Intervention Required Condition
Message
Device xxx made unavailable by a VTS. (VTS z)
Probable Cause
During an operation with device xxx, the Virtual Tape
Server Controller determined that the device is not
operating correctly and requires service. It is likely that
the device has excessive read or write errors.
Message
A VTS does not have enough available physical
drives to continue operation. (VTS z)
Probable Cause
Physical drives associated with VTS z have become
unavailable either due to a drive failure or service
representative action. A VTS requires a minimum of two
available physical drives for operation.
Message
A VTS attempted unsuccessfully to eject a stacked
volume (xxxxxx) during disaster recovery. (VTS z)
Probable Cause
During processing of a physical volume during disaster
recovery, the VTS subsystem determined that the
physical volume was damaged and attempted to place
the volume in the I/O station, but the attempt failed. The
likely reason is that the cartridge has physical damage as
a result of the disaster and it interferes with the cell in the
I/O station.
