CBR0178I   Invalid volume {free space | overflow free space} free space associated with volume volser.

Explanation

Either the volume free space column (FRESPACE) or the free space overflow column (FRESPACEO) in the row in the volume or tape volume table in the optical configuration database for volume volser contains an invalid value.
  • For an optical volume the volume free space column (FRESPACE) should not contain a negative value.
  • For a tape volume the volume free space column (FRESPACE) or the volume free space overflow column (FRESPACEO) should not contain a negative value.

System action

During initialization, OAM discovered that the volume free space column (FRESPACE) for this optical volume or tape volume volser or the volume free space overflow column (FRESPACEO) for tape volume volser in the optical configuration database was not correct. To allow OAM initialization to continue, OAM updated the row for this volume to set the volume writable status column (WRITABLE) to 'N' signifying that no more data can be written to this volume.

All requests for this volume, which are not write requests, will continue to be processed by OAM. However, until the table row is changed to contain a valid value in the volume free space column,or the volume free space overflow column, the WRITABLE column is set back to 'Y', and OAM is stopped then started to recognize the new values, no more data can be written to this volume. Attempts to write data to this volume will fail with a return/reason code pair which indicates that the volume is not writeable.

Operator response

Notify the system programmer.
