Intervention-Required Condition
Message
VTS requested that device xxx be made unavailable but
a mount/demount is in progress. (VTS z)
Probable Cause
The VTS determined that device xxx should be made
unavailable; however, the Library Manager found that a
mount or demount was in process and could not mark
the device as unavailable.
Message
Invalid mixture of VTS physical drive types. (VTS z)
Probable Cause
There can be only one physical drive type in the VTS.
For example, the VTS might contain only 3590 B1A Tape
Drives, or only 3590 E1A Tape Drives, or only 3590 H1A
Tape Drives, but it could not contain a combination of
these models.
Message
* A VTS does not have enough physical drives to
continue operation. (VTS z)
Probable Cause
Physical drives have been made unavailable, and there
are no longer enough drives to continue operation.
Message
Stacked volume xxxxxx failed scratch mount. Label
cannot be read. Tape needs to be re-initialized. (VTS z)
Probable Cause
Tape may need to be re-initialized.
Message
Stacked volume xxxxxx ejected due to incompatible
media type. (VTS z)
Probable Cause
The media type is incompatible.
