
The VTV could not be Migrated from the other VTSS because no MVCs were available.
System Action
: The Mount fails.
User Response
: Determine where VTV VVVVVV is Resident. Then, either:
Change the JCL to select a device in that VTSS, or
Investigate why no MVCs could be selected for Migration. Correct any problems found.
If the Mount is still required, re-drive it. If the reason for the failure is not understood, contact StorageTek Software Support.
PROBLEM DECODING VCI REQUEST
Explanation
: A Mount was requested of volume VVVVVV on device DDDD. An internal error occurred within VTCS while processing the Mount.

INACCESSIBLE/BAD VTSS
SSSSSSSS
REFERENCED
Explanation
: A Mount was requested of volume VVVVVV on device DDDD in VTSS SSSSSSSS. VTV VVVVVV could not be Mounted due to either:
The state of the VTSS. The VTSS could not be accessed by this Host or was not Online.
In the case of a Scratch Mount, the Mount failing and being re-tried too many times. This can happen if another product repeatedly rejects the VTV as not being in Scratch status.
System Action
: The Mount fails.
User Response
: In the case of a specific (non-scratch) Mount, check that VTSS SSSSSSSS can be accessed by, and is Online to, this Host. Correct any problems found.
In the case of a Scratch Mount, determine if another product is rejecting the Mount, e.g. because its scratch definitions are not synchronized with those of VTCS.
Make any necessary changes.
If the Mount is still required, re-drive it.
If the reason for the failure is not understood, contact StorageTek Software Support.
VTV:
VVVVVV
ATTEMPTS TO SELECT A SCRATCH VTV HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED
Explanation
: A scratch mount was requested on device DDDD in VTSS SSSSSSSS. The mount request failed after an internally specified number of VTVs were selected as a scratch and then found to not be a qualified scratch.
Volume VVVVVV, which is listed in the message, is the last VTV found in this state. This error can occur if another product repeatedly rejects each VTV as not being in scratch status or if the VTV scratch status in the CDS is not synchronized with the VTCS internal scratch counts.
System Action
: The VTV scratch mount request will be retried later.
User Response
: Determine if another product is rejecting the mount, e.g. because its scratch definitions are not synchronized with those of VTCS.
Make any necessary changes. If the reason for the failure is not understood, contact StorageTek Software Support.
VTV
VVVVVV
IS STILL MOUNTED
Explanation
: A Mount was requested of volume VVVVVV on device DDDD. VTCS determined that the VTV is still Mounted from a previous Mount.
System Action
: The Mount fails, though VTCS will attempt to re-drive it.
User Response
: Determine whether the previous Mount of VTV VVVVVV was on a different Host to the current Mount. If it was, check that SYSZVOLS ENQueues are being correctly propagated across Hosts.
If the previous Mount was on the same Host, attempt to determine if there was any reason for the Dismount to have failed. Correct any problems found.
If the reason for the failure is not understood, contact StorageTek Software Support.
VVVVVV
IS NOT A VALID VTV
Explanation
: A Mount was requested of volume VVVVVV on device DDDD.
VTCS determined that VVVVVV is not defined in the VTCS Configuration, via a VTVVOL statement, as being Virtual.
System Action
: The Mount fails.
User Response
: Determine why a non-virtual allocation was directed to virtual device (VTD) DDDD. Esoterics, JCL, TAPEREQ statements, ACS routines and User Exits influence allocation and should be reviewed.
Make any necessary corrections.
If the Mount is still required, re-drive it.
If the reason for the failure is not understood, contact StorageTek Software Support.

ECAM ERROR
CC
=CCC
RC=
RRR
Explanation
: VTV VVVVVV failed to mount due to an ECAM error. The ECAM completion code is CCC and the return code is RRR.
System Action
: The Mount fails.
User Response
: Consult the appropriate ELS Guide. If the reason for the failure is not understood, contact StorageTek Software Support.
VTV:
VVVVVV
VOLUME ACCESS CONTROL GAVE RC=
RRRRRRRR
Explanation
: VTV VVVVVV was selected to satisfy a scratch mount, but the mount was rejected because User Exit 14:
set Return Code UX14RJCT (reject).
set Return Code UX14PWRD (password check) and the password check performed by HSC failed.
set Return Code UX14RACF/UX14RACL (RACROUTE check) and the RACROUTE check performed by HSC indicated the requestor does not have access to VTV VVVVVV.
set Return Code UX14RACF/UX14RACL (RACROUTE check) and the RACROUTE check performed by HSC indicated the requestor has READ, but not UPDATE, access to VTV VVVVVV. HSC therefore requested VTV VVVVVV be mounted as write-protected.
set Return Code UX14NWRT (write-protect).
This message may be preceded by one or more of messages SLS2978A, SLS2979I, SLS2980I, SLS2985I or SLS2986I.
X'RRRRRRRR' is the Return Code passed to VTCS by HSC after invoking User Exit 14 and performing any processing requested by User Exit 14.
X'91309130' indicates the request to mount VTV VVVVVV was denied by User Exit 14 or by HSC as a result of a password/RACROUTE check failing.
X'91319131' indicates that VTCS was requested to mount VTV VVVVVV as write-protected. This was rejected by VTCS because the VTV selected to satisfy a scratch mount must be mounted write-enabled.
System Action
: The Mount fails.
User Response
: Look for any preceding message SLS2978A, SLS2979I, SLS2980I, SLS2985I or SLS2986I. Determine why VTCS received Return Code X'RRRRRRRR' and whether this was the correct response for VTV vvvvvv given the details (e.g. jobname) of the address space requesting the mount.
If the mount is still required, make any changes that are needed so that the mount does not fail again, then re-drive the mount.
VTV IS IMPORT BLOCKED
Explanation
: VTV VVVVVV is not accessible as it is still pending completion of an IMPORT request.
System Action
: The Mount fails.
User Response
: Determine if there was an error condition during IMPORT processing. A possible cause of this would be having LOGPOL=REQUIRED specified, but logging is not active at the time of the IMPORT. This condition can be cleared by first correcting the problem that caused the failure and taking the following steps:
Issue a 'Display VTV VVVVVV' and note the line:
Importing:
NNNN
(VTD address)
Issue 'Dismount VVVVVV NNNN'
Attempt to mount the VTV again. If the reason for the failure is not understood, contact StorageTek Software Support.
MVC:
MMMMMM
MMMMMM
Partition map not found
Explanation
: VTV VVVVVV has a migrated copy on MVC MMMMMM, which has been written in partitioned mode. Each partitioned mode MVC should have a record in the CDS that describes the usage of the partitions. This record is known as the partition (allocation) map. VTCS was unable to read the partition map for MVC MMMMMM.
System Action
: The mount fails.
User Response
: Drain or audit MVC MMMMMM, then attempt the mount again.
Recall from tapeplex
TTTTTTTT
failed
Explanation
: In order to mount VTV VVVVVV, VTCS had to recall the VTV from tapeplex TTTTTTTT. The recall failed.
System Action
: The Mount fails.
User Response
: Message SLS7540E will also be issued to give details of the recall failure. Investigate and correct the cause of the failure.
SMC comms error (RC=
RRR
)
Explanation
: In order to mount VTV VVVVVV, VTCS had to issue an internal request to SMC. This command failed due to an SMC communications error. If output, RC=RRR is the non-zero Return Code.
System Action
: The Mount fails.
User Response
: Check the status of SMC on the local tapeplex.
If message SLS6884E was issued, investigate and correct any errors reported.
If message SLS7540E was also issued, indicating a failure to recall VTV VVVVVV from another tapeplex (TTT), perform the same checks on tapeplex TTT as well.
DISMOUNT of
VVVVVV
from
DDDDDD
- Failed
(RC
) - ERRTEXT
Explanation
: The Dismount of volume VVVVVV from VIRTUAL drive DDDDDD failed. The reason for the failure is defined in the ERRTEXT portion of the message. RC is the return code from HSC/VTCS.
Explanations, System Actions and User Responses for the various Reason texts are detailed below. The context in which the message is issued should always be determined, as the text for a given Reason describes the most likely case and may not match the specific case in which it was output.
VTV
VVV222
IS STILL MOUNTED
Explanation
: Volume VVVVVV was being Dismounted from device DDDDDD. VTCS determined that VTV VVV222 is still Mounted on the device.
The return code is:
4 if VVVVVV and VVV222 are different. This typically indicates that Mount VVV222 and Dismount VVVVVV requests were presented to VTCS out of sequence.
12 if VVVVVV and VVV222 are identical.
System Action
: The Dismount fails.
User Response
: If the return code is 4 and VTV VVVVVV is not mounted, there is no error.
Otherwise, determine the status of VTVs VVVVVV and VVV222 (if different). For each VTV, if the VTV is Mounted but should not be, attempt to Unload/Dismount it using the MVS Unload command and the HSC Dismount command.
If the reason for the failure is not understood, contact StorageTek Software Support.

CDS LOGGING FAILURE - HSC RC=
RRRR
Explanation
: The VTCS configuration specifies LOGPOL=REQUIRED, which indicates that certain updates must be logged before they are applied to the CDS.
Volume VVVVVV was successfully dismounted from VTD DDDD. VTCS attempted to log the change of status of VTV VVVVVV, but this failed with RC=RRRR. Message SLS6904E, which is output prior to this message, contains text explaining the meaning of RC=RRRR.
System Action
: VTCS is unable to update the CDS as the attempt to log the update failed. The CDS will incorrectly show VTV VVVVVV as still being mounted on VTD DDDD.
User Response
: The incorrect mount status shown for VTV VVVVVV will clear automatically when the VTV is next mounted and dismounted.
While the VTV is shown as mounted it cannot be migrated, replicated or electronically exported.
To clear the incorrect mount status manually:
Issue command 'Display VTV(vvvvvv)' and note the line:
"Mounted:
dddd
" (VTD address).
Issue command 'DISMount vvvvvv,dddd'.

User Response
: Re-enter the command specifying either ACS, or STation, or list of device numbers.
VARY {ACS
AA
|STation
C...C
} OFFline not allowed; CAP is reserved to this host
Explanation
: An attempt was made to Vary the ACS OFFline, either by specifying the ACSid or the device address of the last STation. The system has detected that a CAP within the ACS is reserved to this host.
System Action
: The command is rejected.
User Response
: Issue the command Display CAP AA to display the status of all CAPs in the ACS. Terminate the CAP activity for the active CAP and reissue the command.
ACS
nn: Recovery of network connection to station
C...C
is now active
Explanation
: The HSC TCP/IP interface has detected an error or timeout condition with station C...C. Network recovery begins.
System Action
: The HSC will continue trying to reestablish the connection between its socket and the remote station socket every 10 seconds for a total of 30 minutes.
User Response
: In a dual LMU environment, a switch to the standby station can be done if other host processing is not greatly impacted. Otherwise, diagnose and correct the network problem with the LMU or host. Once corrected, the next iteration for network connectivity will reestablish communication to the LMU.
ACS
nn
: Recovery of network connection to station

Explanation
: The HSC has successfully recovered network connectivity to station C...C.
System Action
: The HSC will redrive LMU requests that have accumulated during recovery.
User Response
: None
ACS
nn
: Unable to reestablish network connection to station
C...C
Explanation
: The recovery process to reestablish network connectivity to station C...C has timed out.
System Action
: HSC discontinues further connection attempts to the station. The station is considered in error. In a single LMU environment, the ACS is marked offline. In a dual LMU environment, the ACS is marked offline when network recovery has timed out on both stations.
User Response
: In a single LMU environment, the ACS can be varied online after the network problem is corrected. In a dual LMU environment, the ACS can be varied online after recovery attempts for both stations have timed out. Note, in both instances all outstanding LMU requests are purged.
VARY ACS
AA
ONLINE/OFFLINE failed because the ACS is unallocated
Explanation
: The HSC has determined that this ACS is UNALLOCATED.
System Action
: None, the ACS remains in OFFLINE status.
User Response
: If the ACS identifier was entered incorrectly, re-issue the command specifying the correct ACS identifier.
TCP/IP is not available. LMUPATH HOST NAME
CCCCCCC
is unresolvable. Reply I to IGNORE
Explanation
: HSC has attempted to resolve HOST NAME CCCCCCCC specified on a LMUPATH statement. TCP/IP is not available and CCCCCCCC is unresolvable.
System Action
: HSC will attempt to resolve HOST NAME CCCCCCCC every 10 seconds until it is successful or a reply of I is given to SLS6016D.
User Response
: Initialize TCP/IP or reply I to message SLS6016D. If a reply of I is given then HSC will continue to initialize. Once TCP/IP is available the LMUPDEF command will need to be re-issued and then the ACS will have to be varied ONLINE.
HSC version incompatible with DR test
Explanation
: An attempt to start the HSC failed because its version or release level conflicts with the DR test environment. The CDS indicates there is either an active DR test or the CDS is the DR test CDS.
System Action
: HSC initialization terminates.
User Response
: Only HSC 5.0 and above systems can participate in a DR test. Either terminate the DR test or start an HSC/HSC on this host at 5.0 or above.
ASCOMM failure for DRTEST {START|STOP}, RC=
XXXXXXXX
Explanation
: A DRTEST request was sent to the HSC via the Address Space Communications Service (ASCOMM), but that component failed with a return code of XXXXXXXX.
System Action
: The DRTEST request fails.
User Response
: Look up the ASCOMM return code in the appropriate ELS guide to try to determine the cause for the failure. If unable to remedy the error, contact StorageTek Software Support.
DRTEST {START|STOP} error:
CCCC...CCCC
Explanation
: A DRTEST request was sent to the HSC but an error condition was detected that prevented the request from being performed. CCCC...CCCC details the reason for the error and is one of the following:
Unrecognized DR test request
DR test environment not established (run DRTEST CREATE)
DR test request not permitted from DR test site
DR test already active
DR test not active
DR test request requires VTCS to be active
DR test START not allowed with back-level systems active (hostid)
Non-spare/shared DR test VTSS not offline
CAP(s) in the DR test ACS found active
CAP(s) in the DR test ACS in automatic mode
Not all hosts adapted the DR test state
System Action
: The DRTEST request fails.
User Response
: The explanations above are fairly self-explanatory. You must run the DRTEST CREATE utility function to create the DRTEST CDS before a DR test START request can be issued. All CAPs in the DR test ACS must be idle and in manual mode during a DR test. VTCS must be up and the non-shared DR test VTSS(s) varied offline to the production site. If the CDRT Clean Up software feature is installed, then for DRTEST START to be successful, all active hosts sharing the same CDS must have the feature installed. If that is found not to be the case the first back-level system discovered is reported in the error message as (hostid).
DRTEST {PRIMEPRD|CREATE|RESET|START|STOP} successful
Explanation
: A DRTEST request completed successfully
System Action
: The HSC continues processing. If a DR test was started, some operational restrictions are now in effect such as: CAPs must remain in manual mode; dynamic reconfiguration is not allowed; Audit and Move utilities are not allowed; a DR test VTSS that is not shared with the DR test system cannot be varied online.
The MNTD command to set FLOAT(ON) or EJCTAUTO(ON) is permitted during an active DR test, but these options are not honored until the DR test is stopped. If a DR test was stopped, normal production operation continues without the above operational restrictions.
User Response
: None
Parameter {FLOAT(ON)|EJCTAUTO(ON)} for acs
XX
[not allowed for DRTEST system]|[set but not honored during active DRTEST]
Explanation
: A MNTD command specified FLOAT(ON) or EJCTAUTO(ON). If this is a DR test system, the parameter is not allowed. If this is a production system with an active DR test, the parameter is allowed but is not honored while the DR test is active.
System Action
: The HSC continues processing. If this is a DR test system, the command is rejected. If this is a production system with an active DR test, the command is accepted, but the parameter is not honored until after the DR test is terminated.
User Response
: If this is a DR test system, the command cannot be issued with the specified parameter. If this is a production system with an active DR test, no action is required. The parameter will be honored when the DR test is stopped.
{CAPPREF AUTO|ENTER|EJECT|MOVE|SCREDIST|VARY ONLINE} rejected for {CAP
XX:XX:XX
|ACS
XX
|STATION
XXXX
}, DR test active
Explanation
: A CAPPREF, ENTER, EJECT, MOVE or VARY command, or a EJECT, MOVE, or SCREDIST utility function was requested but could not be performed because it conflicts with an active DR test. The CAP, ACS, or STATION where the function was not permitted is identified.
System Action
: The HSC continues processing. The requested function cannot be performed until the DR test is terminated.
User Response
: Wait until the DR test is terminated before attempting to perform the requested function on a production site HSC. The requested function can never be performed from a DR test site HSC.
{AUDIT|EJECT|MOVE|SCRATCH UPDATE|SCRATCH REDISTRIBUTION} Utility not permitted, DR test active
Explanation
: A HSC SLUADMIN Audit, Eject, Move, Scratch Update, or Scratch Redistribution utility function was requested but could not be performed because it conflicts with an active DR test.
System Action
: The utility function terminates.
User Response
: Wait until the DR test is terminated before attempting to execute the SLUADMIN utility function on a production site HSC. The utility function can never be performed from a DR test site HSC.
DR test {started|not started|stopped|not stopped} {successfully| unsuccessfully} on {host
CCCCCCCC
|all hosts}
Explanation
: A DRTEST request was sent to an active HSC system. This message tells of the success or failure to set the DR test state on a particular host (CCCCCCCC) or for all hosts (from the controlling HSC).
System Action
: The HSC continues processing.
User Response
: If the message indicates the DR test was started or stopped successfully on all hosts, then continue with the DR test as desired. If the DR test state is not started or stopped successfully on a particular host, then investigate the cause on that host, possibly recycle the HSC there. If you are unable to remedy the problem, contact StorageTek Software Support.
ENTER rejected; TLSM ACS
XX
does not equal CAP ACS
YY
Explanation
: An attempt to process an ENter command was rejected because the LSMid specified by the TLSM parameter resides in a different ACS than the CAP.
System Action
: The command is rejected.
User Response
: Re-enter the command specifying a CAPid and a TLSM LSMid in the same ACS.
No scratch volumes meet eject criteria in ACS
AA
Explanation
: An EJect command was issued specifying the SCRTCH parameter. A CAP was requested from ACS AA or no CAP identifier was specified and the command defaulted to ACS 00. ACS AA did not contain any scratch volumes as requested by the parameters of the EJect command.
System Action
: The EJect command continues.
User Response
: Re-enter the EJect command specifying scratch volume criteria for scratch volumes contained in ACS AA.
RELEASE
AA:LL:CC
rejected; host
CCCCCCCC
is active
Explanation
: The RELease command was issued for the specified host, but the host was identified as active.
System Action
: The CAP is not released.
User Response
: Physically verify that the host in question is inactive.
If the host is active, issue the RELease command on the specified host.
If and only if the host is inactive, issue the RECover host command with the FORCE option. Then re-issue the RELease command specifying the host operand.
Caution:
Use the FORCE operand with great care. Make sure the specified host is inactive before issuing the RECover command with this operand. Forced recovery of an active host requires that the HSC on that host be recycled. If the host was active at the time of the RECover host command execution, unexpected abends may occur during tape activity or when the HSC on the host is recycled.Cannot create new {CDS|JOURNAL} DDNAME
CCCC...CCCC1
;
CCCCCCCC2
Explanation
: An attempt to create a DR test data set, CCCC...CCCC1, with the SLUADMIN utility has failed because the data set is either unknown or unsuitable for use as a CDS copy or journal data set. CCCCCCCC2 is one of the following reasons:
Invalid BLKSIZE (the BLKSIZE must be 4096)
Invalid DSORG (the DSORG must be PS)
More than one extent
Invalid UCB type (the data set must reside on a DASD)
Could not obtain VTOC info
System Action
: The SLUADMIN utility terminates.
User Response
: When attempting to create the DR test data set, make sure that the data set was specified correctly on the SWUNEWx or SLSJRNXX DD statement. If the reason was ”Could not obtain VTOC info”, then it is likely that the DSN= parameter (or VOL=SER= parameter for uncataloged data sets) was either missing or incorrectly specified. For all other reasons, if the DSN= parameter specified the correct data set, then the data set is unsuitable for use as a CDS copy or journal data set; reallocate a new data set with the proper attributes and re-execute the SLUADMIN utility.
New CDS
CCCC...CCCC
is of insufficient size; capacity is
DDD1
blocks, required capacity is
DDD2

: Message SLS6035E is preceded by another message giving a more detailed explanation of the error condition. If the error cannot be resolved, contact StorageTek Software Support.
RESET not allowed:
CCCC....CCCC
Explanation
: An attempt to RESET the CDRT flags in a CDS via the SLUADMIN utility was disallowed. CCCC....CCCC details the reason for the error and is one of the following:
Cannot reset DR test CDS
DR test is active
System Action
: The SLUADMIN utility terminates.
User Response
: RESET is used to remove all CDRT flags in a production CDS set by a previous execution of the SLUADMIN utility. It is not used against a DR test CDS. RESET cannot be performed if a DR test is active. Wait until the DR test is terminated before attempting to RESET the production CDS.
Journal

DD statements for number of DR Host IDs
Explanation
: An attempt to create the required DR test Journal data sets with the SLUADMIN utility has failed because there were an insufficient number of SLSJRNxx DD statements for the SLUADMIN utility job.
System Action
: The SLUADMIN utility terminates.
User Response
: There needs to be two Journal data sets per DR host defined in the SLUADMIN jobstep. These should be SWUJRN00 and SWUJRN01 for the first host id, SWUJRN02 and SWUJRN03 for the second host id, etc. Allocate the proper number of Journal data sets, specify the correct SWUJRNxx DD statements, and re-execute the SLUADMIN utility.

not in MANUAL mode or not IDLE
Explanation
: An attempt to create the DR test environment with the SLUADMIN utility has failed because of the CAP status in the production HSC environment.
System Action
: The SLUADMIN utility terminates.
User Response
: All CAPs in the DR test ACS must be in Manual mode and idle. Issue a DISPLAY CAP command from an active HSC system. If a CAP in the DR test ACS is active, stop the Enter or Eject operation from the controlling HSC. If a CAP in the DR test ACS is in Automatic mode, use the CAPPREF command to set the CAP to manual mode. Then re-execute the SLUADMIN utility.
RELEASE
AA:LL:CC
rejected; CAP is active on host
CCCCCCCC
Explanation
: The RELease command was issued for CAP AA:LL:CC, but the CAP is active on host CCCCCCCC.
System Action
: The CAP is not released.
User Response
: Physically verify that the host in question is active.
If the host is active, issue the RELease command on the specified host.
If the host is inactive, re-issue the RELease command specifying the host operand.
Addition of HOSTID will exceed HSC maximum of 16
Explanation
: An attempt to create the DR test environment has failed because of the number of host ids specified on the HOSTID parameter of the DRTEST control statement plus the number of hosts already defined in the CDS exceeds the maximum of 16.
System Action
: The DRTEST function terminates with a return code of 8.
User Response
: If possible, reduce the number of HOSTIDs specified for the DR test environment. If the number of hosts in the production HSC environment is already at the maximum of 16, consider using the ELS client/server feature to reduce the number of HSC hosts needed and then re-generate the CDS with fewer host ids and re-execute the DRTEST function.

The host id, CCCCCCCC, specified on the HOSTID parameter
The ACS id, AA, specified on the DRACS parameter
The VTSS name, CCCCCCCC, specified on the DRVTSS parameter
The storage manager name, CCCCCCCC, specified on the STORMNGR parameter
System Action
: The SLUADMIN utility terminates.
User Response
: All HOSTID host ids must exist in the current production HSC/VTCS CDS. If the HOSTID host id was incorrectly specified, correct the specification and re-execute the SLUADMIN utility. If the HOSTID host id does not exist in the production CDS, add it with the HSC SLUADMIN SLUSET utility function. Similarly, the ACS ID, VTSS names and storage manager id must exist in the production HSC CDS. If either of these were incorrectly specified, correct the error. Then re-execute the SLUADMIN utility.
Cannot create DRTEST CDS; DR test is active
Explanation
: An attempt to create the DR test environment with the SLUADMIN utility has failed because the utility has detected an active DR test.
System Action
: The SLUADMIN utility terminates.
User Response
: Stop the current DR test; issue the DRTEST STOP command and re-execute the SLUADMIN utility.
DRTEST START/STOP parameter requires HSC to be active on this system
Explanation
: An attempt to start or stop the DR test with the SLUADMIN utility has failed because the HSC is currently not active on this system.
System Action
: The SLUADMIN utility terminates without starting or stopping the DR test.
User Response
: The HSC (and VTCS) must be active on the system where the DRTEST START or STOP is issued. When the HSC is active, consider using the HSC DRTEST command to start of stop the DR test. If you desire to create the DR test environment and start the DR test in one operation from the SLUADMIN utility, then assure that the HSC and VTCS are both fully initialized on the system and re-execute the SLUADMIN utility.

Initiating swap of MVC
VVVVVV
from RTD
DDDDDD
Explanation
: A data check was encountered when reading or writing to MVC VVVVVV upon RTD DDDDDD.
System Action
: The current action will be attempted once more upon another RTD. If the retry also fails upon a different drive, the MVC will be marked in error and an attempt will be made to use an alternate MVC.
User Response
: The reason for the error should be investigated. Check the SYSLOG for other indications as to the nature of the error.
If the MVC is damaged or suspect, then use the VT MVCDRAIN command to remove any VTVs from the MVC.
However, if the error occurred on a VOLSAFE (WORM) tape, do not drain the MVC without the recommendation of Oracle/StorageTek Support. Once a WORM tape is drained, it can no longer be used for migration and must be replaced.
If the problem keeps recurring upon the same RTD, use the VT VARY command to vary the RTD offline and contact StorageTek Hardware Support.
CDS is not configured for VTCS
Explanation
: The VTCS component is installed and enabled, but no configuration information was found in the CDS.

No virtual devices defined for VTSS
XXXXXXXX
Explanation
: There are no valid virtual devices defined for communicating with VTSS XXXXXXXX. This could be caused by a hardware error or because the devices in the configuration are not virtual devices upon the correct VTSS.
System Action
: Processing continues, but the VTSS will be considered as being in an offline mode. VTVs in VTSS XXXXXXXX are still accessible via other VTSSs as long as there is a copy of the VTV upon an accessible MVC. Continued running of the VTSS in offline mode will result in old copies or duplicate copies of VTVs being left within the offline VTSS.
User Response
: Review the SYSLOG to see if there is a reason for the virtual device not being found.
Check and review the VTCS configuration. Check and review the MVS and processor configuration. This message will normally be proceeded by SLS6675E messages.

: None
Automatic space reclaim scheduled for ACS|MCPOOL
AA
|
PPPPPPPP
Explanation
: The number of MVCs eligible for space reclamation within ACS AA or named MVCPOOL PPPPPPPP has exceeded the start threshold and a space reclaim request has been submitted.
If reclaim is scheduled against an ACS, preference will be given to reclaiming space from eligible MVCs in ACS AA.
Eligible MVCs in other ACSs may also be reclaimed if the maximum number of MVCs that may be reclaimed has not been reached.
If reclaim is scheduled against an MVCPool, only MVCs from that MVCPool may be reclaimed.
System Action
: HSC processing continues.
User Response

VVVVVV
Explanation
: A request needs to access the volume VVVVVV from the VTSS XXXXXXXX. There are no compatible RTDs attached to the VTSS to support access to the volume.
System Action
: The request is failed.
User Response
: Review the VOLATTR definitions for the MVCs. This condition is most likely to occur in a multi-VTSS environment where there is an inconsistent RTD device mix between the VTSSs. It may be necessary to modify JCL to use a VTSS with a suitable RTD.
VTSS
XXXXXXXX
has no devices in ACS
AA
for accessing MVC
VVVVVV
Explanation
: A request needs to access the volume VVVVVV from the VTSS XXXXXXXX. The VTSS has no suitable RTDs in ACS AA that support the volume.
System Action
: An RTD in another ACS is selected.
User Response
: Operator action will be required to remove the volume from its current ACS and place it into the ACS that is finally selected.
This condition is most likely to occur in a multi-VTSS environment where there is limited access between VTSSs and the different ACSs. In order to stop the manual intervention, it may be necessary to modify JCL to use a VTSS with a suitable RTD.
RTD

Explanation
: An error has been reported upon RTD DDDDDD. The reason for the error is indicated by RRRRRRRR. XXXXXXXX contains the sense bytes reported back to the VTSS from the RTD.
System Action
: If required, an error record will be written to SYS1.LOGREC. Depending upon the nature of the error and the processing at the time, the RTD may be made temporarily unavailable and the request retried upon a different RTD. If possible an alternative MVC may be used.
User Response
: The reason for the error should be investigated. If the problem keeps recurring upon the same RTD, use the VT VARY command to vary the RTD offline and contact StorageTek Software Support.
If the problem follows the MVC, then the media is probably damaged in some way. Attempt recovery of the data from the MVC by the use of the VT MVCDRAIN EJECT command.
However, if the error occurred on a VOLSAFE (WORM) tape, do not drain the MVC without the recommendation of Oracle/StorageTek Support. Once a WORM tape is drained, it can no longer be used for migration and must be replaced.

VVVVVV
duplicate deleted from
XXXXXXX2
Explanation
: When checking the status of VTV VVVVVV upon VTSS XXXXXXX1, a duplicate or out-of-date version of the VTV was found upon VTSS XXXXXXX2.
System Action
: The copy of the VTV upon VTSS XXXXXXX2 is deleted.
User Response
: This message can occur during normal operations if VTSS XXXXXXX2 has been offline and extra copies of VTV VVVVVV were created in another VTSS while VTSS XXXXXXX2 was offline.
For example, the sequence of events below will generate message SLS6631I:
VTV VVVVVV is created in VTSS XXXXXXX2.
VTV VVVVVV is migrated, but left resident in VTSS XXXXXXX2.
VTSS XXXXXXX2 is varied offline.
VTV VVVVVV is recalled into VTSS XXXXXXX1. VTCS will not be able to delete the copy of VTV VVVVVV in offline VTSS XXXXXXX2.
VTSS XXXXXXX2 is varied online.
Otherwise, this problem should be investigated. The message may indicate that VTCS has lost synchronization with the contents of the VTSSs.
If possible, attempt to track back through the life of the VTV to see if there are any other events that may have caused this problem.
Consider running the AUDIT VTSS utility to reconcile the contents of the VTSSs with the CDS.
If the problem persists or is not an isolated incident, contact StorageTek Software Support.

Waiting for host
HHHH
To complete CONFIG RESET for VTSS
XXXXXXXX
Explanation
: When the CONFIG utility was last run, the RESET parameter was specified. As a result, the host HHHH is at present clearing and resetting internal configuration of VTSS XXXXXXXX.
System Action
: The startup of the VTSS server is delayed until the indicated host has completed its processing.
User Response
: If the host HHHH is not active or has suffered some kind of failure, it may be necessary to correct the problem upon the other host and restart HSC. This will restart the processing.
VTV
VVVVVV
not migrated from VTSS
XXXXXXXXX
because of status change
Explanation
: When attempting to migrate VTV VVVVVV out to an MVC from VTSS XXXXXXXXX, it was found that the status of the VTV had changed since the command was originally issued.
System Action
: Migration of the VTV is skipped.
User Response
: This is only a warning. Because there is a significant delay between the validation performed when the command was issued and the time at which the migration is attempted, it is quite possible for another request to update the VTV record and thus invalidate the original reason for the migrate.
The following may cause a VTV status change if it occurs after validation is performed and before migration is attempted:
The VTV is scratched.
The VTV is mounted, but not dismounted.
The VTV is migrated and deleted from the VTSS by another VTCS task.
The VTV is read/written (hence mounted and dismounted) by an application program.
VTV
VVVVVV
failed migration from VTSS
XXXXXXXX
because of a busy condition
Explanation
: When attempting to migrate VTV VVVVVV out to a MVC from VTSS XXXXXXXX, the VTV busy condition was returned by the VTSS.
System Action
: Migration of the VTV is skipped.
User Response
: This problem should be investigated. The message implies that the VTSS is already performing some other kind of processing against the VTV. It is possible that VTCS has lost synchronization with the contents of the VTSS or that a hardware error condition exists.
If possible, attempt to track back through the life of the VTV to see if there are any other events that may have caused this problem. If the problem persists or is not an isolated incident, contact StorageTek Software Support.
MVC
VVVVVV
incorrectly mounted on drive
DDDDDD
Explanation
: The MVC VVVVVV was found mounted upon RTD DDDDDD and this was not the MVC that was expected.
System Action
: The RTD is unloaded and the wait continues for the original MVC that was requested.
If the mount is still not satisfied after 15 minutes, the mount will time out and the MVC will be marked as LOST.
User Response
: This could have been caused by volume being left upon a drive. In this case, the unload should allow the original mount to succeed.
If the correct MVC was loaded in response to the original mount request, then the appearance of this message indicates that the MVC is mislabeled. In this case, the MVC must be reinitialized.
MVC

VVVVVV
Explanation
: A mount request has been received for a VTV VVVVVV and it is in a fenced state. The contents for the VTV are in an unpredictable state and it is unsafe to perform the mount.
The VTV can be reused once it has been scratched and used for a successful scratch mount.
System Action
: The mount request will be failed.
User Response
: If possible, attempt to track back through the life of the VTV to see if there are any other events that may have caused this problem.
The data upon the VTV will need to be reconstructed. If the problem persists or is not an isolated incident, contact StorageTek Software Support.
VTV
VVVVVV

System Action
: HSC processing continues.
User Response
: None
CDS is not compatible with VTCS
Explanation
: The CDS can not be processed by this level of VTCS because it either does not understand the format of the CDS or because an optional feature has been activated for which there is no programming support.
System Action
: VTCS processing terminates. If VTCS was starting up in an HSC/VTCS subsystem, it will close down.
User Response
: Ensure that the CDS was configured using the current version of the VTCS libraries, or a version of the VTCS libraries that produces a compatible CDS.
Additionally, check to see whether the correct maintenance has been applied to these libraries and that HCS/VTCS has been started up using the correct version of the code.
Finally, when running different levels of VTCS, read the appropriate documentation to see whether any steps have been omitted or been done incorrectly.
If the CDS has been configured correctly, refer the problem to StorageTek Software Support.

}
RRRRRRRR
Explanation
: The request of type XXXXXXXX has failed. The request was optionally directed towards VTD DDDDDD. The current MVC being processed was MMMMMM and the current VTV was VVVVVV. RRRRRRRR indicates the main reason for the request being failed. This may be either a textual explanation or an indication of the internal HSC return code that triggered the problem.
This is a general indication for the abnormal termination of a request. This could be caused by a hardware error, a software error, operator intervention, or some other unresolvable error condition.
System Action
: The indicated request is terminated.
User Response
: This message is normally the result of some other failure condition. Review the SYSLOG to see if there any other message that give a further indication as to the nature of the error. Depending upon the nature of the error, the original command or utility may need to be retried with the same or different parameters. If the error is the result of a software error, then refer the problem to StorageTek Software Support.

: The RTD DDDDDDDD was found to be unconfigured and an attempt was made to configure the device according to the details in the CDS. The request failed with Completion Code X'CCC', Reason Code X'RRR'. XXXXXX indicates whether it was the VTSS or a (Virtual) Library that reported the error.
System Action
: The RTD is left in a broken state.
User Response
: Check that the RTD configuration is correct.
Check that the RTD is not online to another system. If the problem cannot be resolved, contact StorageTek Hardware Support.
XXXXXXXX
scratch pool empty (OF
nnn
GB... VTVS), reply R to retry
Explanation
:
If the message is 'XXXXXXXX Scratch pool empty, Reply R to retry' subpool XXXXXXXX contains no Scratch VTVs.
If the message is 'XXXXXXXX Scratch pool empty of nnnGB VTVs, Reply R to retry' subpool XXXXXXXX contains no Scratch VTVs that would satisfy a request for an nnnGB Scratch VTV (where 'nnnGB...' is one or more of 0.4GB, 0.8GB, 2.0GB, 4.0GB, or 32.0GB).
System Action
:
The scratch levels will be rechecked every 15 minutes.
If the message is 'XXXXXXXX Scratch pool empty, Reply R to retry' any scratch mounts for the indicated subpool will be placed on hold until a scratch volume becomes available.
If the message is 'XXXXXXXX Scratch pool empty of nnnGB VTVs, Reply R to retry' any scratch mounts for an nnnGB VTV from the indicated subpool will be placed on hold until a suitable scratch volume becomes available.
User Response
: Run the scratch synchronization utility for HSC to ensure that the CDS contains details of the latest scratch volumes from the TMC.
Answer 'R' to this prompt to retry any held scratch mount requests.
Check the SCRPOOL definitions for HSC to ensure that they cover the correct virtual volume ranges. Consider adding extra ranges of VTV volumes to the CDS.
Note that scratches for which the only copy is resident are restricted in their ability to be reused. This is where the nnnGB size restriction originates.
Invalid utility control statement
Explanation
: A SWSADMIN utility has encountered a continuation or other general syntax error (e.g. unmatched parentheses) on a utility control statement, or the concatenated control statement (including 9 bytes of SWSADMIN overhead) exceeds the maximum length of 32000 characters.
System Action
: The control statement is ignored and Return Code 8 is set.
User Response
: Correct the error and resubmit the SWSADMIN utility job.
Configured virtual drive
DDDDDD
marked nonexistent
Explanation
: The VTD DDDDDD has been defined in the VTCS configuration but does not exist within the VTSS. This is most likely to occur if the configuration defines more devices than the VTSS model supports.
System Action
: HSC processing continues.
User Response
: Review the VTCS configuration.
Invalid range
VVVVV1
-
VVVVV2
specified
Explanation
: The range of volumes VVVVV1-VVVVV2 specified in the utility or command does not constitute a valid volume range.
System Action
: The command or utility will fail.
User Response
: Correct the volume range in error and resubmit the command or utility.
VTSS:
XXXXXXXX
VTD:
DDDDDD
configuration error RC=
RRRRRRRR
subsystem info:
ZZZZZ1
/
ZZZZZ2
/
ZZZZZ3
Explanation
: While validating the configuration of the virtual drive DDDDDD attached to VTSS XXXXXXXX, either an error of RRRRRRRR was returned to an ECAM request or a configuration mismatch was detected.
The VTSS attached to the device returned a subsystem name of ZZZZZ1, a device Id of ZZZZZ2 and a frame serial number of ZZZZZ3.
If an ECAM error occurred, either something in MVS or the hardware prevented communication with the VTD or the device addressed is not a VTD.
The RRRRRRRR return codes are as follows:
00000004 - In response to VTCS validating the configuration of a VTD in VTSS XXXXXXXX, ECAM returned a subsystem name (ZZZZZ1) other than 99999999, blanks or XXXXXXXX.
00000008 - In response to VTCS validating the configuration of a VTD other than the first in VTSS XXXXXXXX, ECAM returned a different subsystem name of ZZZZZ1. Such a name mismatch should only ever occur on the first VTD.
0000000C - In response to VTCS validating the configuration of a VTD other than the first in VTSS XXXXXXXX, ECAM returned frame serial number ZZZZZ3 which differs from the frame serial number returned from checking the first VTD.
6A40FF0C - EXCP failed, unknown reason
6A40FF10 - EXCP failed, interface control check
6A40FF14 - EXCP failed, no comm path to the VTD
6A40FF18 - UCBLOOK failed
6A40FF1C - UCB capture failed
6A40FE00 - Improperly formatted ECAM request (VTCS code error)
System Action
: The VTD will be marked as broken and will not be used.
User Response
: Check and review the VTCS configuration.
Ensure that the number and order of the VTDs in the configuration match that of the VTSS.
Check and review the hardware configuration of the MVS system. Ensure that the VTD addresses point to the correct VTSS and that all CHPIDs and paths for the failing device are online and operational.
If running under an MVS guest, ensure that the VM configuration is correct. Also, ensure that the VTDs are attached to the MVS guest with the 'NOASSIGN' option and that any real to virtual device mapping is correct.
If this message (with RC=6A40FF0C) occurs for every VTD followed by message SLS6608E and none of the responses listed above resolve the problem, then this is a VTSS hardware and/or microcode problem. Have your Oracle customer engineer check the VTSS op panel and logs for error conditions. A DAC condition (data assurance check) is a known cause of this error. If a DAC has occurred, you will need to run a VTSS Audit after the DAC condition has been reset by the customer engineer.
HSC/VTCS subsystem maintenance level is not correct
Explanation
: A SWSADMIN function or VTCS Programmatic Interface (PGMI) request requires that the load libraries used by the HSC/VTCS subsystem and by the SWSADMIN function or VTCS PGMI request are at a certain release or PUT level.
System Action
: The function/request terminates.
User Response
: Ensure that the load libraries used by the SWSADMIN function or VTCS PGMI request are the same as those used by the HSC/VTCS subsystem that is active. Re-execute the function/request once the correction has been made.
Copy of VTV
VVVVVV
on VTSS
XXXXXXXX
has become inaccesible
Explanation
: While performing a check of VTV VVVVVV upon VTSS XXXXXXXX, the VTSS has indicated that the entire VTV contents have become unreadable for some reason.
System Action
: Recovery will be attempted using any other copies of the VTV. If the validity of the VTV contents is suspect, then the VTV will be fenced.
User Response
: This problem is the result of a previous hardware error on the VTSS. Contact StorageTek Hardware Support to ensure that the original problem has been logged and/or reported.
If possible, attempt to track back through the life of the VTV to see if there are any other events that may have caused this problem.
If a valid copy of the VTV exists on an MVC, then the data upon the VTV is still accessible. Otherwise, the contents of the VTV will have been lost and the data will need to be reconstructed by other means.
Unexpected copy of
VTV
VVVVVV
found on VTSS
XXXXXXXX
Explanation
: A copy of VTV VVVVVV was found upon VTSS XXXXXXXX when the CDS indicates that the VTV should not be present.
System Action
: Recovery will be attempted using the copy found on the VTSS.
User Response
: This message can occur during normal operations (and does not indicate an error) if VTSS XXXXXXXX has been offline and extra copies of VTV VVVVVV were created in another VTSS while VTSS XXXXXXXX was offline.
For example, the sequence of events below will generate message SLS6679E:
VTV VVVVVV is created in VTSS XXXXXXXX
VTV VVVVVV is migrated, but left resident in VTSS XXXXXXXX.
VTSS XXXXXXXX is varied offline.
VTV VVVVVV is recalled into another VTSS. VTCS will not be able to delete the copy of VTV VVVVVV in offline VTSS XXXXXXXX.
VTSS XXXXXXXX is varied online.
Otherwise, this problem should be investigated. The message may indicate that VTCS has lost synchronization with the contents of the VTSSs.
If possible, attempt to track back through the life of the VTV to see if there are any other events that may have caused this problem.
Consider running the AUDIT VTSS utility to reconcile the contents of the VTSSs with the CDS.
If the problem persists or is not an isolated incident, contact StorageTek Software Support.
Copy of VTV
VVVVVV
missing from VTSS
XXXXXXXX
Explanation
: While performing a check of VTV VVVVVV, the copy that should have existed upon VTSS XXXXXXXX has been found to be missing.
System Action
: Recovery will be attempted using any other copies of the VTV. If the validity of the VTV contents is suspect, then the VTV will be fenced.
User Response
: This problem should be investigated. The message implies that VTCS has lost synchronization with the contents of the VTSS.
If possible, attempt to track back through the life of the VTV to see if there are any other events that may have caused this problem
Consider running the VTSS audit utility to reconcile the contents of the VTSSs with the CDS.
If at least one copy of the VTV already exists upon another MVC, then the data upon the VTV is still accessible. Otherwise, the contents of the VTV will have been lost and the data will need to be reconstructed by other means.

XXXXXXXX
RETURNED
TTTTTT
ERROR CC=
CCC
RC=
RRR
Explanation
: An operation between RTD DDDDDDDD and VTSS XXXXXXXX has failed the request with a completion code of CCC and a return code of RRR. TTTTTT is the type of request that failed. It is either UUIREQ for an operation to a virtual library or ECAM for an operation to tape device. This could be caused by a hardware error, a software error, operator intervention, or an unresolvable error condition.
System Action
: Depending upon the nature of the error and the processing at the time, the RTD may be made temporarily unavailable and the request retried upon a different RTD. If possible an alternative MVC may be used.
User Response
: The reason for the error should be investigated. Check the SYSLOG for other indications as to the nature of the error. If the problem keeps recurring upon the same RTD, use the VT VARY command to vary the RTD offline and contact StorageTek Hardware Support.
RTD
DDDDDD
mount of
VVVVVV
timed out
Explanation
: A request has been made of HSC to mount MVC VVVVVV upon RTD DDDDDD, but the RTD did not come ready within 15 minutes.
System Action
: If an alternate MVC can be used, the request will be retried using the alternate MVC. If the volume is being used for migration, the request will be retried using a newly selected volume.
If it is not possible to retry the request, then the request will be cancelled.
The affected MVC will be marked as LOST. If a subsequent mount of the MVC is successful, then this status will be cleared.
User Response
: Check the SYSLOG to see whether HSC detected some kind of problem when attempting the mount.
Ensure that all MVCs are library resident. If mounts cannot be satisfied using certain drives in the library, attempt to run with these RTDs offline.
If the problem keeps recurring upon the same RTD, use the VT VARY command to vary the RTD offline and contact StorageTek Hardware Support.
RTD
DDDDDDDD
volume mounted not an MVC
Explanation
: The volume just mounted upon RTD DDDDDDDD is not a valid MVC.
System Action
: If the mount was as a result of a migrate request, a new volume will be selected and the request will be retried.
As the MVC has been previously used and known to be valid, it is assumed that the wrong volume was mounted upon the drive. The request will be retried.
User Response
: Check the SYSLOG to see whether HSC detected some kind of problem when attempting the mount.
Check the integrity of the MVC. It is possible that a previous event has somehow corrupted the MVC. Ensure that sufficient rules and processes are in place to stop overwrites of MVCs by external jobs.
If the problem keeps reoccurring upon the same RTD, use the VT VARY command to vary the RTD offline and contact StorageTek Hardware Support.
RTD

System Action
: A new volume will be selected and the migrate requests will be retried.
User Response
: Check the SYSLOG to see whether HSC detected some kind of problem when attempting the mount. Check the physical media to ensure that it is not read protected.If the problem keeps recurring upon the same RTD, use the VT VARY command to vary the RTD offline and contact StorageTek Hardware Support.
FFFFFF
found invalid version of
VTV
VVVVVV
on VTSS
SSSSSSSS
Explanation
: A crosscheck between the contents of VTSS SSSSSSSS and the CDS whilst performing function FFFFFF has failed.
The CDS and the hardware contain different versions of the VTV. This could be due to running with the wrong CDS or as a result of a software problem in VTCS.
System Action
: The function that encountered the problem will be aborted. This may result in orphaned copies of VTVs being left in the VTSS.
User Response
: Contact StorageTek Software Support.
This problem should be investigated. The message implies that VTCS has lost synchronization with the contents of the hardware.
The VTSS indicated and any MVCs where the affected VTV resides should be audited. Without performing these actions, it maybe impossible to access the contents of the VTV.
Also investigate the HSC JOBLOG from all systems to see whether there are any other errors that could be related or occurred in the same time period.
RTD
DDDDDD
position error on VTV
VVVVVV
MVC
MMMMMM
Explanation
: An attempt was made upon RTD DDDDDD to process VTV VVVVVV on MVC MMMMMM. For a recall, the VTV cannot be found at the position indicated within the CDS. For a migrate to a dynamic reclaimed MVC, the next available partition is not writable.
System Action
: If an alternate MVC can be used, the request will be retried using the alternate MVC. Otherwise, the request will be cancelled. The MVC status in the CDS will be changed to audit.
User Response
: This problem should be investigated. The message implies that VTCS has lost synchronization with the contents of the MVCs.
If possible, attempt to track back through the life of the MVC to see if there are any other events that may have caused this problem.
Consider running the MVC audit utility to reconcile the contents of the VTSSs with the CDS.
Check the integrity of the MVC. It is possible that a previous event has somehow corrupted the MVC. Ensure that sufficient rules and processes are in place to stop overwrites of MVCs by external jobs.
If the problem keeps recurring upon the same RTD, use the VT VARY command to vary the RTD offline and contact StorageTek Hardware Support.
RTD
DDDDDD
request cancelled
Explanation
: A current long running ECAM request upon RTD DDDDDD was cancelled.
System Action
: The request currently being processed upon the RTD is cancelled.
User Response
: This problem should be investigated. The message implies that either a hardware error has occurred upon the VTSS or one of the other hosts is performing some kind of recovery action against the RTD.
Check the SYSLOG upon each host to see what may have been happening at the time of the problem.
If the problem keeps recurring upon the same RTD, use the VT VARY command to vary the RTD offline and contact StorageTek Hardware Support.
RTD
DDDDDD
I/O error on MVC
MMMMMM
labels for VTV
VVVVVV
Explanation
: An attempt was made upon RTD DDDDDD to read VTV VVVVVV from MVC MMMMMM. A data check occurred when attempting to read the tape labels. This copy of the VTV is inaccessible.
System Action
: If an alternate MVC can be used, the request will be retried using the alternate MVC. Otherwise, the request will be cancelled.
User Response
: The reason for the error should be investigated. Check the SYSLOG for other indications as to the nature of the error.
If the MVC is damaged or suspect, then use the VT MVCDRAIN EJECT command to remove any VTVs from the MVC.
However, if the error occurred on a VOLSAFE (WORM) tape, do not drain the MVC without the recommendation of Oracle/StorageTek Support. Once a WORM tape is drained, it can no longer be used for migration and must be replaced.
If the problem keeps recurring upon the same RTD, use the VT VARY command to vary the RTD offline and contact StorageTek Hardware Support.
RTD
DDDDDD
failed, drive will be retried later
Explanation
: A general failure has occurred upon RTD DDDDDD. The drive will be taken out of service for a short time and will then be reset.
System Action
: The current request that is processing upon the RTD will be retried upon another RTD.
User Response
: The reason for the error should be investigated. Check the SYSLOG for other indications as to the nature of the error.
If the problem keeps recurring upon the same RTD, use the VT VARY command to vary the RTD offline and contact StorageTek Hardware Support.
VTSS
XXXXXXXX
has too many VTVs
Explanation
: An attempt has been made to place more than 100,000 VTVs in VTSS XXXXXXXX.
System Action
: The request that attempted to exceed the limit will be cancelled.
User Response
: Check the SYSLOG for other indications as to the nature of the error. Auto migration should have been started sometime before this condition occurred.
Use the VT MIGRATE command to make some space available in the affected VTSS.
VTSS
XXXXXXXX

Explanation
: An attempt has been made to recall a VTV to VTSS XXXXXXXX, but there was insufficient space within the VTSS.
System Action
: The request that attempted to exceed the limit will be cancelled.
User Response
: Check the SYSLOG for other indications as to the nature of the error. Auto migration should have been started sometime before this condition occurred.
Use the VT MIGRATE command to make some space available in the affected VTSS.
Transfer
VTV
VVVVVV
from VTSS
XXXXXXX1
to
XXXXXXX2
via ACS
AA
Explanation
: A mount request has been directed to VTSS XXXXXXX2 to mount VTV VVVVVV. The volume is not resident upon any MVCs. The VTV will be transferred from VTSS XXXXXXX1 via common RTDs in ACS AA.
System Action
: HSC processing continues.
User Response
: This is a costly action to perform and should be avoided if at all possible.
Check the JCL for the job, the TAPEREQ definitions and any user exit responses to see why the virtual mount was directed toward the wrong VTSS.
No compatible drives for transfer of VTV
VVVVVV
from VTSS
XXXXXXX1
to
XXXXXXX2
Explanation
: VTCS received a request to mount VTV VVVVVV
on a VTD in VTSS XXXXXXX2
. The VTV is currently resident in VTSS XXXXXXX1
and has no migrated copies.
VTCS attempted to transfer the VTV by migrating it from VTSS XXXXXXX1
, then recalling it to VTSS XXXXXXX2
and mounting it.
The transfer failed because VTCS failed to find RTDs (with the same location and device type) that are accessible to both VTSSs and compatible with the MVCs available for migration.
System Action
: The mount request fails.
User Response
: Check the JCL for the job, the TAPEREQ definitions and any user exit responses to see why the virtual mount was directed toward the wrong VTSS.
ECAM I/O error on VTD
DDDD
Explanation
: An I/O error occurred when ECAM-T was issued against a VTD address.
System Action
: VTCS will retry the failure once against a different VTD address if possible. If the retry fails also, the invoking function will fail.
User Response
: Investigate why I/O cannot be done to this address.
MVS space critical - Please add more MVCS to ACS
xx
|MVCPOOL (
poolname
) and reply R to retry
Explanation
: The MVC Space critical has dropped below the configured threshold for ACSxx or named MVCPOOL (PPPPPPPP). See the last SLS6611I message for details of how many MVCs are free.
System Action
: Automatic space reclaim is started. This message will be deleted when the shortage is relieved.
User Response
: The VT RECLAIM command may free up some MVCs. Use the QUERY MVCPOOL command or utility MVCPLRPT to determine if other ACS(s) and/or named MVCPOOLs are short of free MVCs. The MVCPOOL definitions should be reviewed and/or new ranges of MVCs should be defined in the CDS. After adding the MVCs, reply R to this prompt to retry the migrate requests.
Auto migration for VTSS
XXXXXXXX
to target
NN
% is now active on host
HHHH
Explanation
: The DBU upon VTSS XXXXXXXX has exceeded the high threshold or a migrate to threshold operator command has been issued and auto migration is now active upon host HHHH. This host will manage auto migration by migrating and deleting VTVs from the VTSS until the DBU drops to the target NN%.
System Action
: HSC processing continues.
User Response
: None
No volumes available for auto migration selection on VTSS
XXXXXXXX
Explanation
: The auto migration process was unable to find any VTVs eligible to be migrated, but the migration target has not been reached. VTVs are ineligible to be migrated if they are in one of the following states:
mounted
already on another migration list (e.g. immediate migrate)
System Action
: If the DBU is lower than the high automatic migration threshold (HAMT), VTCS will terminate auto migration. Otherwise, VTCS will pause auto migration by waiting some minutes before re-evaluating which VTVs require auto migration.
User Response
: If ineligible VTVs can be identified, resolve the cause that makes them ineligible. If assistance is needed in getting auto migration to proceed, contact StorageTek software support.
Host
HHHH
is performing auto migration to target
NN
% on VTSS
XXXXXXXX
Explanation
: The message is issued periodically to indicate an active auto migration on another host. In general, the message is timed for about 60-minute intervals. However, depending on the point at which the check is done, it may be produced at a more or less frequent intervals.
System Action
: Auto migration continues on the indicated host.
User Response
: None
Auto migration for VTSS
XXXXXXXX
stalled because all storage classes are in error
Explanation
: In attempting to select VTVs for auto migration, all eligible volumes require migration to storage classes which have been flagged in error, due to either MVC or RTD problems.
System Action
: Auto migration waits for a while, and then attempts to re-select a VTV list.
User Response
: Check for previously issued messages SLS6700E, indicating storage classes in error and associated reason codes. Correct the indicated problems, and reload storage class definitions if necessary.

Explanation
: Import was accessing an inactive CDS, i.e. a CDS that was not in use by any Hosts.
The utility successfully created a data space into which the CDS could be copied, but failed to obtain an ALET with which to access the data space. Specifically, the ALESERV ADD macro gave Return Code X'cc'.
System Action
: The utility terminates.
User Response
: Check the relevant IBM documentation to determine the cause of the failure. If possible, correct this and rerun the utility. Otherwise, contact StorageTek Software Support.
No selection criteria specified for EXPORT
Explanation
: The EXPORT utility was started, but with no selection of either VTVs or MVCs for export.
System Action
: The utility terminates.
User Response
: Correct the EXPORT control cards and rerun the job.
Failed to open DDNAME '
ddname
' for manifest
Explanation
: A utility attempted to open the dd-name ddname for the manifest file, but the operation failed.
System Action
: The export or import utility terminates.
User Response
: The most likely cause of the above is a missing dd-name. Amend the JCL for the utility job to include the correct dd-name.
DDNAME '
ddname
' will be used for the manifest
Explanation
: DD-name ddname will be used to read or write the manifest file.
System Action
: None
User Response
: None
Invalid value VALUE specified for option KEYWORD

'volser1
-
volser2
' does not represent a valid
volser-range
Explanation
: The specified volser-range volser1-volser2 is not a valid range.volser1 and volser2 are required to satisfy the following criteria:
volser1 and volser2 must be individually valid volsers.
volser1 and volser2 must consist of the same number of characters.
volser2 must be > volser1
System Action
: Processing continues.
User Response
: Correct the volser-range and rerun the job.
Unable to update the CDS. Following hosts are active:
H1
(,
H2
, ...,
H16
)
Explanation
: A utility that required update access to the CDS determined that it was accessing an inactive CDS, because:
The utility command explicitly stated that an inactive CDS was being used.
HSC/VTCS was not active on this system (and the utility command did not explicitly state that an inactive CDS was being used).
Processing of an inactive CDS requires that no Hosts are using the CDS. However, the CDS shows the listed Hosts (H1,..., H16) are active and using this CDS.
System Action
: The utility terminates.
User Response
: Shut down HSC on all listed Hosts, then rerun the utility. If a Host is listed but HSC is not active on that Host, HSC did not terminate cleanly. In this case, either start HSC on the Host and then shut it down cleanly, or RECOVER the Host from a different active Host (before shutting that Host down as well). Alternatively, if the utility is using the same CDS as the listed Hosts, ensure HSC/VTCS is active on this system then rerun the utility.

online to VTSS
vtssname
Explanation
: During initialization of Clustered VTSS link clinkid, the VARY online to VTSS vtssname failed. See the last SLS6751I message for details of the ECAM error causing the failure.
System Action
: The Clustered VTSS link is set offline and made unavailable for replication processing. VTCS will attempt to recover the link by periodically re-issuing the VARY online.
For failed synchronous remote links, an immediate attempt will be made to vary the CLINK on as asynchronous. If this attempt succeeds, VTCS issues message SLS6759I indicating the export CLINK is online in an asynchronous mode and will maintain this state with no further vary attempts. If this attempt fails, the remote link is set offline.

VTSS
VVVVVVVV
configuration invalid:
RRRRRRRR
Explanation
: During initialization of VTSS VVVVVVVV, the CLINK connections were being validated. The problem RRRRRRRR was found with the state or type of the VTSS and requirements derived from the configurations.
Generally, this can be due to the level of microcode on the VTSS not fully supporting the capabilities requested.
For reasontext 'RTD/remote CLINK Configuration different', the ability to replicate to the receiving VTSS on the end of the CLINK will be disabled because the VTSSs in the cluster either do not have an identical RTD configuration or they do not have remote CLINKs to the same tapeplex. For RTD definitions, the VTSSs in the cluster must have connectivity to the same drive types in the same ACS. For remote CLINK definitions, if one VTSS in the cluster has a remote link to a tapeplex then all VTSSs in the cluster must have a remote link to the same tapeplex.
For reasontext 'No access to VTDs 0-15', the ability to perform synchronous replicates or exports will be disabled.
System Action
: The VTSS remains online but will not have fully functioning CLINKs. Thus it may not be able to perform replicates or electronic exports.
User Response
: Correct the configuration error(s). The VTSS maybe reset and retried by rerunning the CONFIG utility without the RESET option.

Unable to determine DSNames for the CDS
Explanation
: HSC and VTCS utilities use operating services READJFCB and LOCATE along with the Unified User Interface, to establish details of the CDS(s) specified in the utility JCL, and those used by HSC. One of these calls did not complete successfully.
System Action
: The operation fails with RC=8.
User Response
: Examine the utility JCL supplied for the SLUADMIN job and correct any errors. If the problem persists, contact StorageTek Software Support.
Unable to allocate the Control Data Set
Explanation
: A HSC or VTCS utility is being run, and has attempted unsuccessfully to communicate with the HSC address space to establish details of the currently active CDS(s), and to perform dynamic allocation on them. Reasons for this message include the following:
HSC has not responded to the request.
Dynamic allocation of a CDS has failed.
HSC has reported that no CDSs are active.
There is a discrepancy between the CDS(s) specified in JCL and those CDS(s) currently active to HSC.
System Action
: The operation fails with RC=8.
User Response
:
If HSC is not active, and the JCL contains no DD statements, then either supply DD statement(s) for CDS(s) in the JCL, or ensure that HSC is active.
If a utility that requires update access to the CDS (e.g., EXPORT) is being run, HSC is active and CDS(s) have been supplied in the JCL, then they do not match those currently active in the HSC subsystem. Either correct the DD statements in the JCL to match the HSC subsystem, or remove them. If the problem persists, contact StorageTek Software Support.

Explanation
: The path named PPPPPPPP to device DDDD that has been defined in the VTCS configuration is not supported by the code level of the VLE LLLLLLLL.
System Action
: The path to the device will be placed into an offline/maintenance state. If this is the only path to the device, then the device will also be placed into this state.
User Response
: Either remove the device from the VTCS configuration or upgrade the code level of the VLE.
DFSMSRMM inventory management in progress
Explanation
: While attempting a DFSMSrmm CHANGEVOL command to change the status of a DFSMSrmm managed virtual tape volume, return code 12, reason code 24 was received. This indicates that DFSMSrmm BACKUP(AMS) is running, and updates to the DFSMSrmm CDS are not allowed.
System Action
: For virtual MOUNT processing, the mount will be re-driven every five minutes while DFSMSrmm BACKUP(AMS) is running. For SCRATCH processing, the volume will be marked as SCRATCH in the HSC CDS, and will be marked as DFSMSrmm INITIALIZED when next mounted.
User Response
: No user response is required. This message will be deleted when a subsequent DFSMSrmm CHANGEVOL command executes successfully.
If appropriate, this message may be avoided by specifying the DFSMSrmm command BACKUP(DSS) with the CONCURRENT option to enable updates to be performed while backup is executing.

Explanation
: MVC MMMMMM has reached End-of-Life, due to the number of times it has been mounted.
System Action
: The MVC status is changed to Retired. The MVC is no longer eligible to be selected as an output MVC, though data can be read from it.
User Response
: No action is required, though you may want to make plans for the future replacement of the MVC when it is empty.
MVC
MMMMMM
is retired. Warranty status cannot be changed
Explanation
: An attempt was made to change the warranty expiration status of MVC MMMMMM using MVCMAINT MVC(MMMMMM) WARRANTY(ON|OFF). The warranty of a Retired MVC must necessarily have expired. Changes to the warranty expiration status are therefore inapplicable.

: Determine from the preceding message(s) the error that caused VTCS to shut down. Take any corrective action indicated by the message(s), then recycle HSC/VTCS.
VTV
VVVVVV
found mounted during processing
Explanation
: While performing a utility operation, the identified VTV VVVVVV was found to be in a mounted state.
System Action
: A return code of 4 is set. Other operations may be attempted based on the function(s) being requested.
For DRAIN and RECLAIM operations, other MVCs will be processed as required.
User Response
: Re-run the function when the VTV is no longer mounted.
VTV
VVVVVV
associated with MVC
VVVVVV
exceeds two copies for export
Explanation
: VTV VVVVVV associated with MVC VVVVVV has been found to exceed the maximum number of VTV copies that may be exported to a VTCS system that does not support 4 migrated copies.
System Action
: Processing continues.
User Response
: None
Recall of VTV
VVVVVV
aborted - Attribute
AAAAAAAA
not supported by VTSS
NNNNNNNN
Explanation
: The attempt to recall VVVVVV was aborted because the microcode within (or model of) VTSS NNNNNNNN does not support VTVs with attribute AAAAAAAA. The VTV was created upon a VTSS that did have the requisite microcode levels installed.
The attribute AAAAAAAA can be one of MAXVTVSZ (maximum size of the VTV) or VTVPAGE (the page size used to store the VTV).
System Action
: The recall request is failed.
User Response
: Direct the recall to a VTSS that does support the requested attribute.
You also need to investigate how this came about. Within an installation, VTCS does stop this condition from arising. The most likely source is from importing VTVs from another installation.
The CDS supports AAAAAAAA
VTVs but NNNNNNNN
does not
Explanation
: The CDS is configured to support VTVs with the AAAAAAAA attribute VTVs. However, VTCS has detected that VTSS NNNNNNNN is at a microcode level that does not support VTVs with this attribute.
System Action
: Processing continues, but the creation of new VTVs with the AAAAAAAA attribute will be suppressed across ALL VTSSs, not just those for which this message is issued. The attribute AAAAAAAA can be: VTVPAGE(LARGE) or MAXVTVSZ. MAXVTVSZ will have a value of 800, 2000/4000, or 32000.
User Response
: If the creation of VTVs with the indicated attribute is required:
For each VTSS for which SLS6793I is output, vary the VTSS offline, install the supporting microcode level then vary the VTSS back online. The attribute will be usable once all VTSS have been corrected.
If it is possible to run without the VTSS(s) for which SLS6793I is output, vary the VTSS(s) offline and then re-cycle HSC.
CDS type is not recognized
Explanation
: VTCS has detected that the CDS associated with a decompile operation is not one supported by VTCS. Valid types are: Base, Extended, Extended (with VTCS V6 extensions).
System Action
: The decompile process terminates.
User Response
: Ensure that the target CDS has been successfully configured using the VTCS configuration process. Refer the problem to StorageTek Software Support if the CDS has been successfully configured.
Unable to delete VTV
VVVVVV
from VTSS
SSSSSSSS
Explanation
: Import was accessing an inactive CDS, i.e. a CDS that was not in use by any Hosts. VTV VVVVVV, which was being imported, already existed in the CDS and was resident on VTSS SSSSSSSS. Import was unable to delete the 'old' copy of the VTV from the VTSS because this mode of import has no access to the VTSS.
System Action
: Processing continues. RC=4 is set for this VTV.
User Response
: When HSC/VTCS is next active against the CDS, Audit the VTSS to re-establish synchronization between the CDS and the VTSS.
Data space action of item
VVVVVV
failed:
RRR
Explanation
: Import was accessing an inactive CDS, i.e. a CDS that was not in use by any Hosts.
Import failed to perform the specified action (read/update) against the indicated item (MVC or VTV, volser VVVVVV) in the data space to which the CDS had been copied, for the reason given (RRR). This indicates an internal processing error has occurred.
Reason is one of the following:
”format conversion failed with RC=X'cc'” - conversion between internal formats failed with Return Code X'cc'.
”format conversion returned volser C'cccccc'/X'xxxxxxxxxxxx'” - conversion between internal formats gave RC=0 but returned the wrong volume. C'cccccc'/X'xxxxxxxxxxxx' shows the returned volser in character and hex formats.
”invalid location (X'pos1',X'pos2',X'pos3',X'pos4')” - the location to be accessed within the data space is invalid, as it is outside of the area containing this type of record (MVC/VTV). X'pos1' to X'pos4' are for Oracle internal use.
”volser check failed - C'cccccc'/X'xxxxxxxxxxxx'” - the volume located within the data space did not match the volume being processed. C'cccccc'/X'xxxxxxxxxxxx' give the volser in the data space in character and hex formats.
”record not found” - the volume was not located within the data space.
System Action
: Processing continues. RC=8 is set for this item.
User Response
: Contact StorageTek Software Support.
Audit required flag has been set for VTSS
SSSSSSSS
Explanation
: Import was accessing an inactive CDS, i.e. a CDS that was not in use by any Hosts. One or more of the VTVs being imported already existed in the CDS and were resident on VTSS SSSSSSSS. Import was unable to delete the 'old' copy of these VTVs from the VTSS because this mode of import has no access to the VTSS. Message SLS6795W was output for each such VTV. Synchronization between the CDS and the VTSS is lost.
System Action
: Processing continues.
User Response
: When HSC/VTCS is next active against the CDS, Audit the VTSS to re-establish synchronization between the CDS and the VTSS.
INACTCDS requires the CDS to be specified in JCL and to be different from the CDS used by HSC
Explanation
: A Batch utility specified INACTCDS on the control statement, indicating that an inactive CDS was being used.
INACTCDS requires both of the following:
the CDS to be used by the utility must be specified in the JCL (on SLSCNTL, and SLSCNTL2/SLSSTBY if appropriate, DD statement(s)).
no Hosts to be using the CDS
System Action
: The utility terminates.
User Response
: Ensure that the JCL defines the CDS to be used by the utility and that the CDS specified is not in use by HSC on any Host.
IMMDRAIN(YES) is not supported with IMPORT to an inactive CDS
Explanation
: Import was accessing an inactive CDS, i.e. a CDS that was not in use by any Hosts. The IMPORT statement specified IMMDRAIN(YES), which is not supported in this mode because there is no HSC/VTCS system to perform the Drain(s).
System Action
: The utility terminates.
User Response
: If the imported MVCs need to be drained, ensure that HSC/VTCS is running on this system using this CDS then rerun the utility. If the imported MVCs do not need to be drained, remove IMMDRAIN(YES) then rerun the utility.

Explanation
: VTCS attempted to connect to coupling facility structure SSS, but received unacceptable return/reason codes (X'CCCCCCCC'/X'SSSSSSSS') from the IXLCONN macro.
System Action
: VTCS terminates.
User Response
: Look up IXLCONN return code X'CCCCCCCC'reason code X'SSSSSSSS' in the relevant IBM manual in order to determine why the connect failed. If possible, correct the error then recycle HSC/VTCS. Otherwise report this problem to StorageTek Software Support.

Explanation
: VTCS issued action AAAAAA against coupling facility structure SSS, but received unacceptable return/reason codes (X'CCCCCCCC'/X'SSSSSSSS') from the IXLLIST macro.
The following shows the format of the IXLLIST macro issued for each action:
Delete : IXLLIST REQUEST=DELETE,xx Lock obtain : IXLLIST REQUEST=LOCK,LOCKOPER=SET,xx Lock release : IXLLIST REQUEST=LOCK,LOCKOPER=RESET,xx Read : IXLLIST REQUEST=READ,xx Read Next Lock: IXLLIST REQUEST=LOCK,LOCKOPER=READNEXT,xx Start Monitor : IXLLIST REQUEST=MONITOR_LIST,ACTION=START,xx Stop Monitor : IXLLIST REQUEST=MONITOR_LIST,ACTION=STOP,xx Write : IXLLIST REQUEST=WRITE,xx
System Action
: VTCS issues an Abend, then continues.
User Response
: Report this problem to StorageTek Software Support.
CF structure
SSS
is full after formatting
MM
out of
NN
entries
Explanation
: VTCS successfully connected to coupling facility structure SSS, then attempted to format all data entries.The structure became full after mm of the NN data entries had been written to the structure.
System Action
: VTCS terminates.
User Response
: Use mm and NN to calculate the factor by which the size of the current structure needs to be increased. When the structure has been re-defined with this larger size, recycle HSC/VTCS.
CF structure
SSS
shows host
HHHH
as inactive, but the CDS shows it as active
Explanation
: After successfully connecting to coupling facility structure SSS, VTCS checks that each host shown as active in the CDS has updated its status in the structure. Host HHHH is shown as active in the CDS, but is not actively using the structure.
System Action
: VTCS delays start-up, but continues to check the status of all hosts.VTCS will delete this message when the CDS and the structure show the same status for host HHHH.
User Response
:
None if host HHHH is in the process of starting up. VTCS will delete this message once the host updates its status in the structure.
If the output from a 'D CDS' command shows host HHHH as active but HSC is definitely not running on that host, recover host HHHH from an active system. Once host HHHH has been recovered, re-issue 'D CDS' to check host HHHH is marked as 'assumed dead'. VTCS will delete this message when the CDS is next checked for the status of host HHHH.
If host HHHH is fully active or host HHHH has been recovered and this message remains outstanding, report this problem to StorageTek Software Support.
Correct the reported discrepancies, or reply T to terminate VTCS on host
HHHH
Explanation
: After successfully connecting to coupling facility structure SSS (named in message SLS6803E), VTCS checks that each host shown as active in the CDS has updated its status in the structure.
One or more hosts are shown as active in the CDS, but are not actively using the structure. Each such host is reported in message SLS6803E, output before this message.
System Action
: VTCS delays start-up, but continues to check the status of all hosts.
When the CDS and the coupling facility structure show the same status for all hosts, VTCS will delete this message and start-up will continue.
If this message is replied to with a 'T', VTCS will terminate on this host (HHHH).
User Response
: For each host listed in a SLS6803E message, take the action described in the help text for message SLS6803E.
If it is not possible to correct the discrepancy between the status of the hosts in the CDS and the coupling facility structure, report this problem to StorageTek Software Support. If you reply T to this message, VTCS will terminate on this host (HHHH) regardless of the status of the hosts in the CDS and the coupling facility structure.
NNN
host to host messages queued for host
HHHH
, as the CF structure
SSS
list is full
Explanation
: This host is unable to send a host to host message to host HHHH via coupling facility structure SSS, because the structure list used to hold the messages for host HHHH is full.There are now NNN such messages for host HHHH queued in storage in this host.
System Action
: VTCS continues checking the coupling facility structure list. When the list is no longer full, VTCS will write the queued messages to the list and delete this message.
User Response
:
If the output from a 'D CDS' command shows host HHHH as active but HSC is definitely not running on that host, recover host HHHH from an active system. Once host HHHH has been recovered, re-issue 'D CDS' to check host HHHH is marked as 'assumed dead'. VTCS will delete this message when it next checks the CDS for the status of host HHHH.
If host HHHH is fully active or host HHHH was recovered and this message remains outstanding, report this problem to StorageTek Software Support.

X'CCCCCCCC'
RSN=
X'SSSSSSSS'
Explanation
: MVS informed VTCS that the rebuild of coupling facility structure SSS should be stopped. VTCS was unable to acknowledge to MVS that the rebuild should stop, because it received unacceptable return/reason codes (X'CCCCCCCC'/X'SSSSSSSS') from the IXLEERSP (EVENT=REBLDSTOP) macro.
System Action
: VTCS continues with the rebuild.
User Response
: Report this problem to StorageTek Software Support.

System Action
: VTCS terminates.
User Response
: Report this problem to StorageTek Software Support.
Disconnecting from CF structure
SSS
because a rebuild is in progress
Explanation
: VTCS successfully connected to coupling facility structure SSS, which is in the process of being rebuilt. The rebuild started before this host connected to the structure, making it impossible for this host to participate in the rebuild.
System Action
: VTCS will disconnect from the coupling facility, then retry the connection at a later time.

via CF structure
SSS
Explanation
: VTCS received a host to host message from host HHHH via coupling facility structure SSS, but the message was not of the expected length. LLL and MMM show the length and contents of the message.
System Action
: VTCS ignores the host to host message.
User Response
: Report this problem to StorageTek Software Support.
Special Conditions:
If VTCS lock data is held in a Coupling Facility Structure (i.e. the VTCS configuration specifies LOCKSTR=structure-name on the GLOBAL statement):
The PTF that enables Coupling Facility access must be applied to ALL Hosts.
Hosts that do not have the PTF applied will be unable to process the CDS.
VTCS start-up in an HSC/VTCS address space will Abend U1096/X'6A24', or output message SLS6818E and then terminate.
VTCS utilities will terminate with RC=12 and message ”SLS6606I CDS IS NOT CONFIGURED FOR VTCS” or message SLS6818E.
If VTCS lock data is held in the CDS (i.e. the VTCS configuration does not specify LOCKSTR=structure-name on the GLOBAL statement), the PTF that enables Coupling Facility access may be applied to no Hosts, some Hosts or all Hosts.
MGMTclas/STORCLAS

: Correct the filter class specification or ensure that the class is defined either to VTCS or any required POLICYDD file.
MGMTclas
CCCCCCCC
does not specify any archive policies
Explanation
: A Management Class filter CCCCCCCC was specified to the ARCHIVE utility; however the class does not contain any Archive policies (ARCHAge and ARCHPol specifications).
System Action
: The current utility request is terminated.
User Response
: Correct the filter class specification or ensure that the class specifies Archive policies.
Unable to access MVC for recall of VTV
VVVVVV
Explanation
: While attempting to recall VTV VVVVVV to satisfy a mount request, VTCS could not successfully mount an MVC to perform the recall. The primary MVC may have had mount failures or VTCS may not have been able to read the MVC. Other MVC copies were unavailable as no RTD access to them existed when the recall was attempted.
System Action
: The recall/mount terminates.
User Response
: Check the HSC logs to determine what errors caused the MVC mount or read failures. Determine why VTCS could not access other MVC copies in order to satisfy the VTV recall request. When the access problems to the MVC(s) have been corrected, issue a manual HSC mount command to re-drive the request. If the reason for the failure is not understood, contact StorageTek Software Support.
Parse error in Management Policy file POLICYdd
CCCCCCCC
Explanation
: An error was detected while parsing the Management Policy file. This message is followed by message SLS6603I detailing the precise error.
System Action
: The current utility request is terminated.

: Correct the Management Policy file definitions and re-run the utility request.
CDS conversion incomplete. Rerun CONFIG
Explanation
: VTCS has determined that a CONFIG has been started on the CDS requiring conversion of the CDS. The CONFIG did not complete.
System Action
: VTCS terminates.
User Response
: The CONFIG must be rerun to complete the CDS conversion before other HSC functions can be run.
CDS conversion incomplete. CONFIG will complete CDS conversion
Explanation
: VTCS CONFIG has determined that a previous CONFIG has been started on the CDS which required conversion of the CDS. This CONFIG did not complete successfully.
System Action
: CONFIG will complete the conversion of the CDS.
User Response
: None
Invalid Archive/Reconcil parameter

CCCCCCCC
Explanation
: An error was detected while parsing the Archive/Reconcil utility statement. Parameter PPPPPPPP contains an invalid value CCCCCCCC.
System Action
: The current utility request is terminated.
User Response
: Correct the parameter value and re-run the utility request.
AAAAAAA
in management classes not supported by
RRRRRR
Explanation
: One or more of the management class definitions specified the attribute AAAAAAA. This attribute is supported by the CDS level but it cannot be implemented because a hardware or configuration error has occurred.
System Action
: Defaults will be applied to any VTVs created with these management classes.
User Response
:
If the reason for the failure is "hardware":
Some features will require upgrades to the microcode on the VTSSs in order for support to become available. Other features may be limited by the model type of the VTSS.
The output from the 'QUERY CONFIG' command will report the VTSS model and the ability of the VTSS to support the required features.
If the reason for the failure is "configuration":
The VTCS configuration error has a mismatch in RTD device types between the VTSSs in a cluster. Other error messages may have been displayed to provide additional information.
Examine the VTSS and CLUSTER definitions in the VTCS configuration to identify the cause of the problem.
The output from the 'QUERY CONFIG' command will report the VTSS model and the ability of the VTSS to support the required features.
Configuration query of LSM
AA:LL
(containing RTD
DDDD
) failed with RC=
X'RRRRRRRR'
Explanation
: VTCS invoked the HSC configuration query service to obtain information about LSM AA:LL (that contains RTD DDDD). The query failed with Return Code X'RRRRRRRR'. The information would have been used by the RTD allocation routines, though VTCS is able to allocate RTDs without this information.
System Action
: VTCS processing continues.
User Response
: Report this problem to StorageTek Software Support.
Waiting for VTSS
NNNNNNNN
to complete initialization
Explanation
: VTCS is waiting for VTSS NNNNNNNN to complete initialization during HSC/VTCS start-up. The initialization of the VTSS must complete before virtual processing can commence.
System Action
: VTCS will continue to wait for the initialization to complete.
User Response
: Check the HSC logs and SYSLOG to determine if any errors exist for VTD addresses associated with the VTSS. If any IOSnnnn messages exist for the VTD address(es) in question, determine if the errors are limited to a single path. If so, vary the affected path(s) offline. If the errors appear to affect all paths, a Vary nnnn,OFFLINE,FORCE command can be issued to attempt to bypass the device. Once the problem has been corrected, the device can be brought back online. It should not be necessary to re-start HSC/VTCS once the errors have been corrected and the VTD addresses are properly online. If the VTSS was taken offline, a VT Vary VTSS(nnnnnnnn) ONline can be issued to bring the VTSS online. If the errors cannot be resolved, contact StorageTek Software Support for assistance.
Additional copies of VTV
VVVVVV
retained because of status change
Explanation
: When performing a recall of VTV VVVVVV, there was an additional requirement to delete copies of the VTV from other MVCs. A check has failed at this point because the status of the VTV had changed since the command was originally issued.
System Action
: Processing continues without the copies of the VTV having been deleted. This may result in subsequent errors or retry conditions.
User Response
: This is only a warning. Because there is a significant delay between the validation performed when the command was issued and the time at which the deletion is attempted, it is quite possible for another request to update the VTV record and thus invalidate the original reason for the delete.
VTV
VVVVVV
deleted from MVC
mvclist
Explanation
: VTV VVVVVV has been deleted from the VTSS and logically deleted from the MVC(s) specified in mvclist.
System Action
: VTCS continues with the next VTV to be processed.

Explanation
: VTV VVVVVV has not been selected for deletion as it has been referenced within NNN days. NNN is the period of grace supplied via the NOTREF parameter, and signifies that VTVs that have been referenced within this period are not to be considered for deletion.
System Action
: VTCS continues with the next VTV to be processed.
User Response
: No action necessary.
Duplicate
PPPPPPPP
VVVVVVVV
ignored
Explanation
: Value VVVVVVVV for parameter PPPPPPPP has been specified more than once within the DELETSCR command.
It has been detected more than once, but will only be processed once. PPPPPPPP is either scratch pool or VTSS.
System Action
: VTCS continues processing each specified value once only.
User Response
: No action necessary.
Error updating VTV

System Action
: VTCS terminates the request, and supplies return code 12.
User Response
: Contact StorageTek Software Support.
Scratch pool definitions changed during program execution - could not locate Scratch pool
PPPP
Explanation
: VTCS detects when a resource (either a VTV or an MVC) is being used on either the same or a different host, waits until the resource becomes available, and then re-drives the request. Within this waiting interval, the scratch pool definitions have been re-loaded via the SCRPDEF command, and the new definitions do not include the VTV that was being processed when the task was interrupted. VTCS cannot therefore re-establish the point from which to continue processing. See message SLS6841E for details of the VTV involved.
System Action
: VTCS continues processing the request from the next supplied scratch pool, and supplies return code 4 on termination.
User Response
: Either re-load the original scratch pool definitions, or amend the SCRPOOL parameter to include existing scratch pools, and re-run the DELETSCR utility.
Scratch pool for VTV
VVVVVV
not found
Explanation
: This message may be issued in conjunction with message SLS6840I and specifies the VTV that was contained in a scratch pool that has been removed from VTCS during program execution. If it was issued in conjunction with message SLS6840I, the scratch pool has been removed. If message SLS6840I was not issued, the scratch pool has been located, but re-defined to exclude the VTV.
System Action
: VTCS continues processing the request from the next supplied scratch pool, and supplies return code 4 on termination.
User Response
: Please see message help for message SLS6840I.
Unable to delete VTV
VVVVVV
from VTSS
SSSS
Explanation
: An unexpected response was received when attempting to delete the VTV from a VTSS.
System Action
: VTCS terminates the request, and supplies return code 12.
User Response
: Contact StorageTek Software Support.
Unable to locate any VTVs in scratch pool
PPPP
Explanation
: Either the named scratch pool has not been defined to HSC, or the scratch pool contains no VTVs.
System Action
: VTCS ignores the unidentified scratch pool, continues processing any remaining scratch pools supplied to the utility, and supplies return code 4.
User Response
: Remove or correct the unidentified scratch pool and re-submit the utility if necessary.
Invalid range
VVVV1
-
VVVV2
specified
Explanation
: The range of volumes VVVV1-VVVV2 specified in the utility does not constitute a valid volume range.
System Action
: The utility will fail and supply return code 12.
User Response
: Correct the volume range in error and re-submit the utility.
No valid MVCPOOLS have been defined
Explanation
: No valid MVC Pools have been defined via the VT MVCDEF command. This is due to one of the following reasons:
VT MVCDEF was not specified in SLSSYSxx and has never been entered as an operator command.
VT MVCDEF was specified in SLSSYSxx or entered as an operator command, but the MVC Pool(s)) were not installed (and valid MVC Pool(s)) have not been installed previously).
VT MVCDEF was specified in SLSSYSxx or entered as an operator command. The MVC Pool(s) were installed, but none of the volumes specified in the MVC Pool(s) are defined as MVCs in the VTCS Configuration (on MVCVOL statement(s)).
System Action
: VTCS processing continues, though processing will be severely impacted due to an inability to migrate VTVs.
User Response
:
If VT MVCDEF was not specified in SLSSYSxx and has never been entered as an operator command, define one/more valid MVC Pool(s) then issue the VT MVCDEF command to load the MVC Pool definitions.
If VT MVCDEF was specified in SLSSYSxx or entered as an operator command but the MVC Pool(s) were not installed, determine and correct the reason for the MVC Pool(s) not being installed (e.g. a syntax error in the command or the definition of the MVC Pool(s)).
Then issue the VT MVCDEF command to reload the MVC Pool definitions.
If VT MVCDEF was specified in SLSSYSxx or entered as an operator command and the MVC Pool(s) were installed but did not specify MVCs, ensure that the volumes specified in the MVC Pool(s) are defined as MVCs in the VTCS Configuration (on MVCVOL statement(s)). Then issue the VT MVCDEF command to reload the MVC Pool definitions.
No default MVCPOOL (DEFAULTPOOL) has been defined
Explanation
: All MVC Pool(s) defined via the VT MVCDEF command are named MVC Pool(s) (of the format MVCPool Volser(VVVVVV) NAME(PPP) ...). There are no unnamed MVC Pool(s) defined (of the format MVCPool Volser(VVVVVV) ..., without the NAME(PPP) parameter. VTCS gives the name DEFAULTPOOL to the pool of MVCs that are specified in unnamed MVC Pool(s).
This pool is used when migrating:
VTVs that do not have a Management Class assigned (in which case the Storage Class name will be that of the VTSS from which the VTVs are being migrated), or
To a Storage Class that does not specify an MVC Pool, or
To Storage Class !ERROR (which occurs when a VTV has an undefined Management Class).
All such migrations will fail if the DEFAULTPOOL is not defined.
Even when not strictly necessary, it is useful to have a DEFAULTPOOL defined to allow for error situations.
System Action
: VTCS processing continues.
User Response
: Review the Storage Class definitions.
If all Storage Classes specify an MVC Pool, a DEFAULTPOOL is not required but may still be defined to allow for error situations.
If any Storage Class does not specify an MVC Pool, a DEFAULTPOOL is required.
If a DEFAULTPOOL is required (or desired to allow for error situations), define one/more unnamed MVC Pool(s) (of the format MVCPool Volser(VVVVVV) ..., without the NAME(PPP) parameter).
Then issue the VT MVCDEF command to reload the MVC Pool definitions.
MVCPOOL
PPP
contains no volumes that are defined as MVCS
Explanation
: None of the volumes specified in MVC Pool PPP are defined as MVCs in the VTCS Configuration (on MVCVOL statement(s)). All migrations that request an MVC from this MVC Pool will fail.
System Action
: VTCS processing continues, but ignores the definition of MVC Pool PPP.
User Response
: Correct or remove the definition of MVC Pool PPP, then issue the VT MVCDEF command to reload the MVC Pool definitions.
The definition should only be removed if this is not the DEFAULTPOOL and no Storage Classes specify this MVC Pool.
STORCLAS
SSS
indicates MVCs are to be selected from undefined MVCPOOL
PPP
Explanation
: Storage Class SSS specifies/implies that MVCs are to be selected from MVC Pool PPP, but that MVC Pool is not defined.
The presence/absence of the MVCPool(PPP) parameter on the Storage Class definition indicates the MVC Pool from which MVCs are to be selected when migrating to that Storage Class.
If the definition of Storage Class SSS is of the format STORclas NAME(SSS) MVCPool(PPP) ..., MVCs are to be selected from MVC Pool PPP.
If the definition of Storage Class SSS is of the format STORclas NAME(SSS)... (without the MVCPool(PPP) parameter), MVCs are to be selected from MVC Pool DEFAULTPOOL.
VTCS gives the name DEFAULTPOOL to the pool of MVCs that are specified in unnamed MVC Pool(s) (of the format MVCPool Volser(VVVVVV) ..., without the NAME(PPP) parameter.
All migrations to Storage Class SSS, or that request an MVC from this MVC Pool, will fail.
System Action
: VTCS processing continues.
User Response
: If the MVC Pool specified/implied by the definition of Storage Class SSS is correct, add the definition of MVC Pool PPP to the MVC Pools then issue the VT MVCDEF command to reload the MVC Pool definitions.
If the MVC Pool specified/implied by the definition of Storage Class SSS is incorrect, correct the definition of Storage Class SSS then issue the MGMTDEF command to reload the Storage Class definitions.
There are no MVCs in MVCPOOL
PPP
with the MEDIA specified on STORCLAS
SSS
Explanation
: The definition of Storage Class SSS indicates that MVCs selected for migration to that Storage Class must have specific media and be in MVC Pool PPP.
MVC Pool PPP is defined, but none of the MVCs in MVC Pool PPP have the specified media.
All migrations to Storage Class SSS will fail. The media is specified by the MEDIA(media-value(s)) parameter on the Storage Class definition.
The presence/absence of the MVCPool(PPP) parameter on the Storage Class definition indicates the MVC Pool to be used.
If the definition of Storage Class SSS is of the format STORclas NAME(SSS) MVCPool(PPP) ..., MVCs are to be selected from MVC Pool PPP.
If the definition of Storage Class SSS is of the format STORclas NAME(SSS) ... (without the MVCPool(PPP) parameter), MVCs are to be selected from MVC Pool DEFAULTPOOL.
VTCS gives the name DEFAULTPOOL to the pool of MVCs that are specified in unnamed MVC Pool(s) (of the format MVCPool Volser(VVVVVV) ..., without the 'NAME(PPP)' parameter).
System Action
: VTCS processing continues.
User Response
: If Storage Class SSS specifies the correct media and specifies/implies the correct MVC Pool, correct the definition of MVC Pool PPP to include MVCs of the requested media then issue the VT MVCDEF command to reload the MVC Pool definitions.
If Storage Class SSS specifies the incorrect media and/or specifies/implies the incorrect MVC Pool, correct the definition of Storage Class SSS then issue the MGMTDEF command to reload the Storage Class definitions.
STORCLAS
SSS
specifies unknown MEDIA
X'NN'
Explanation
: VTCS was unable to determine the media specified by Storage Class SSS. X'NN' shows the code used within VTCS to describe this media type.
System Action
: VTCS processing continues, ignoring the unknown media.
User Response
: Report this problem to StorageTek Software Support.
There are no RTDs in
XXX
capable of writing the MEDIA specified on STORCLAS
SSS
Explanation
: If XXX in the message is 'ACS aa', the definition of Storage Class SSS contains the usage of either the ACS and/or the STORMNGR parameters and there are no RTDs in indicated ACS capable of writing the specified media.
If XXX in the message is 'the configuration', the definition of Storage Class SSS contains usage of the MEDIA parameter and no usage of the ACS or STORMNGR parameters and there are no RTDs in the configuration capable of writing the specified media.
All migrations to Storage Class SSS will fail.
System Action
: VTCS processing continues.
User Response
: Correct or remove the MEDIA, ACS or STORMNGR parameters specified on the definition of Storage Class SSS in line with the media and ACSs that are supported by available RTDs, then issue the MGMTDEF command to reload the Storage Class definitions.
STORCLAS information:
Explanation
: Displays the response to a VT D STORCLas(SSS) command. The output shows:
INPLACE YES/NO specifications or those that are inherited from the RECLAIM CONFIG statement. The CDS must be at level H for this information to be displayed.
The media, ACS, MVCPool and device type(s) specified/implied by the definition of Storage Class SSS.
Any incompatibilities between the media/device type(s) required when migrating to this Storage Class and the media/device type(s) available.
The VTVs awaiting auto/immediate migration from any VTSS to this Storage Class.
The following will/may be displayed:
'Summary of storage class SSS:' is output to show the Storage Class (SSS) being displayed.

'INPLACE(NO) set for storage class' is output when INPLACE(NO) is specified on the STORclas statement.
'INPLACE not set for storage class, inherits RECLAIM value of YES/NO' is output when INPLACE is not specified on the STORclas statement and the storage class can include ALP media (T10KB or T10KC non-sport media).
'INPLACE not set for storage class' is output when INPLACE is not specified on the STORclas statement and the storage class does not include ALP media.
'MVCs must be in ACS NN and MVCPOOL PPP and be media type MMM' OR 'MVCs must be in MVCPOOL PPP and be media type MMM' OR 'MVCs must be in MVCPOOL PPP' is output to show the criteria that an MVC must satisfy in order to be used when migrating to this Storage Class. The criteria are taken/derived from the definition of Storage Class SSS.
'MVCPool PPP is not defined' is output only if the MVCPool (PPP) specified/implied by Storage Class SSS is undefined.
'The MVCs in MVCPool PPP are only of media type MMM' is output only if:
Storage Class SSS does not specify media, or
There is no overlap between the media (MMM) of the MVCs in MVCPool PPP and the media required when migrating to this Storage Class, or
There are no RTDs available in the configuration/ACS AA with device types capable of writing the media (MMM) contained in MVCPool PPP.
'MVCPool PPP contains no free MVCs (in any ACS/in ACS NN) (with the specified media)' is output only if MVCPool PPP contains MVCs with the media required when migrating to this Storage Class, but none of the MVCs are free (empty).
'in any ACS' is output if no ACS was specified by the definition of Storage Class SSS. The search for free MVCs is limited to MVCs in an ACS.
'in ACS NN' is output if ACS(NN) was specified by the definition of Storage Class SSS. The search for free MVCs is limited to MVCs in ACS NN.
'(with the specified media)' is output if media were specified by the definition of Storage Class SSS.
Migration to this Storage Class can be successful even if this message is output, as partially full (Used) MVCs of Storage Class SSS can be used (if there are any with the specified media and/or ACS).
Non-library MVCs within MVCPool PPP with the specified media may also be used (if there are any).
'RTDs can be any device type' OR 'RTDs must be device type DDD' is output to show the device type(s) that an RTD must have in order to be used when migrating to this Storage Class.
The device type(s) are derived from the media specified/implied by Storage Class SSS.
There are no RTDs defined in the configuration/ACS AA' is output only if there are no RTDs connected to any VTSS (in ACS AA)'.
If Storage Class SSS specifies 'ACS(AA)', only ACS AA is checked for RTDs connected to a VTSS.
If Storage Class SSS does not specify an ACS, all ACSs are checked for RTDs connected to a VTSS.
'The RTDs defined in the configuration/ACS AA are only of device type DDD' is output only if there is no overlap between the device type(s) (DDD) of the RTDs connected to any VTSS (in ACS AA) and:
the device type(s) required when migrating to this Storage Class, or
the device type(s) required to write the media contained in MVCPool PPP.

If Storage Class SSS does not specify an ACS, all ACSs are checked for RTDs connected to VTSS TTT.
'The RTDs connected to VTSS TTT (in ACS AA) are only of device type DDD' is output only if there is no overlap between the device type(s) (DDD) of the RTDs connected to VTSS TTT (in ACS AA) and the device type(s) required when migrating to this Storage Class.
'(in ACS AA)' is output only if Storage Class SSS specifies 'ACS(AA)'.
If Storage Class SSS specifies 'ACS(AA)', only RTDs in ACS AA that are connected to VTSS TTT are checked.
If Storage Class SSS does not specify an ACS, all RTDs that are connected to VTSS TTT are checked.
'VTSS TTT has no suitable RTD online (in ACS AA)' is output only if there are RTDs connected to VTSS TTT (in ACS AA) with the device type(s) required when migrating to this Storage Class, but none of the RTDs are online.
The RTDs are derived from:
the device type(s) required when migrating to this Storage Class, and/or
the device type(s) required to write the media contained in MVCPool PPP.
'(in ACS AA)' is output only if Storage Class SSS specifies 'ACS(AA)'.
If Storage Class SSS specifies 'ACS(AA)', only RTDs in ACS aa that are connected to VTSS TTT are checked.
If Storage Class SSS does not specify an ACS, all RTDs that are connected to VTSS TTT are checked.
'There are no VTVs queued for auto/immediate migration' is output only if there are no VTVs queued for auto/immediate migration (or that failed auto-migration previously) to this Storage Class from any VTSS.

Explanation
: VTCS was attempting to migrate to Storage Class SSS, but was unable to select an MVC because the MVC Pool (PPP) specified/implied by the Storage Class is not defined.
Message SLS6860I, output after this message, shows the definition of Storage Class SSS (including the MVC Pool specified/implied).
The presence/absence of the MVC Pool(PPP) parameter on the Storage Class definition indicates the MVC Pool to be used.
If the definition of Storage Class SSS is of the format STORclas NAME(SSS) MVCPool(PPP) ..., MVCs are to be selected from MVC Pool PPP.
If the definition of Storage Class SSS is of the format STORclas NAME(SSS) ... (without the MVCPool(PPP) parameter), MVCs are to be selected from MVC Pool DEFAULTPOOL.
VTCS gives the name DEFAULTPOOL to the pool of MVCs that are specified in unnamed MVC Pool(s) (of the format MVCPool Volser(VVVVVV) ..., without the 'NAME(PPP)' parameter).
The VTV(s) are being migrated from VTSS TTT to MVC(s) in ACS AA (ACS FF indicates any ACS).

User Response
:
Check the number/media of MVCs in MVCPool PPP.
The VT QU MVCP NAME(PPP) command can be entered to display the number and type of each media present, by ACS, in MVCPool PPP.
Check that all MVCs defined in MVCPool PPP are also defined in the configuration (on the MVCVOL statement(s)). MVCs will be used only if they are defined within both the MVCPool and the configuration. If necessary, make changes to the configuration (MVCVOL statement(s)).
Check the status of MVCs in MVCPool PPP. Check for MVCs in MVCPool PPP that are the requested media and are in ACS AA and have read-only, ejected or data-check status.
The MVC cache, a storage area maintained by VTCS to provide a fast look-up of MVC attributes when selecting an MVC for migration, does not record the media of MVCs that have read-only, ejected or data-check status.
If necessary, change the status of the read-only or ejected MVCs.
If MVCs have recently been added to MVCPool PPP, check the system security product.
If MVCs that are the requested media and are in ACS aa have recently been added to MVCPool PPP (particularly if they have never been written to), check that the system security product allows write access to the MVCs.
The MVC cache (see above) does not record the media of MVCs that the system security product denies write access to.
If necessary, make changes to the system security product definitions.

Explanation
: VTCS was attempting to migrate to Storage Class SSS, but was unable to select an MVC because the MVCPool (PPP) specified/implied by the Storage Class contains MVCs of the media specified by the Storage Class, but those MVCs:
Were not in ACS AA, and/or
Were in ACS AA but there are no online RTDs in ACS AA connected to VTSS TTT that can write the specified media, and/or

- No usable MVCs found for specified MEDIA/SC/ACS
Explanation
: VTCS was attempting to migrate to Storage Class SSS, but was unable to select an MVC because the MVCPool (PPP) specified/implied by the Storage Class contains MVCs, of the specified media in ACS aa, that can be used for migrations to Storage Class SSS, but those MVCs were unusable. Reasons for an MVC being unusable include:
The MVC is full.
The MVC contains insufficient free space to contain the VTV being migrated.
If the definition of the Storage Class does not specify an MVCPool, DEFAULTPOOL is implied. VTCS gives the name DEFAULTPOOL to the pool of MVCs that are specified in unnamed MVCPool(s).
Message SLS6860I, output after this message, shows the definition of Storage Class SSS.

Explanation
: VTCS was attempting to migrate to Storage Class SSS, but was unable to select an MVC due to an internal error reason (X'NN').
The VTV(s) are being migrated from VTSS TTT to MVC(s) in ACS AA (ACS FF indicates any ACS).

Additional information:
Explanation
: Output after any message that indicates a failure to select an MVC for migration (SLS6853E-SLS6859E), to give additional information that may be of use in determining why the failure occurred.
The output shows:
The media, ACS, MVCPool and device type(s) specified/implied by the definition of Storage Class SSS.
Any incompatibilities between the media/device type(s) required when migrating to this Storage Class and the media/device type(s) available.
The next VTV scheduled for auto/immediate/demand migration from VTSS TTT to this Storage Class.
LTO-6, LTO-7, and LTO-8 media and drive types when a migration is attempted and failed when media types are not defined in an MVC pool and/or drive types are not defined.
Considerations:
The RTV utility will not support LTO-6, LTO-7, and LTO-8 media and drives.
LTO-6, LTO-7, and LTO-8 media and drives are supported in VSM6 and VSM7 only.
LTO-6, LTO-7, and LTO-8 WORM media is not supported in VTCS.
VTCS can only support encrypted LTO-6, LTO-7, and LTO-8 drives and media when it is partitioned away from non-encrypted drives and media into a separate ACS.
Example scenario:
Partition a SL8500 or SL3000 into 2 partitions ACS 0 and 1 or add another SL8500 or SL3000 library as ACS 1 to the complex.
Ensure that only non-encrypted LTO drives and media are in ACS 0.
Add encrypted LTO drives and enter encrypted media into ACS 1.
Define an SMC policy for specific jobs, job steps, etc. which assigns a management class that uses an encrypted storage class.
Define a MVC pool for encrypted media.
Add to the MGMTDEF file the following:
A management control statement using the same management class name from the encrypted SMC policy to migrate VTVs to the encrypted MVC storage class.
The appropriate storage class statement to allow VTVs to migrate to the encrypted MVC pool.
The following will/may be displayed:
'Storage Class: SSS ACS: AA VTSS: TTT' is output so that this message may be related to the SLS6853E-SLS6859E message issued previously which also outputs this information.
'Next auto-migration VTV: VVVVVV (with MGMTCLAS CCCCCCCC)' is output to show the volser (VVVVVV) and MGMTCLAS (CCCCCCCC, if the VTV has one) of the next VTV scheduled for auto-migration from VTSS TTT (if applicable).
'Next immediate migration VTV: VVVVVV (with MGMTCLAS CCCCCCCC)' is output to show the volser (VVVVVV) and MGMTCLAS (CCCCCCCC, if the VTV has one) of the next VTV scheduled for immediate migration from VTSS TTT (if applicable).
'Next migration VTV: VVVVVV (with MGMTCLAS CCCCCCCC)' is output to show the volser (VVVVVV) and MGMTCLAS (CCCCCCCC, if the VTV has one) of the next VTV scheduled for demand migration from VTSS TTT (if applicable).
Note:
By the time migration to Storage Class SSS from VTSS TTT is next successful, VTCS may select a VTV other than the one listed under 'Next (auto/immediate) migration VTV:' as being the next one to be migrated.'MVC must be in ACS AA and MVCPOOL PPP and be media type MMM' OR 'MVC must be in MVCPOOL PPP and be media type MMM' OR 'MVC must be in MVCPOOL PPP' is output to show the criteria that an MVC must satisfy in order to be used when migrating to this Storage Class. The criteria are taken/derived from the definition of Storage Class SSS.
'ACS AA' is output only if Storage Class SSS specifies 'ACS(AA)'.
'media type MMM' is output only if Storage Class SSS specifies 'MEDIA(MMM)'.
'MVCPOOL PPP' is always output. If Storage Class SSS does not specify an MVCPool, DEFAULTPOOL is implied.
'MVCPool PPP is not defined' is output only if the MVCPool (PPP) specified/implied by Storage Class SSS is undefined.
'RTD can be any device type' OR 'RTD must be device type DDD' is output to show the device type(s) that an RTD must have in order to be used when migrating to this Storage Class.
The device type(s) are derived from the media specified/implied by Storage Class SSS.
'RTD must be unknown device type(s)' is output if VTCS is unable to determine the device type(s) that an RTD must have when migrating to this Storage Class.
'The MVCs in MVCPool PPP are only of media type MMM' is output if:
Storage Class SSS does not specify media, or
There is no overlap between the media (MMM) of the MVCs in MVCPool PPP and the media required when migrating to this Storage Class, or
There are no RTDs available in the configuration/ACS AA with device types capable of writing the media (MMM) contained in MVCPool PPP.
'MVCPool PPP contains no free MVCs (in any ACS/in ACS NN) (with the specified media)' is output only if MVCPool PPP contains MVCs with the media required when migrating to this Storage Class, but none of the MVCs are free (empty).
'in any ACS' is output if no ACS was specified by the definition of Storage Class SSS. The search for free MVCs is limited to MVCs in an ACS.
'in ACS NN' is output if ACS(NN) was specified by the definition of Storage Class SSS. The search for free MVCs is limited to MVCs in ACS NN.
'(with the specified media)' is output if media were specified by the definition of Storage Class SSS.
Migration to this Storage Class can be successful even if this message is output, as partially full (Used) MVCs of Storage Class SSS can be used (if there are any with the specified media and/or ACS).
Non-library MVCs within MVCPool PPP with the specified media may also be used (if there are any).
'VTSS TTT has no RTDs defined (in ACS AA)' is output only if there are no RTDs connected to VTSS TTT (in ACS AA). '(in ACS AA)' is output only if Storage Class SSS specifies 'ACS(AA)'.
If Storage Class SSS specifies 'ACS(AA)', only ACS AA is checked for RTDs connected to VTSS TTT.
If Storage Class SSS does not specify an ACS, all ACSs are checked for RTDs connected to VTSS TTT.
'The RTDs defined in the configuration/ACS AA are only of device type DDD' is output if there is no overlap between the device type(s) (DDD) of the RTDs connected to any VTSS (in ACS AA) and:
the device type(s) required when migrating to this Storage Class, or
the device type(s) required to write the media contained in MVCPool PPP.
'(in ACS AA)' is output only if Storage Class SSS specifies 'ACS(AA)'.
If Storage Class SSS specifies 'ACS(AA)', only RTDs in ACS AA that are connected to VTSS TTT are checked.
If Storage Class SSS does not specify an ACS, all RTDs that are connected to VTSS TTT are checked.
'VTSS TTT has no suitable RTD online (in ACS AA)' is output only if there are RTDs connected to VTSS TTT (in ACS AA) with the device type(s) required but none of the RTDs are online.
The RTDs device types are those that are required to:
migrate to this Storage Class,
restricted to the media contained in MVCPool PPP that match the Storage Class media specification.
'(in ACS AA)' is output only if Storage Class SSS specifies 'ACS(AA)'.
If Storage Class SSS specifies 'ACS(AA)', only RTDs in ACS AA that are connected to VTSS TTT are checked.
If Storage Class SSS does not specify an ACS, all RTDs that are connected to VTSS TTT are checked.
'VTVs can not be consolidated to an MVC in a VLE' is output if:
VTVs are being consolidated as a result of the EXPORT or CONSolid commands, and
VTCS processing has ignored MVC(s) of media VL-MVC or RTD(s) of device type VL because VTVs can not be consolidated to an MVC in a VLE.
System Action
: None
User Response
: Use the original error message (SLS6853E-SLS6859E) and its help text and the information output by this message to diagnose why an MVC could not be selected for migration.
VTV
VVVVVV
has VTVPAGE(
SIZE1
) and resident in VTSS
SSSSSSSS
, the CDS indicates VTVPAGE(
SIZE2
)
Explanation
: Whilst processing VTV VVVVVV, VTCS has determined that the VTV is resident in VTSS SSSSSSSS where it is stored with a page size of SIZE1. However, this is contradicted by the information recorded in the CDS, where the VTV is shown to be stored with a page size of SIZE2. Each of SIZE1 and SIZE2 will be LARGE or STANDARD.
System Action
: Processing continues.
User Response
: Contact StorageTek software support.
RRR VVVVVV
attribute
AAAAAAA
not supported by output CDS
Explanation
: The VTV/MVC record for volume VVVVVV has an attribute that is not supported by the CDS level or the CDS configuration being written to. Allowing it to be written to the output CDS could cause compatibility issues with lower releases of VTCS. The attribute AAAAAAA can be one of ">32000 VTVs", "VTVPAGE=LARGE", "MAXVTVSZ=2000/4000" "MAXVTVSZ=32000" or "INPLACE".
System Action
: Processing aborts once all VTVs and MVCs have been checked.
User Response
: Upgrade the CDS level using the VTCS CONFIG utility. For import, there is also the option of excluding the reported VTVs and MVCs by the use of parameters.
VTSSSEL function
FFF
(RECORD
RRR
) specifies undefined MVCPOOL

Explanation
: A VTSSSEL rule for function FFF specifies MVC Pool PPP, but that MVC Pool is not defined. The specification of this rule ends on record RRR within the MGMTDEF data set.
System Action
: VTCS processing continues.
User Response
: If the MVC Pool specified by the VTSSSEL rule is correct, add the definition of MVC Pool PPP to the MVC Pools then issue the VT MVCDEF command to reload the MVC Pool definitions.
If the MVC Pool specified by the VTSSSEL rule is incorrect, correct the definition of the VTSSSEL rule then issue the MGMTDEF command to reload the VTSSSEL rules.

PPPPPPPP
/
TTTTTTTT
Explanation
: VTCS has discovered a synchronous export attempt for VTV VVVVVV from VTSS FFFFFFFF to VTSS TTTTTTTT in tapeplex PPPPPPPP has either succeeded, failed or been dropped. A dropped condition exists when synchronous export is initiated and either times out or does not report failed.
System Action
: For successful VTV synchronous exports no further action is taken. If a non-enhanced export attempt has failed or been dropped VTCS will recover the associated CLINK and any secondary VTD and drive a single asynchronous attempt for the failed VTV. Failed enhanced export attempts currently do not attempt any resource recovery. However VTCS will attempt a single asynchronous request for the failed VTV.
User Response
: No user response is necessary for successful synchronous exports. For failed enhanced export attempts manual state changes may be necessary. Issue the Display LINKSto command to show the current state of all links. If necessary vary the links back into the desired state.

TTT
VVVVVV
(in range
RRR
) can not be deleted because
BBB
Explanation
: CONFIG could not delete volume VVVVVV, which is in range RRR and of type TTT (MVC/VTV), from the CDS for the reason given (BBB).
CONFIG was attempting to delete each volume in the range because the range was not defined on this execution of CONFIG, though it had been defined to the CDS in a previous execution of CONFIG.
Reason is one of:
it is mounted -
is not empty -
it is resident in a VTSS -
there are migrated copies of the VTV -
the volume is being used -
System Action
: CONFIG terminates with a non-zero Return Code.
User Response
: Check that the CONFIG input is correct, as this determines which ranges are to be deleted.
Ensure all MVCs to be deleted are not in use and are empty.
If this message shows an MVC as not being empty, drain the MVC.
Ensure all VTVs to be deleted are not in use and are not resident in any VTSS and do not have migrated copies.
When all MVCs and VTVs to be deleted are in the correct state, re-run CONFIG.

Export of VTV
VVVVVV
to TAPEPLEX
TTTTTTTT
rejected:
EEEEEEEE
Explanation
: VTCS issues this message when an error has been detected during the electronic export of VTV VVVVVV to TAPEPLEX TTTTTTTT. Error message EEEEEEEE describes the precise nature of the error:
'Access denied by POOLPARM':
The POOLPARM definitions in effect in TapePlex TTTTTTTT caused the electronic export of VTV VVVVVV to be rejected.
'Attempt to import older version of the VTV':
TapePlex TTTTTTTT contains a version of VTV VVVVVV that is more recent than the version that this system attempted to electronically export.
'Does not support large page size VTVs':
VTV VVVVVV was created using large page sizes, which TapePlex TTTTTTTT does not support.
'Does not support this size VTV':
VTV VVVVVV has maximum VTV size MMMM, which TapePlex TTTTTTTT does not support.
'Not allowed to import from this TapePlex':
TapePlex TTTTTTTT does not allow imports from this TapePlex.
'Sent to the wrong TapePlex (WWWWWWWW)':
The electronic export request was delivered to TapePlex WWWWWWWW rather than to TapePlex TTTTTTTT, indicating a configuration error.
'Unsupported VTV attributes':
VTV VVVVVV has attributes which TapePlex TTTTTTTT does not support.
'VTV copy cannot be overwritten':
VTV VVVVVV is in a state (e.g. mounted) in TapePlex TTTTTTTT which prevents the VTV from being overwritten.
'VTV is import blocked':
Processing of a previous import of VTV VVVVVV failed to complete in TapePlex TTTTTTTT, leaving the VTV unable to be imported again.
'VTV is not defined in the CDS':
VTV VVVVVV is not defined in the CDS used by TapePlex TTTTTTTT.
System Action
: The electronic export fails. For some errors, VTCS will atempt to re-drive the electronic export.
User Response
: Take the appropriate action in accordance with the error message.
'Access denied by POOLPARM':
Check that the POOLPARM definitions in effect in TapePlex TTTTTTTT are correct. Ensure that all VTVs electronically exported to TapePlex TTTTTTTT can be imported into TapePlex TTTTTTTT.
'Attempt to import older version of the VTV':
No action is necessary.
'Does not support large page size VTVs':
Ensure that all VTVs electronically exported to TapePlex TTTTTTTT have attributes that are supported by TapePlex TTTTTTTT.
'Does not support this size VTV':
Ensure that all VTVs electronically exported to TapePlex TTTTTTTT have attributes that are supported by TapePlex TTTTTTTT.
'Not allowed to import from this TapePlex':
Either change this system so that it does not attempt electronic exports to TapePlex TTTTTTTT, or change TapePlex TTTTTTTT to accept imports from this system.
'Sent to the wrong TapePlex (WWWWWWWW)':
Correct the system configuration(s) so that electronic exports to TapePlex TTTTTTTT are delivered to the correct TapePlex.
'Unsupported VTV attributes':
Ensure that all VTVs electronically exported to TapePlex TTTTTTTT have attributes that are supported by TapePlex TTTTTTTT.
'VTV copy cannot be overwritten':
No action is necessary.
'VTV is import blocked':
Issue command 'Query VTV(VVVVVV)' in TapePlex TTTTTTTT to determine the device (DDDD) that the previous import used. This is shown on the line 'Importing: DDDD'. The Query output should also show 'Electronic Imported: PPPPPPPP', where PPPPPPPP is the name of this TapePlex. Issue command 'DISM VVVVVV,DDDD' in TapePlex TTTTTTTT to dismount the VTV and allow future imports.
'VTV is not defined in the CDS':
Check whether VTV VVVVVV should be defined in the CDS used by TapePlex TTTTTTTT. Ensure that all VTVs electronically exported to TapePlex TTTTTTTT are defined in the CDS used by TapePlex TTTTTTTT.

PPPPPPPP
Explanation
: The definition for the storage class SSSSSSSS has a parameter called XXXX that incorrectly refers to PPPPPPPP. Typically PPPPPPPP is the name of another tapeplex.
System Action
: The utility fails.
User Response
: Check and correct the management and storage class definitions.
There are no RTDs in
XXX
capable of writing the media contained in MVCPool
PPP
(SC
SSS
)
Explanation
: Storage Class SSS specifies/implies that MVCs are to be selected from MVCPool PPP.
If XXX in the message is 'ACS AA':
The definition of Storage Class SSS is of the format STORclas NAME(SSS) ACS(AA)
MVCPool PPP is defined, but none of the MVCs in MVCPool PPP have media that can be written by the RTDs in ACS AA.
If XXX in the message is 'the configuration':
The definition of Storage Class SSS is of the format STORclas NAME(SSS) ... (without the ACS(AA) parameter).
MVCPool PPP is defined, but none of the MVCs in MVCPool PPP have media that can be written by the RTDs in the configuration.
The presence/absence of the MVCPOOL(PPP) parameter on the STORCLAS definition indicates the MVCPool from which MVCs are to be selected when migrating to that Storage Class.
If the definition of Storage Class SSS is of the format STORclas NAME(SSS) MVCPOOL(PPP) ..., MVCs are to be selected from MVCPool PPP.
If the definition of Storage Class SSS is of the format STORclas NAME(SSS) ... (without the MVCPOOL(PPP) parameter), MVCs are to be selected from MVCPool DEFAULTPOOL.
VTCS gives the name DEFAULTPOOL to the pool of MVCs that are specified in unnamed MVCPool(s) (of the format MVCPool Volser(VVVVVV) ..., without the NAME(PPP) parameter).
All migrations to Storage Class SSS, or that request an MVC from this MVC pool, will fail.
System Action
: VTCS processing continues.
User Response
: If the STORCLAS definition specifies/implies the correct MVCPool, correct the definition of MVCPool PPP to include MVCs of media that can be written by the RTDs available in the configuration/ACS AA (as appropriate). Then issue the VT MVCDEF command to reload the MVCPool definitions.
If the STORCLAS definition specifies/implies the incorrect MVCPool, correct the Storage Class definition then issue the MGMTDEF command to reload the Storage Class definitions.
There are no RTDs in the configuration capable of writing the media contained in the DEFAULTPOOL
Explanation
: VTCS gives the name DEFAULTPOOL to the pool of MVCs that are specified in unnamed MVCPool(s) (of the format MVCPool Volser(VVVVVV) ..., without the 'NAME(PPP)' parameter).
The DEFAULTPOOL is defined, but none of the MVCs in DEFAULTPOOL have media that can be written by the RTDs in the configuration.
There are no STORCLAS definitions that imply the use of the DEFAULTPOOL, as all STORCLAS definitions are of the format STORclas NAME(SSS) MVCPOOL(PPP) ...
VTCS has checked the MVCs in the DEFAULTPOOL because the DEFAULTPOOL will be used when migrating a VTV that has no MGMTCLAS or an undefined MGMTCLAS.
All migrations to this MVCPool will fail.
System Action
: VTCS processing continues.
User Response
: VT QU MVCP NAME(ALL) can be issued to display the media types in MVCPool DEFAULTPOOL.
VT QU CONFIG can be issued to display the RTD device types.
If it is possible that VTVs have/will be created without a MGMTCLAS, or with a MGMTCLAS that is undefined on this host (e.g. by being created on another host that uses different MGMTDEF definitions), correct the definition of the DEFAULTPOOL to include MVCs of media that can be written by the RTDs available in the configuration. Then issue the VT MVCDEF command to reload the MVCPool definitions.

Invalid TAPEPLEX name '
NNNN
' specified for option '
KKKKKK
'
Explanation
: The name NNNN supplied in keyword KKKKKK is either not a tapeplex name or has not been added as a valid tapeplex name in the CDS.
System Action
: The utility terminates.
User Response
: Correct the control cards as appropriate and rerun the job. If the tapeplex name is correct, then review the VTCS configuration.
RTD
RRRR
device type of
TTTTTTTT
not verified. LSM
AA:LL
is offline
Explanation
: VTCS has been unable to verify the device type of RTD RRRR since the containing LSM is offline. VTCS assumes the device is of the same type as it was the last time the LSM was online. If the device type is not a valid RTD device type, this message will be followed by message SLS6619E.
System Action
: VTCS continues using the unverified device type.
User Response
: The LSM should be varied online. If the device type is correct, no further action is required. If not, then the RTD should be varied online.
Device
DDDD
cannot be used as an RTD on this host because it is not defined to
TTTTTTTT
Explanation
: Device DDDD is defined as an RTD in the VTCS configuration. The definition is invalid because the device is not in the HSC configuration for the tapeplex TTTTTTTT.
System Action
: VTCS continues processing but the device cannot be used as an RTD on this VTCS host.
User Response
: Check the definition and usage of device DDDD in the VTCS CONFIG and the LIBGEN for the tapeplex TTTTTTTT.
If the definitions should be for a local device i.e. the tapeplex LOCALHSC, then DDDD should be defined as a device in the LIBGEN for the local host.
If the definition is for a remote device in storage manager TTTTTTTT, then DDDD should be defined in the LIBGEN for the host that is providing access to that tapeplex.
If necessary, use the HSC 'SET SLIDRIVS' utility to modify the appropriate HSC LIBGEN. Once the problem has been corrected, using the command 'VT VARY RTD(DDDD)' to attempt to relocate the drive information.
VOLUME LEVEL SYNCH REPLICATION {SUCCESSFUL|FAILED|DROPPED} FOR VTV
vtvid
FROM VTSS
privtss
TO VTSS
secvtss
Explanation
: VTCS has discovered the synchronous replication attempt for VTV vtvid from primary VTSS privtss to secondary VTSS secvtss has either succeeded, failed or been dropped. A dropped condition exists when synchronous replication is initiated and either times out or does not report failed.
System Action
: For successful VTV synchronous replications no further action is taken. If a non-enhanced replication attempt has failed or been dropped VTCS will recover the associated CLINK and any secondary VTD and drive a single asynchronous replication attempt for the failed VTV. Failed enhanced replication attempts currently do not attempt any resource recovery. However VTCS will attempt a single asynchronous request for the failed VTV.
User Response
: No user response is necessary for successful synchronous replications. For failed enhanced replication attempts manual state changes may be necessary. Issue the Display LINKSto command to show the current state of all links. If necessary vary the links back into the desired state.
VTV
VVVVVV
rejected; unknown tapeplex name
TTTTTTTT
encountered in the manifest file
Explanation
: Within the manifest file, the tapeplex name of TTTTTTTT is associated with VTV VVVVVV but the tapeplex name is not defined in the VTCS configuration.
System Action
: The VTV is ignored (and is not imported) and processing continues.
User Response
: If the VTV was expected to be rejected (because tapeplex TTTTTTTT is no longer in the VTCS configuration), no action is necessary. Otherwise, define tapeplex TTTTTTTT in the VTCS configuration and then import the VTV.
STORCLAS

Explanation
: Storage Class SSS specifies that tapeplex XXX is to be used for storing copies of VTVs. Unfortunately, there appears to be no devices defined that reference this tapeplex.
System Action
: VTCS processing continues. Any VTVs that reference this storage class will be locked down as resident until the problem is addressed.
User Response
: Either add devices to the configuration that reference tapeplex XXX or correct the storage class definition.

: VTSS NNNNNNNN has been detected without 32 RTD support. An invalid configuration has been defined which contains either more than 16 RTD/CLinks or a channel interface address of ci:n where n is 2 or 3.
System Action
: Initialization of the VTSS is terminated and HSC processing continues with the VTSS set 'not accessible'.
User Response
: Correct the configuration parameters and rerun the CONFIG utility to redefine the VTCS configuration.
RC
CCCCCCC1
returned from CDS Logging request. An error message briefly describing the error condition is appended
Explanation
: VTCS attempted to log an event, but the operation failed for the reason described in the error message.
System Action
: The logging operation fails and the request to which it relates is either re-scheduled, or fails.
User Response
: Take the appropriate action depending on the return code reported:
7501 - No log files defined.
The logging policy in VTCS is defined as required but logging has not been established in HSC. Consult the HSC documentation on how to set up logging within HSC.
7502 - log file(s) are full.
VTCS will be degraded as no further logging or CDS updates for important VTCS events will be allowed until the offload process has been performed and the ability to log re-established.
7503 - Failure during logging operation.
An internal error has occurred when VTCS attempted to log an event. Contact StorageTek Software Support quoting the return code produced.
VTCS batch updates to the CDS are disallowed where VTCS logging is mandatory. Run CONFIG to revert to optional VTCS batch updates to the CDS are disallowed where VTCS logging is mandatory
Explanation
: VTCS attempted to perform a CDS batch update, but logging within VTCS is specified as mandatory.
System Action
: The operation fails. To enable batch processes to update the CDS, logging in VTCS must be specified as optional.
User Response
: The most likely cause of the above is that logging is specified within VTCS as required. Run CONFIG with global variable LOGPOL=OPTional to revert to optional logging within VTCS.

Explanation
: The Log Utility uses the Log File records to construct a picture of VTVs existing on MVCs. When processing Log File record NNNNNNNN adding a new VTV, the start block number YYYYYYYY of the VTV on the MVC was either not one greater than the end block number XXXXXXXX of the previous VTV when PPPPP = "end", or was not greater than the start block number XXXXXXXX of the previous VTV when PPPPP = "start". This indicates that there is some unknown activity that has not been captured in the Log File.
System Action
: The SORT is abandoned and the Log File Utility terminates.
User Response
: Determine the reason for the missing Log File activity

Explanation
: The Log Utility uses the Log File records to construct a picture of VTVs existing on MVCs. When processing Log File record NNNNNNNN resetting the EOT blkid to 0 for MVC MMMMMM, the active VTV count and deleted VTV count fields should also be zero.
Either XXXX and/or YYYY were found to be non-zero. This is an unforeseen data validation error situation.
System Action
: The SORT is abandoned and the Log File Utility terminates.
User Response
: Contact StorageTek Software Support.
CCCCCCC1
error for CDS
Explanation
: VTCS attempted to perform operation CCCCCCC1 against the CDS, but the operation failed.
System Action
: The command that VTCS is attempting to process fails.
User Response
: If the failure was caused by invalid user JCL, correct and re-submit the job.
CCCCCCC1
transaction sequence number warning:
CDS
CCCCCCC2
: Log files
CCCCCCC3
Explanation
: The logging system uses an ascending sequence number for each update that is logged. This sequence number is written to the log record and to the CDS.
VTCS logging utility CCCCCCC1
has detected that the last logged update recorded in the CDS caused log record sequence number CCCCCCC2
to be written.
The log files supplied to the job should include the next highest log record sequence number (CCCCCCC2
+ 1), but the log files start from log record sequence number CCCCCCC3
.
This difference implies that logged transactions have been excluded from the recovery process which may result in an incomplete recovery.
System Action
: Processing continues, however the discrepancy should be investigated. If a logged transactions data set has been omitted from the recovery process, the data set should be included and the job rerun.
User Response
: Investigate the discrepancy and if necessary, include any missing logged transactions data set(s) and rerun the recovery.

Explanation
: This message shows the details of VTV VVVVVV found on MVC MMMMMM while performing an inventory of the MVC. The details are those recorded on MVC MMMMMM, not in the CDS:
PPPP/BBBBBBBB shows the location on MVC MMMMMM where VTV VVVVVV begins - PPPP is the partition and BBBBBBBB is the block information.
CCC is the date/time VTV VVVVVV was created (if known).
RRR is the date VTV VVVVVV was migrated to MVC MMMMMM (if known).
OOO is an optional comment, which is output only if the INVENTRY utility specified CDScheck(Full/Mvc). If the CDS indicates that a resident or MVC copy of VTV VVVVVV exists and it differs from the copy described in this message, message SLS6934I will be output to describe the CDS copy of VTV VVVVVV.
OOO comments on the details of VTV VVVVVV recorded in the CDS relative to the copy of VTV VVVVVV found on MVC MMMMMM:
'CDS VTV is not defined' - VTV VVVVVV is not defined in the CDS.
This is an error. This situation should not occur if VTV VVVVVV was migrated to MVC MMMMMM while using this CDS.
'CDS shows no VTV copy' - the CDS indicates no copy of VTV VVVVVV has ever been created.
This is an error. This situation should not occur if VTV VVVVVV was migrated to MVC MMMMMM while using this CDS.
'CDS shows an older VTV' - the copy of VTV VVVVVV recorded in the CDS has an older (less recent) creation date/time than the copy of VTV VVVVVV found on MVC MMMMMM.
This is an error. This situation should not occur if VTV VVVVVV was migrated to MVC MMMMMM while using this CDS.
'CDS shows a newer VTV' - the copy of VTV VVVVVV recorded in the CDS has a newer (more recent) creation date/time than the copy of VTV VVVVVV found on MVC MMMMMM.
This is normal and can occur as follows:
VTV VVVVVV is created at date/time CCC and migrated to MVC MMMMMM at block BBB.
At later date/time DDD, another copy of VTV VVVVVV is created.
VTCS will update the CDS to show it has unlinked VTV VVVVVV from MVC MMMMMM, though VTV VVVVVV will still exist physically on MVC MMMMMM.
'CDS shows same age VTV' - the copy of VTV VVVVVV recorded in the CDS has the same creation date/time as the copy of VTV VVVVVV found on MVC MMMMMM. However, the CDS does not show a copy of VTV VVVVVV at location PPPP/BBBBBBBB on MVC MMMMMM.
This is normal and can occur as follows:
VTV VVVVVV is created at date/time CCC and migrated to MVC MMMMMM at block BBB.
MVC MMMMMM is drained.
VTV VVVVVV is recalled from MVC MMMMMM and migrated to MVC NNNNNN.
VTCS will update the CDS to show it has unlinked VTV VVVVVV from MVC MMMMMM, though VTV VVVVVV will still exist physically on MVC MMMMMM.
'CDS shows matching VTV' - the copy of VTV VVVVVV recorded in the CDS has the same creation date/time as the copy of the VTV found on MVC MMMMMM. Additionally, the CDS shows a migrated copy of this VTV at location PPPP/BBBBBBBB MVC MMMMMM.
This is normal and indicates this is a current copy of VTV VVVVVV.
System Action
: Processing continues.
User Response
: If comment 'CDS VTV is not defined', 'CDS shows no VTV copy' or 'CDS shows an older VTV' was output:
investigate why this is the case.
if comment 'CDS VTV is not defined' was output and VTV VVVVVV should be defined in the CDS, define it using the appropriate procedure.
if the CDS should be in step with the contents of MVC MMMMMM, perform an audit of MVC MMMMMM.
Otherwise, none.

CCC is the date/time VTV VVVVVV was created (if known).
RRR is the date VTV VVVVVV was migrated to MVC MMMMMM (if known).
Though the CDS indicates a copy of VTV VVVVVV is present on MVC MMMMMM, VTV VVVVVV was not found on MVC MMMMMM while performing an inventory of the MVC.
System Action

Explanation
: VTV VVVVVV was found at block BBB1 on MVC MMMMMM while performing an inventory of the MVC.
Block BBB1 is on/past block BBB2, which the CDS shows to be the logical end-of-tape (LEOT) position for this MVC, i.e. the position to which the next migration will occur. This does not indicate an error if MVC MMMMMM has been drained or reclaimed, as the recalled VTVs will still exist physically on the MVC.
The INVENTRY utility specified STOPleot(YES), i.e. that processing should terminate when the logical end-of-tape (LEOT) position was reached.
System Action
: Processing of MVC MMMMMM terminates. The return code is set to 0.

MVC|VTV definitions deleted from|targeted for deletion from|added to|targeted for addition to configuration
Explanation
: While running CONFIG or SET VOLPARM, a change in VTV and/or MVC definitions occurred.
If CONFIG has NOUPDATE specified or VOLPARM has APPLY(NO), then the message reflects VTV and/or MVC definitions that would be targeted for change.
It should be noted when this message states VTVs and/or MVCs have been deleted that they have not been physically removed from the database. Rather a logical deletion state has been set and the space occupied will not be reused.
When this message states that VTVs and/or MVCs have been added this can reflect the logical deletion state has been removed or new volumes have been added that were not previously defined.
System Action
: If running CONFIG without NOUPDATE or SET VOLPARM with APPLY(YES), VTV and/or MVC range definitions are changed in the configuration otherwise no update to the configuration takes place.
User Response
: To obtain the list of VTV or MVC definitions deleted, run DECOMP with the LISTDELR keyword. When VTV or MVC definitions are added simply run DECOMP to obtain a report of all VTVs and MVCs defined.

HHHHHHH2 is the host name that has locked the resource.
System Action
: The request that is currently being processed will be re-queued to be processed later. If the required resource is still not available at that time, the error message will be deleted, then reissued with an updated elapsed time. This process will be repeated until the lock on the required resource has been released by the owning host.
User Response
: Examine the host that is currently holding the required resource. The Display LOCKS command may be used to provide detailed information on the locks that are currently being held by each host and task in the system. If the activity causing the lock to be held is processing normally, take no action. The lock will be obtained eventually and message SLS6946E will be deleted automatically by VTCS.
If the activity causing the lock to be held appears to be stuck, consider canceling the request. If you are unable to determine why the lock is held, or why it is not being released, contact StorageTek for assistance.
No MGMTCLAS statements have been defined or loaded.
UUUUUUUU
processing has been abandoned
Explanation
: An attempt to execute VTCS utility UUUUUUUU failed because no MGMTCLAS statements have been defined or loaded. As the processing performed by the utility is determined by the MGMTCLAS (and associated) statements, processing has been abandoned.
If POLICYDD(ddd) was specified on the utility statement, no MGMTCLAS statements were present in the MGMTDEF file specified by //ddd.
If POLICYDD(ddd) was not specified on the utility statement:
no MGMTDEF file has been loaded in the HSC/VTCS address space, or
no MGMTCLAS statements were present in the file specified by the MGMTDEF command in the HSC/VTCS address space.
System Action
: Processing terminates with return code 8.
User Response
: Ensure MGMTCLAS statements are present in the relevant MGMTDEF file before re-executing the utility.
Initiating swap of MVC
VVVVVV
from RTD
RRRRRRRR
to device type
TTTTTTTT
Explanation
: An error has occurred while processing MVC VVVVVV. The MVC is being swapped from RTD RRRRRRRR to device type TTTTTTTT.
System Action
: The current action will be attempted upon another RTD. The device type being swapped to has been influenced by an MVCATTR SWAPTO policy definition.
User Response
: The reason for the error should be investigated. Check the SYSLOG for other indications as to the nature of the error.
If the MVC is damaged or suspect, then use the MVCDRAIN command to remove all VTVs from the MVC.
However, if the error occurred on a VOLSAFE (WORM) tape, do not drain the MVC without the recommendation of Oracle/StorageTek Support. Once a WORM tape is drained, it can no longer be used for migration and must be replaced.
If the problem keeps reoccurring upon the same RTD, use the VARY command to vary the RTD offline and contact StorageTek Hardware Support.
The CDS contains
BBBBB
free blocks
Explanation
: The CDS has BBBBB free blocks available for expansion.
System Action
: None
User Response
: None
VTSS
VVVVVVVV
does not support global MAXVTVSZ of
NNNN
- defaulting to
DDDD
Explanation
: VTVs of the size specified by the global MAXVTVSZ parameter (NNNN) cannot be created because VTSS VVVVVVVV is at a microcode level that does not support this VTV size.
System Action
: Processing continues, but VTVs of the requested size will not be created. The MAXVTVSZ specification will now default to the largest VTV size supported by all of the VTSSs in the configuration (DDDD).
User Response
: If VTVs of the requested size are required then upgrade the VTSS to a supporting microcode level and recycle HSC/VTCS or vary the VTSS offline/online to activate the feature.
Config Warning:
XXXXXXXX
Explanation
: When running the configuration utility, a situation was detected that may require attention. The message XXXXXXXX gives the reason for the warning.
System Action
: The remainder of the configuration statements will be processed and the CDS updated provided no error conditions are encountered. Configuration ends with RC=4.
User Response
: Review the message text to determine the reason for the warning. Perform any post configuration tasks necessary.
AAA
VVVVVV
is an invalid
volser
, it is not defined in the CDS
Explanation
: The error occurred while running a LOGUTIL utility. Volser VVVVVV was specified on the AAA (VTV or MVC) keyword. VVVVVV is not a valid AAA (VTV or MVC) volser defined in the CDS.
System Action
: The utility continues on to the next volser. If volser VVVVVV is the last volser to process then the utility ends.
User Response
: Correct the volser parameter and re-run the utility.
MVC
VVVVVV
contains zero qualifying VTVs
Explanation
: The FOR_LOSTMVC utility was requested to recover the VTVs on MVC VVVVVV. After applying the specific VTV filters, there were zero qualifying VTVs. Hence no recovery is necessary.
System Action
: The utility continues on to the next MVC. If volser VVVVVV was the last MVC to process then the utility ends.
User Response
: None, unless the VTV keyword was specified. If the VTV keyword was specified, remove it and re-run the utility.
VTV
v1
: MVC
m1
was picked as the recovery MVC but contains errors
Explanation
: A LOGUTIL utility selected MVC m1 as the best candidate to recover VTV v1. The MVC is either not in the CDS or has some combination of the LOST, BROKE, and DATA CHECK bits on. The MVC may have problems when RECALL or AUDIT is attempted against it.
System Action
: The utility continues processing.
User Response
: Try to correct the problem with the MVC before running RECALL or AUDIT against it. If the RECALL or AUDIT fails and there are alternate MVC copies, attempt the operation against a different alternate MVC copy of the VTV.
CCCCCCCC
parameter exceeds
NNNNNNNN
volumes
Explanation
: The CCCCCCCC parameter was specified for a LOGUTIL utility. The number of volumes specified on the parameter exceeds NNNNNNNN (maximum permitted).
System Action
: The utility terminates with RC=8.
User Response
: Correct the parameter and re-run the utility.
One or more volsers were duplicated on the
CCC
parameter
Explanation
: The CCC parameter was specified for a LOGUTIL utility. At least one volser was found duplicated on the CCC parameter.
System Action
: The duplicate volser is ignored.
User Response
: Correct the parameter and re-run the utility if necessary.
Volume
MMMMMM
is not an MVC
Explanation
: AUDIT or INVENTRY was being executed for MVC MMMMMM. VTCS issued an ECAM call to locate a VTV on the MVC. The ECAM response (RC=5/114, which is suppressed) indicates that the volume is not formatted as an MVC.
System Action
: Processing of this volume terminates with RC=8.
If AUDIT was being executed:
VTCS will not check for VTVs that the CDS shows as being on the MVC but were not found. This is necessary to stop such VTVs from being unlinked from the MVC.
The MVC will be left in a state of 'Being audited/Audit failed'.
If INVENTRY was being executed and CDScheck(Full) was specified, then VTCS will check for VTVs that the CDS shows as being on the MVC, but were not found. It is safe to do this as INVENTRY does not update the CDS.
User Response
:
Until the problem is resolved, the MVC should not be written to. This can be achieved by executing 'MVCMAINT MVC(MMMMMM) READONLY(ON)' to mark the MVC as read-only.
'MVCRPT MVC(MMMMMM) DETail' can be executed to determine the VTVs that the CDS shows as being on the MVC, in case recovery action is necessary.
Check that the correct tape was mounted. Ensure there are not multiple volumes with the same volser, with the non-MVC volume being mounted rather than the MVC volume. If that is the case, re-run the AUDIT or INVENTRY, this time mounting the correct volume.
If the correct volume (which should be an MVC) was mounted, or the problem cannot be resolved, contact StorageTek Software Support.
XXXXXXXX
copy of VTV
VVVVVV
found; recovery is not necessary since the VTV is not in deleted status
Explanation
: Recovery of VTV VVVVVV was requested by the UNDELETE utility. The UNDELETE utility will only recover VTVs that are in deleted status. To be in deleted status, the VTV can not have any resident or migrated copies. VTV VVVVVV has a XXXXXXXX (resident or migrated) copy so recovery is not necessary.
System Action
: The utility continues on to the next VTV. If volser VVVVVV was the last VTV to process then the utility ends.
User Response
: None
The manifest file contains
NN
MVC volsers. The maximum number that can be specified is
LL
Explanation
: MVCMAINT was executed using a manifest file to specify the MVCs to be processed. The command was of the format 'MVCMAINT MANIFEST(ddname) options'. The manifest file contains NN MVC volsers. The maximum number of MVC volsers that can be specified using a manifest file is LL.
System Action
: No MVCs are processed. The utility terminates with RC=8.
User Response
: Rather than using a manifest file to specify the MVC volsers, construct MVCMAINT commands of the format 'MVCMAINT MVC(volser(s)) options'. The MVC volsers that would have been processed using the manifest file can be determined by running MVCRPT against the manifest file.
UUU
parameter
PPP
requires HSC/VTCS active
Explanation
: An attempt to execute utility UUU failed because parameter PPP was specified and HSC/VTCS is not active.
System Action
: The utility terminates with return code 8.
User Response
: Ensure HSC/VTCS is active on this system, then rerun the utility.
Requested version of VTV
VVVVVV
does not exist, recovery is not possible
Explanation
: Recovery of the requested version of VTV VVVVVV is not possible. The VTV version to recover is specified on the VERSION or DATE/TIME parameters of the LOCATE_VTV command. There were no migrated or electronically exported copies found of this VTV version in the LOGUTIL structure so recovery is not possible.
System Action
: The utility continues on to the next VTV. If volser VVVVVV was the last VTV to process then the utility ends.
User Response
: Check to make sure the correct CDS log files were included on the LOGUTIL LOGDD. If not then include the correct log files and re-run the utility.
Also check to make sure the correct version number was specified on the VERSION or DATE/TIME parameters. All versions found are listed in the report output. If the wrong version was specified then re-run the utility with the correct version number specified.
Recovery of version 0 is not permitted,
YYYY
-MM
-DD
HH:MM:SS
matches version 0 for VTV
VVVVVV
Explanation
: Recovery of version 0 of a VTV is not permitted by the LOCATE_VTV utility. The LOCATE_VTV utility was run requesting recovery of VTV VVVVVV with DATE=YYYY-MM-DD and TIME=HH:MM:SS. Recovery of this VTV is not permitted since these values match version 0 for this VTV.
System Action
: The utility continues on to the next VTV. If volser VVVVVV was the last VTV to process then the utility ends.
User Response
: If recovery is needed for version 0 of this VTV then consider using another utility to recover the data (AUDIT, UNDELETE, etc.) If an incorrect value was specified for the DATE/TIME parameters then re-run the utility with the correct values specified.
VTV version
VVVVVV
CDATE
CTIME
is newer than version 0. Ensure correct CDS and log files were used
Explanation
: The LOCATE_VTV utility was run requesting recovery of VTV VVVVVV. A version of VTV VVVVVV was found in the log files with a create date of CDATE and create time of CTIME. This version of the VTV is newer than version 0. This condition can only occur in one of two situations:
The data sets specified on the LOGUTIL LOGDD DD statement are not related to the CDS used by the utility.
A CDS copy is being used by the utility that is older than the log data sets.
System Action
: The utility continues on to the next version of VTV VVVVVV. If CDATE CTIME is the last version of this VTV then the utility proceeds to the next VTV. If there are no more VTVs to process then the utility ends.
User Response
: If incorrect data set names were specified for the CDS or log files then correct the data set names and re-run the utility. If recovery of this VTV version is still desired then re-run the utility specifying CDATE/CTIME on the DATE/TIME parameters.
An internal error has occurred during LOGUTIL processing: VTV
VVVVVV
,
XXXXXXXX
Explanation
: An internal error has occurred during LOGUTIL command processing. The VTV volser that is currently being processed and an internal storage address are displayed for diagnostic purposes
System Action
: Log File Utility terminates abnormally.
User Response
: Contact StorageTek Software Support.
RTD:
NNNN
placed in OFFLINE/MAINTENANCE mode,
XXXXXX
does not support partitioning
Explanation
: RTD NNNN has been placed in MAINTENANCE mode or the path to the RTD has been taken OFFLINE.
The VTCS configuration is enabled for partitioning, but the RTD or VTSS does not support partitioning. XXXXXX will state either "the RTD" or "VTSS: vtssname".
System Action
: Depending on the RTD configuration, the indicated RTD will be placed in MAINTENANCE mode, or the path to the RTD will be put OFFLINE.
User Response
: n configurations with partitioning enabled in VTCS, all RTD device types capable of supporting partitioning mode must have the proper microcode running in the drive.
In addition, any RTD capable of supporting partitioning mode attached to a non-capable VTSS will be placed into MAINTENANCE/OFFLINE mode when partitioning is enabled in VTCS.
Contact Oracle/STK support if necessary.
CF structure conflict:
CF structure SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS is in use by host(s) using CDS: dsname CDS creation date=yyyymmdd time=hh:mm:ss Last CDS restore date=yyyymmdd time=hh:mm:ss
Explanation
: Multiple systems using different CDSs are not permitted to use the same Coupling Facility structure. Coupling Facility structure SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS has already been initialized by HSC/VTCS, running on this or another host, before this HSC/VTCS started.
The message shows the characteristics of the CDS used by the initializing HSC/VTCS. This HSC/VTCS is not permitted to use Coupling Facility structure SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS as it is using a different CDS to the initializing HSC/VTCS.
System Action
: VTCS initialization terminates.
User Response
: Ensure that different CDSs specify different Coupling Facility structure names, then stop and restart this HSC/VTCS. If further assistance is required, contact StorageTek Software Support.
MVC,
MMMMMM
, cannot be mounted on RTD
RRRRRRRR
because it is mounted on another device
Explanation
: VTCS attempted to mount MVC MMMMMM on RTD RRRRRRRR in a Virtual Library Extension. The request failed because the MVC is mounted on another device, which may or may not be defined as an RTD to this system.
System Action
: The request will be retried with an alternate MVC if one is available. Otherwise, depending on the number of consecutive errors that have occurred, VTCS will either retry the mount of MVC MMMMMM or cancel the request.
User Response
: Investigate the problem as it indicates VTCS was not aware of the location of the MVC. If the cause is not understood, contact StorageTek software support.
RECLAIM MVC
MMMMMM
unable to free space EOT remains
PPPP
/
BBBBBBBB
VTV count
VVV
deleted VTV count
DDD
Explanation
: This message is generated for partitioned tape volumes. During reclaim processing no partitions could be freed for MVC MMMMMM. EOT is not reset and remains as PPPP/BBBBBBBB where PPPP is partition id and BBBBBBBB is block id. VTV counts VVV (total VTVs) and DDD (deleted VTV count) also remain unchanged.
System Action
: MVC usage remains unchanged. This includes MVC wasted and used space as well as VTV counts.
User Response
: MVCs with a small number of free partitions should be drained. MVCs with no free partitions must be drained. MVC detail reporting will list any free partitions.
CDS free block calculation failed with RC=X'
RRRRRRRR
'
Explanation
: CONFIG processing invoked an HSC service to determine the number of free blocks in the CDS prior to updating the CDS with any configuration changes. This service failed with return code X'RRRRRRRR'.
System Action
: The CDS is not updated with the configuration changes. CONFIG processing terminates with RC=12.
User Response
: Report this problem to StorageTek software support.
The configuration changes require
MMM
free CDS blocks, but the CDS contains only
NNN
free blocks
Explanation
: CONFIG processing has detected that the CDS must be updated, as the VTCS configuration has changed. These changes require MMM free CDS blocks, but the CDS contains only NNN free blocks.
System Action
: The CDS is not updated with the configuration changes. CONFIG processing terminates with RC=12.
User Response
: Resize the current CDS (using CDS EXpand) or create a new CDS, to ensure that the CDS to be updated contains at least MMM free CDS blocks. Then rerun the CONFIG utility.
VTV
V1
cannot be chained to MVC
V2
. Partition
PPPP
is not empty
Explanation
: The Log Utility uses the Log File records to construct a picture of VTVs existing on MVCs. A Log File record was encountered where VTV V1 was migrated to MVC V2. VTV V1 spanned to more than one partition on the MVC. A partition must be empty (no VTVs) in order for a spanning VTV to be chained to it. The Log Utility attempted to chain VTV V1 to partition PPPP but found that the partition was not empty.
System Action
: The utility fails with return code 8.
User Response
: The Log File contents are suspect. Contact StorageTek Software Support.
Illegal attempt to
CCC
the partition map for MVC
V1
Explanation
: While processing the Log File, a record was encountered that resulted in an attempt to CCC (create or free) the partition map for MVC V1. The attempt to CCC the partition map failed because there were active VTVs chained to the partition map.
System Action
: The utility fails with return code 8.
User Response
: The Log File contents are suspect. Contact StorageTek Software Support.

TCP/IP
CCCCCCCCCCCCC IIIIIIII
error
RRRRRRR EEEEEEE DDDDDDDDDDDDD
Explanation
: The VTSS IP Client task manager module issued the command CCCCCCCCCCCCC at instance IIIIIIII (if applicable) and got an error.
RRRRRRR (if applicable) is the decimal value of the RETCODE field.
EEEEEEE (if applicable) is the decimal value of the ERRNO field.
DDDDDDDDDDDDD (if applicable) is the error number message name.
System Action
: The action taken depends on the context of when the command was issued. There may be an abend. The IP Client task manager may attempt to restart itself or just fail the currently executing request. The error may just be related to a single connection in which case connection error isolation and recovery steps will be performed.
User Response
: Look for error messages associated with the failing VTSS IP Client task manager to ascertain the cause of the problem. Refer the problem to StorageTek Software Support.

Explanation
: The VTSS IP Client task manager module has received an error while processing a command with VTSS VVVVVVVV using the IP definition in the CONFIG. The command failed for reason RRRRRRRR. See associated messages for further details of the TCP/IP connection and the command results.
System Action
: If the VTSS IP Client task manager is initializing the connection is marked unusable. VTCS continues with any further connections.
If all defined connections fail to establish then the Client task manager for this VTSS will terminate.
If the VTSS IP Client task manager has initialized and this error occurs, the connection will be marked in error. Connection error recovery will attempt to reestablish the connection when it runs periodically.
User Response
: Look for error messages associated with the failing VTSS IP Client task manager to ascertain the cause of the problem. Check that the IP connection definition specifies the correct name or IP Address. Check the networking infrastructure is stable, operational, and physically present!

VTV
VVVVVV
with MGMTCLAS
MMM
cannot be
XXXXXXXXXX
synchronously from VTSS
SSS
Explanation
: VTV VVVVVV with MGMTCLAS MMM has been mounted on a VTD in VTSS SSS. The management class, or an associated storage class, specifies that the VTV is to be:
replicated synchronously (REP(YES_SYNC) specified on the management class), or
exported synchronously (TAPEPLEX(TTT) SYNC(YES) specified on an associated storage class).
VTCS is unable to honor this request. Possible reasons for this are:
The VTCS configuration does not specify SYNCHREP=YES.
VTSS SSS or the target VTSSs do not support synchronous replications.
All target VTSSs are offline.
There are no clinks online from VTSS SSS to the target VTSSs.
The VTV is mounted on an 'ECAM only' VTD in VTSS SSS. These VTDs cannot be used for synchronous operations.
For synchronous replication requests, VTSS SSS is not part of a cluster.
For synchronous export requests:
ttt is not the name of a tapeplex.
ttt is the name of the local tapeplex, rather than of another tapeplex.
System Action
: VTCS does not request (at mount time) that the requested action (replication or export) be performed synchronously on the VTV. If it is possible to do so, VTCS will perform the action asynchronously after the VTV is dismounted.
User Response
: Check that all of the following are true and perform any necessary corrective action:
The VTCS configuration specifies SYNCHREP=YES. Command 'VT D CONFIG' will display the value of SYNCHREP
VTSS SSS and the target VTSSs support synchronous replications. Command 'VT D VTSS DET' will show if the VTSSs have 'Sync replicate' support.
A target VTSS is online. Command 'VT QU VTSS' will display the status of the VTSSs.
There are clinks online from VTSS SSS to the target VTSSs. Command 'VT D CLINK' displays clink status.
VTVs requiring synchronous replication/export are not mounted on 'ECAM only' VTDs in VTSS SSS. Command 'VT D VTD ALL VTSS(SSS)' will display the VTDs in VTSS SSS, including the 'ECAM only' VTDs.
For synchronous replication requests, VTSS SSS is part of a cluster. Command 'VT D CLUSTER' will show whether VTSS SSS is part of a cluster.
For synchronous export requests, TTT is the name of a tapeplex that is not the local tapeplex.
MVC

Explanation
: This message provides the TCP/IP connection details and is issued in conjunction with a prior message describing the event that has occurred.
YYYYYYYY is the VTSS name
N is the ordinal connection definition for the VTSS as defined in the CONFIG
AAAAAAAA is the connection definition which may be a DNS name or an IP Address.
If AAAAAAAA is a DNS name then BBBBBBBB will be the corresponding IP Address.
If AAAAAAAA is an IP Address then BBBBBBBB will be a corresponding DNS name.
PPPPP is the port.
SSSSS is the socket.
If the length of the information to be displayed is greater than one message can handle, two messages are issued.
The first SLS6984 message has up to and including the AAAAAAAA field.
The second SLS6984 message begins with the characters 'continued...' and then has the BBBBBBBB, PPPPP and SSSSS fields.

: Check the TCP/IP connection definitions in CONFIG are correct. Look for error messages associated with the failing VTSS IP Client task manager to ascertain the cause of the problem. Refer the problem to StorageTek Software Support.
subsystem
AAAAAAAA
XXXXXXXX
, but expected
YYYYYYYY
Explanation
: Subsystem field AAAAAAAA has value XXXXXXXX when value YYYYYYYY was expected.
System Action
: The connection is marked unusable. VTCS continues with any further connections. If all defined connections fail to establish then the Client task manager for this VTSS will terminate.
User Response
: This provides further information for the prior SLS6980 error message. This is indicative of a mismatch between the VTSS defined in the CONFIG and the VTSS that is connected over the IP link specified (either by name or IP Address). The mismatch may be because the wrong name has been specified or when multiple connections have been specified but they are resolved to different VTSSs.
VTSS
VVVVVVVV
All IP connections are now in an error state
Explanation
: The VTSS IP Client task manager for VTSS VVVVVVVV has marked the last (or only) available IP connection in error. The VTSS has now lost its TCP/IP connectivity and can no longer be controlled by TCP/IP.
System Action
: The VTSS IP Client task manager will periodically retry establishing connectivity with the VTSS using the connections marked in error. The retries occur more often during the system determined initial recovery time interval and less often thereafter. The retries will continue indefinitely while the VTSS is in an online state. All pending requests will be failed.
User Response
: Look for error messages associated with the failing VTSS IP Client task manager for further indications of the problem. Check the networking infrastructure is stable, operational, and physically present!
Replace the IP card in the VTSS if it seems like it is the suspect at fault. Refer the problem to StorageTek Software Support.
VTSS
VVVVVVVV
All connections in error and initial recovery time interval exceeded
Explanation
: The VTSS IP Client task manager for VTSS VVVVVVVV has been trying often to reestablish the connections to the VTSS for the defined initial recovery time interval. This period of time has now expired and no connections have been reestablished.
System Action
: The VTSS IP Client task manager continues trying to reestablish the connections indefinitely, but less often. The VTSS remains in an unusable condition.
User Response
: Look for error messages associated with the failing VTSS IP Client task manager for further indications of the problem(s). Check the networking infrastructure is stable, operational, and physically present! The VTSS may be varied offline and online again to immediately retry establishing the connections. Replace the IP card(s) in the VTSS if it seems like this is the source of the problem(s). Refer the problem to StorageTek Software Support.
If OPTION is specified, it must have the value UNAVAIL
Explanation
: VTVRPT specified the optional parameter OPTION, but with a value other than UNAVAIL.
System Action
: VTVRPT terminates with return code 8.

VVVVVVVV
TCP/IP SELECTEX error and all socket activity masks zero. Task shutting down
Explanation
: The VTSS IP Client task manager for VTSS VVVVVVVV issued the SELECTEX macro to check for activity. No socket activity masks were set so presumably the error was concerning the timeout and/or ECB processing.
System Action
: The VTSS IP Client task manager for this VTSS will terminate as this is an unexpected error.
User Response
: Look for error messages associated with the failing VTSS IP Client task manager for further indications of the problem(s). Check the networking infrastructure is stable, operational, and physically present! The VTSS may be varied offline and online again to immediately retry establishing the connections. Refer the problem to StorageTek Software Support.

Explanation
: The VTSS IP Client task manager module for VTSS VVVVVVVV is making a dynamic change to the IP definition N in the CONFIG. The dynamic change description DDDDDD may be 'add', 'change' or 'delete'.
The definition in the CONFIG has been changed from the one which is currently running. An add will open a new connection. For a change the current connection will be closed and then reopened with the new definition. A delete will close the current connection.
System Action
: Processing continues.
User Response
: This is just for information.
No STORMNGRs were found with deduplication enabled
Explanation
: No STORMNGRs were found with the deduplication feature enabled. The Storage Class report only reports on STORMNGRs with the deduplication feature enabled.
System Action
: The utility ends with return code 8.
User Response
: Once the deduplication feature is enabled, re-run the report.
No valid MVCs were found
Explanation
: No valid MVCs were found. To be valid an MVC must be defined in the CDS and reside in one or more STORMNGRs defined to the CDS. Either no valid MVCs were found or they were disqualified by the STORCLAS parameter.
System Action
: The utility ends with return code 4.
User Response
: If valid MVCs exist, then try running the report without the STORCLAS parameter.
VTSS
VVVVVVVV
No (potentially) working IP connections remain
Explanation
: A new CONFIG has been implemented and one or more IP connection definitions have been deleted. The VTSS IP Client task manager for VTSS VVVVVVVV has deleted the last available IP connection. The VTSS has now lost its TCP/IP connectivity and can no longer be controlled by TCP/IP.
System Action
: The VTSS IP Client task manager remains active, but can only do anything when a new valid set of IP connection definitions are implemented by a new CONFIG run. All pending requests will be failed.
User Response
: For the IP connection definition(s) that were not initialized at start up, look for error messages associated with the failing VTSS IP Client task manager for further indications of the problem. Check the networking infrastructure is stable, operational, and physically present! Replace the IP card in the VTSS if it seems like it is the suspect at fault. Ensure the new CONFIG being implemented is not inadvertently missing a number of IP connection definitions. Refer the problem to StorageTek Software Support.
Invalid (MAXAGE|TIMEOUT)
n
specified
Explanation
: An invalid MAXAGE and/or TIMEOUT value was specified on the DRMONitr utility command statement.
System Action
: The DRMONitr utility aborts with return code 8.
User Response
: Correct the value and re-submit the utility.
DRMONitr runtime has exceeded TIMEOUT limit of
nnn
minutes
Explanation
: The runtime of the DRMONitr utility has exceeded the allowable runtime (nnn), in minutes, specified by the TIMEOUT parameter.
System Action
: The DRMONitr utility continues processing, checking the DR copy status of all remaining VTVs specified. If the TIMEOUT value specified is non-zero, return code 8 is set. If the TIMEOUT value specified is zero, a return code 4 is set if a VTV's DR copy is found incomplete.
User Response
: Investigate the reason for the timeout condition. Adjust the TIMEOUT value accordingly
VTV selection by (MGMTclas|VTVid|DSN) found no VTVs to monitor
Explanation
: The specified VTV selection criteria choice (MGMTclas, VTVid or DSN) could not select any VTVs to monitor.
System Action
: The DRMONitr utility aborts with return code 8.
User Response
: Ensure the correct selection criteria is specified for VTV selection. Also note any utility exception messages which may indicate the reason for no VTV selection.
VTV {selection|destination} criteria not specified on DRMONitr utility command statement
Explanation
: The DRMONitr utility command statement does not specify:
any selection criteria for identifying VTVs to monitor or
any destination criteria for identifying VTV copy destinations
System Action
: The DRMONitr utility aborts with return code 8.
User Response
: If VTV selection criteria not specified caused the error you must specify MGMTclas, VTVid, or DSN on the DRMONitr command statement to identify VTVs to monitor. If VTV destination criteria not specified caused the error you must specify STORclas and/or REPLICAT to identify VTV copy destination.
Required function not specified on DRCHKPT utility command statement
Explanation
: The DRCHKPT utility command statement does not specify the required function. SET or CLEAR must be specified on the DRCHKPT utility command statement for this purpose.
System Action
: The DRCHKPT utility aborts with return code 8.
User Response
: Specify SET or CLEAR on the DRCHKPT command statement to specify the desired function.
MVC
MMMMMM
rejected for migration because it needs to be audited to resolve anomalies
Explanation
: MVC MMMMMM was selected for migration, but cannot be used as VTCS has calculated that there is a negative amount of space remaining on the MVC. This can occur if the CDS is not synchronized with the contents of the MVC.
System Action
: VTCS changes the status of the MVC to 'audit required' to prevent migrations to it until it has been audited.
User Response
: Run AUDIT MVC(MMMMMM) to ensure the CDS accurately reflects the contents of the MVC. Contact StorageTek Software Support if you do not understand how this error occurred or if you require assistance.
RECALWER=YES|NO is an obsolete parameter. RECALWER=NO is now the default always used
Explanation
: The default for recall with error processing may no longer be specified in the CONFIG GLOBAL statement. RECALWER=NO is the product default.
If recall with error processing is desired it may be specified explicitly on those commands which support it, e.g. CONSOLID, EEXPORT, MVCDRAIN and RECALL.
System Action
: The CONFIG utility continues processing.
User Response
: At a convenient time, update the CONFIG file to remove the obsolete parameter RECALWER.
Incompatible VTCS configuration detected by DRCHKPT utility
Explanation
: The DRCHKPT utility detected a VTCS configuration incompatibility in the CDS.
System Action
: The DRCHKPT utility aborts with return code 8.
User Response
: Run the CONFIGuration utility to correct the VTCS configuration incompatibility in the CDS.
RTD
CCCCCCCC
has a bad configuration on the Library and/or paths:
SSSS1
/
SSSS2
Explanation
: When initializing RTD CCCCCCCC, VTCS obtained the device serial number from the device path (SSSS1) and from the HSC (SSSS2).
The two serials should match, but did not.
The test is designed to detect errors where the physical cabling of the RTD does not match the definition of the RTD in the VTCS configuration, but the message may also be output if the RTD is replaced with HSC/VTCS active.
System Action
: The RTD is regarded as broken and will not be used, though will not be forced offline or put into maintenance mode.
User Response
: If the configuration has been changed recently, check that the physical cabling of the RTD matches the definition of the RTD in the VTCS configuration. Correct any errors, then vary the RTD online (*) in order to perform a retry.
If the RTD has been replaced with HSC/VTCS active, perform one of the following actions so that HSC will recognize the new serial number:
If the ACS containing the RTD supports the F CONFIG command and this command was not issued between the time the RTD was replaced and varying the RTD online, issue the F CONFIG UPDate ACS(acs-id) DRVinfo command now. Then vary the RTD online (*) in order to perform a retry.
If the ACS containing the RTD does not support the F CONFIG command, modify the LSM containing the RTD offline and then online. Then vary the RTD online (*) in order to perform a retry. (*) even if it is already online.
If none of the above resolve the error, contact StorageTek software support.

Invalid cluster
CCC
The configuration of cluster CCC is invalid VTSSs PPP and SSS have different connectivity VTSS XXX has clink connectivity to tapeplex EEE, but VTSS YYY does not (Clinks from VTSS PPP to VTSS SSS will be terminated)
Explanation
: VTCS found an error in the configuration of cluster CCC.
Each VTSS in a cluster must have identical clink connectivity to tapeplexes. That is, if one VTSS in the cluster has clink connectivity to tapeplex EEE, then so must all other VTSSs in the cluster.
VTCS found that VTSS XXX has clink connectivity to tapeplex EEE, but VTSS YYY does not. It will be impossible to perform electronic exports of VTVs from VTSS YYY to tapeplex EEE.
System Action
: If there are any clinks from VTSS PPP to VTSS SSS, VTCS will terminate them. It will then be impossible to replicate VTVs from VTSS PPP to VTSS SSS.
User Response
: Ensure that each VTSS in cluster CCC has identical clink connectivity to tapeplex EEE.
Depending on whether the VTCS configuration is correct for VTSS XXX or for VTSS YYY, change the configuration to:
add clink connectivity to tapeplex EEE to VTSS YYY (and any other VTSSs in cluster CCC that do not have such connectivity), or
remove clink connectivity to tapeplex EEE from VTSS XXX (and any other VTSSs in cluster CCC that have such connectivity).
Then run the CONFIG utility (the RESET option is unnecessary). The problem will be resolved automatically once VTCS recognizes the configuration change.
Invalid cluster
CCC
The configuration of cluster CCC is invalid VTSSs PPP and SSS have different connectivity VTSS XXX has connectivity to TTT RTDs in LLL, but VTSS YYY does not LLL TTT RTDs: DDDD (Clinks from VTSS PPP and VTSS SSS will be terminated)
Explanation
: VTCS found an error in the configuration of cluster CCC.
In the message 'LLL' is 'ACS NNN' or 'stormngr MMM'
Each VTSS in a cluster must have identical connectivity to RTDs by device type and location. That is, if one VTSS in the cluster has connectivity to RTDs of device type TTT in location LLL, then so must all other VTSSs in the cluster.
VTCS found that VTSS XXX has connectivity to RTDs of device type TTT in location LLL, but VTSS YYY does not.
DDDD shows the device numbers (maximum of 6) of RTDs of device type TTT in location LLL where VTSS XXX has connectivity to these RTDs but VTSS YYY does not.
System Action
: If there are any clinks from VTSS PPP to VTSS SSS, VTCS will terminate them. It will then be impossible to replicate VTVs from VTSS PPP to VTSS SSS.
User Response
: Ensure that each VTSS in cluster CCC has identical connectivity to RTDs of device type TTT in location LLL.
D CONFIG displays the device type and location of each RTD in the configuration and the VTSSs that have connectivity to the RTD.
Depending on whether the VTCS configuration is correct for VTSS XXX or for VTSS YYY, change the configuration to:
add connectivity to RTDs of device type TTT in location LLL to VTSS YYY (and any other VTSSs in cluster CCC that do not have such connectivity).
It is not necessary for VTSS YYY to have connectivity to each of the devices shown by 'LLL TTT RTDs: DDDD', but VTSS YYY must have connectivity to at least one RTD of device type TTT in location LLL, or,
remove connectivity to RTDs of device type TTT in location LLL from VTSS XXX (and any other VTSSs in cluster CCC that have such connectivity).
Then run the CONFIG utility (the RESET option is unnecessary). The problem will be resolved automatically once VTCS recognizes the configuration change.
Unable to read the partition map for MVC
MMMMMM
. The MVC has been marked as readonly
Explanation
: MVC MMMMMM has been written in partitioned mode. Each partitioned MVC should have a record (known as the 'partition map') in the CDS that describes the usage of the partitions.
VTCS was unable to read the partition map for MVC MMMMMM, indicating the partition map does not exist or exists but is not correctly linked to the MVC record.
System Action
: VTCS creates a partition map for MVC MMMMMM with default contents and links it to the MVC record. This partition map will not reflect the usage of the partitions until the MVC is drained or audited.
VTCS marks the MVC as readonly in the CDS in order to prevent migrations to the MVC until the partition map accurately reflects the usage of the partitions.
User Response
: Drain or audit the MVC.
If this message is issued while the MVC is being drained or audited, it is not necessary to perform another drain or audit.
Once the drain or audit completes successfully, the MVC may be marked as writable by running MVCMAINT MVC(MMMMMM) READONLY(OFF).
Failed mount/dismount on
DDDDDDDD
:
RRRRRRRR
Explanation
: A RTD mount or dismount directed to another tapeplex for device DDDDDDDD failed. The message returned by the other tapeplex was RRRRRRRR.
System Action
: Depending upon the reason for the error on the remote tapeplex, VTCS may either fail the mount or dismount or initiate a use dialogue to enable recovery of the situation.
User Response
: The reason RRRRRRRR may contain an additional message to be looked up. This will typically contain more precise information about the error.
Also consult the logs of the tapeplex that is supposed to be servicing the device DDDDDDDD. This should be able to give additional information about the state of the RTD or the ability to mount volumes.
The associated SLS6894I or SLS6895I messages should give information as to the reason for the mount or dismount.
Found
NNNN
duplicate MVCs in
SSSSSSSS
Explanation
: When VTCS starts up or the MVC pools are changed, it instigates a search of all storage managers for MVCs. When scanning storage manager SSSSSSSS, it found NNNN MVCs that were also found in either the local CDS or other storage managers.
System Action
: The effected MVCs will be placed into an error location called '*MANY*'. Any reference to VTV copies on an MVC with this location should fail as VTCS is unable to determine which location has the correct copy.
User Response
: Run an MVC report to identify the affected MVCs. Then run a VOLRPT for both the local HSC and each of the storage managers. By cross checking the reports it should be possible to identify the multiple versions of each MVC.
The problem could also be the result of a configuration problem due to VTCS being pointed to storage manager via two different routes. It may also be that particular MVCs should not be defined in the CDS.
Error during {catalog lookup|SDD processing} for {DDN|DSN}
DDDDDDDD
;
reason
explanation
Explanation
: A VTCS operation requested from an SMC client detected an error processing a DSN parameter or a translated DDN parameter.
System Action
: The requested operation is not performed for the DSN in error. If the catalog lookup or SDD process could not be done, then no VTVs are processed.
User Response
: Determine the reason for the error and resubmit the SMC request.
DELETSCR not allowed on a DRTEST system without POOLPARM/VOLPARM definitions in effect
Explanation
: The DELETSCR Utility command may not be executed on a DRTEST system if POOLPARM/VOLPARM definitions are not in effect.
System Action
: The DELETSCR Utility command is terminated.
User Response
: Either run the DELETSCR Utility command on a Production system appropriately or set up the DRTEST environment using POOLPARM and VOLPARM definitions.
DELETSCR for non DRTEST volume
VVVVVV
not allowed on a DRTEST system
Explanation
: The DELETSCR Utility command, while processing volumes after initial parameter validation, has encountered a situation which is not allowed.
DELETSCR for a non DRTEST volume VVVVVV is not allowed if running on a DRTEST system.
System Action
: The utility terminates immediately.
User Response
: If executing the DELETSCR Utility command on a DRTEST system, the only VTVs which may be deleted are those which have been defined as DRTEST volumes using the POOLPARM/VOLPARM definitions. Reconsider your DELETSCR processing requirements and resubmit the utility on chosen environment appropriately.
Attempt to vary
LINKS
AAAAAAAA/BBBBBBBB
state1 failed, LINKS unexpectedly found state2.
Explanation
: A command was issued to vary the LINKS from AAAAAAAA to BBBBBBBB into the state specified in state1. While waiting for the LINKS to get to this state, the LINKS were unexpectedly found in the state specified in state2.
System Action
: The Vary will be abandoned and the LINKS will stay in state2.
User Response
: If the LINKS are desired in a different state than they currently are, then re-issue the Vary LINKS command to change the LINKS to the desired state.
Migrate|Recall of VTV
VVVVVV
has failed because of a timestamp mismatch
Explanation
: The TIMESTAMP parameter supplied on the MIGRATE or RECALL command does not match the VTV copy being requested for migration or recall.
System Action
: The VTV is skipped and, if possible, processing continues.
User Response
: If possible, make another attempt to migrate or recall the VTV while running GTF. Contact Oracle/StorageTek support and provide the trace dataset.
Copy of VTV
VVVVVV
on MVC
MMMMMM
rejected; MVC is located within unknown STORMNGR
SSSSSSSS
Explanation
: The manifest file indicates there is a copy of VTV VVVVVV on MVC MMMMMM, and that MVC MMMMMM is located within STORMNGR SSSSSSSS. That STORMNGR is not defined in the VTCS configuration.
System Action
: The copy of VTV VVVVVV on MVC MMMMMM will be ignored, but other copies of VTV VVVVVV will be processed. If all copies of VTV VVVVVV are located within unknown STORMNGRs, the VTV will not be imported.
User Response
: If the copy of VTV VVVVVV on MVC MMMMMM was expected to be rejected (because STORMNGR SSSSSSSS is no longer in the VTCS configuration), no action is necessary. Otherwise, define STORMNGR SSSSSSSS in the VTCS configuration and then (re-)import the VTV.
Recall failed VTV
volser
is archived
Explanation
: A recall operation was attempted against VTV volser and has failed due to the VTV being archived in the cloud.
System Action
: The recall request is purged from the system since this error requires manual intervention. If the recall was for a virtual mount, the job waiting for the mount to complete will go into a wait state. While in the wait state, the SMC mount monitor will continue to redrive the mount request. The wait state will persist until the VTV is either mounted, the mount times out, or the job is cancelled.
User Response
: Use the SMC ROUTE command to start the VLE restore_VTV operation. Use the SMC ROUTE VLE query_restore operation to determine when the VTV is restored. If needed, cancel the job that is waiting for the mount.
Links to
RRRRRRRR
from VTSS
VVVVVVVV
established; state is
SSSSSSS
Explanation
: Replication links have been established from source VTSS VVVVVVVV to target VTSS RRRRRRRR. The state of the link can be ONLINE, OFFLINE or OFF-FAIL.
An ONLINE state indicates successful connectivity to the replication link and is ready for work.
An OFFLINE state indicates the replication link has been varied offline.
An OFF-FAIL state indicates that the replication link has been changed to an offline state due to a failure.
System Action
: VTCS processing continues.
User Response
: If the current status of the link does not show the desired state, issue the Vary LINKSto command to bring it into the desired state.
Replication link

attempt
Explanation
: An ecam request, QQQQQQQQ, was issued for replication link LLLLLLLL from VTSS VVVVVVVV but failed with condition code CCC and reason code RRR.
System Action
: Depending upon the nature of the error and the processing at the time, the replication link is disabled. However, VTCS will attempt replication with any available replication links.
User Response
: The reason for the error should be investigated. Check the SYSLOG for other indications as to the nature of the error. If the problem persists contact Oracle/StorageTek hardware support.
VTSS
VVVVVVVV
cluster|tapeplex
DDDDDDDD
Enhanced Replication disabled, not all connectivity supports enhanced replication.
Explanation
: Although VTSS VVVVVVVV supports the enhanced replication feature, enhanced replication capabilities have been suppressed because not all connectivity in the cluster, or to the remote tapeplex, DDDDDDDD, supports enhanced replication. Enhanced replication can only take place when all connectivity within a local cluster or to a remote tapeplex supports enhanced replication.
System Action
: VTCS processing continues however all replication is made without enhanced replication methods.
User Response
: If enhanced replication is desired all connectivity within the local cluster or to a remote tapeplex must support enhanced replication.
Determination of volsers in STORMNGR
VVVVVVVV
failed with RC=
CCCCCCCC
Reason=
SSSSSSSS
|- unable to issue the command
Explanation
: VTCS maintains an area in storage called the MVC cache which contains details of each MVC's location, media and other properties. The primary use of the MVC cache is the selection of MVCs for migration.
The MVC cache is formatted when VTCS starts and when MVC pools are reloaded. The MVC cache is automatically refreshed periodically by VTCS and is also refreshed when the D MVCP command is entered or the MVCPLRPT utility is executed.
In order to format or refresh the MVC cache, VTCS must issue a command to storage manager VVVVVVVV to determine the volsers it contains. The command is routed through SMC.If the message text contains '- unable to issue the command', VTCS was unable to issue the command. This occurs if VTCS is unable to communicate with SMC. No MVC cache entries will have been formatted or refreshed.If the message text contains 'with RC=CCCCCCCC Reason=SSSSSSSS', VTCS issued the command but it failed with return code X'CCCCCCCC' reason code X'SSSSSSSS'. Some MVC cache entries may have been formatted or refreshed before the command failed.If the MVC cache was being formatted, any MVC whose cache entry was not formatted will not be available for migration.If the MVC cache was being refreshed, the failure will have no impact if the MVC cache was successfully formatted previously.
System Action
: The command will be re-driven if:
the error resulted from automatic VTCS processing (rather than from a command being issued or a utility being executed), and
the return code (X'CCCCCCCC') was >= X'100' or the reason code (X'SSSSSSSS') was >= X'100', and
VTCS has never successfully determined the volsers in storage manager VVVVVVVV.
Any re-drive will occur only when VTCS can communicate with SMC.
User Response
: If enhanced replication is desired all connectivity within the local cluster or to a remote tapeplex must support enhanced replication.
If the message text contains '- unable to issue the command', check that SMC is operational.
Investigate and correct any errors reported by SMC.
If message SLS6884E was also issued, investigate and correct the cause.
Investigate and correct the cause of return code X'CCCCCCCC' reason code X'SSSSSSSS' in this message. Consult the ELS Messages and Codes manual, sections 'VLE UUI Return Codes' and 'SMC UUI Return and Reason Codes'.
If the error can not be resolved, report the problem to StorageTek Software Support.
Recall of VTV

Reason=
SSSSSSSS
|- unable to issue the command}
Explanation
: In order to mount VTV VVVVVV, VTCS had to issue a command to tapeplex TTTTTTTT requesting that it export a copy of the VTV back to the local tapeplex. The command is routed through SMC on the local tapeplex to SMC on tapeplex TTTTTTTT.
System Action
: VTCS will fail the mount of VTV VVVVVV.
User Response
: If the message text contains '- unable to issue the command', check that SMC is operational on the local tapeplex and on tapeplex TTTTTTTT. Investigate and correct any errors reported by SMC on either tapeplex.
If message SLS6884E was issued on either tapeplex, investigate and correct the cause of any errors. Check for messages on tapeplex TTTTTTTT relating to VTV VVVVVV. Investigate and correct any errors.
Investigate and correct the cause of return code X'CCCCCCCC' reason code X'SSSSSSSS' in this message. Consult the ELS Messages and Codes manual, section 'SMC Return and Reason Codes'. If the error can not be resolved, report the problem to StorageTek Software Support.
