mounted, the volume serial number read from the media

 

did not match what was expected. The volume is ejected

 

to the convenience I/O station.

 

This is likely caused by human intervention in the library

 

that involved moving physical cartridges between storage

 

cells and, when the library was returned to auto mode,

 

inventory update was disabled. Without performing

 

inventory update, the library has no way of updating its

 

database to know where cartridges have been moved.

 

 

 

Message

1. Notify your system administrator.

 

Orphaned logical volume xxxxxx found.

2. If this intervention occurs multiple times, call your

service representative.

 

Probable Cause

 

During a check of the Virtual Tape Server database, a

 

reference to logical volume xxxxxx was found, but there

 

is no record of its physical location. This could be the

 

result of a hardware or internal software problem. Any

 

data associated with the logical volume is lost.

xxxx). (VTS z)

 

Probable Cause

 

A disk drive in one of the Tape Volume Cache storage

 

capacity features of Virtual Tape Server z has failed.

 

Operations with the Virtual Tape Server continue, but

 

performance degradation may be experienced. Service is

 

required.

 

 

 

Message

1. Contact your service representative.

 

A permanent, non-recoverable Tape Volume Cache

 

error has occurred. (VTS z)

 

Probable Cause

 

During the initialization of the Virtual Tape Server z,

 

unrecoverable errors were detected with the Tape Volume

 

Cache. The Virtual Tape Server is unusable. Service is

 

required.
