volume may be damaged. During that operation,
customer data was not fully recovered, resulting in job
termination. The stacked volume was placed in read-only
mode to limit use to recall of other logical volumes only.
On an hourly basis, the Virtual Tape Server controller
determines whether there are any stacked volumes in
read-only mode and starts a process that moves the valid
logical volumes to other stacked volumes and then ejects
the damaged stacked volume from the library. See

needs to be performed and Virtual Tape Server z does
not have an empty stacked volume. The operations
that need empty stacked volumes are copying data
from the Tape Volume Cache or reclamation of
unusable space on stacked volumes.
