Operator Interventions - IBM TS7700 Series User Manual

Operator Interventions

At code level R1.7 operator interventions are newly added to notify customer that an error occurs. The
errors are also listed in the status file in the copy export list volume.
Failure-Reason Text
The database backup to physical volume
XXXXXX failed during the Copy Export
operation as a result of a media error.
A media error occurred during the Copy
Export operation and the physical volume
XXXXXX has been ejected. The medium
may be degraded, and should not be
reused in an export pool.
The Copy Export operation did not export
physical volume XXXXXX because the
primary copy for logical volume
YYYYYY is currently unavailable.

Recommended Action
During a Copy Export operation, the TS7700
encountered an unrecoverable error, indicating that the
media of the stacked volume is degraded. A database
backup was not written on the volume. The stacked
volume was not copy exported and it was placed in
READ-ONLY status. If the TS7700 determines that
any stacked volumes are in READ-ONLY status, it
starts a process that moves the valid logical volumes to
other stacked volumes, then ejects the stacked volume
from the logical library. The new stacked volumes
become candidates for the next Copy Export.

During a Copy Export operation, the TS7700 detected a
migrated-state logical volume with an unavailable
primary copy. The physical volume on which the
secondary copy of the logical volume is stored was not
exported. This step was skipped to ensure there is
continued access to this logical volume by the
subsystem. The logical volume and the physical
volume will be eligible for the next Copy Export
operation once the logical volume is mounted to and
demounted from the host.
