CBR3446I   Media in drive drive-name has corrupted format.

Explanation

The format information on the media in drive drive-name is incorrect. This can be caused by bad media or a mismatch between the current mode sense format and that retrieved from the optical disk.

System action

Either the drive or volume could have caused the failure.

The volume could have caused the error if the media is not compatible with the drive; i.e., double capacity media mounted in a single capacity drive. Media that is contaminated and needs to be cleaned could also have caused the failure.

If the volume has not failed a previous request on another drive, the drive will be marked not operational and the volume flagged as having failed this request. The volume will then be mounted on another drive and the request retried.

If, however, the volume has failed a previous request on another drive, the drive will be internally varied online and message CBR3304I will be issued identifying the volume as the cause of failure.

Once the request is retried, the original failing drive will be brought back online by OAM. If the drive takes repeated similar errors, the drive will be taken permanently out of service and message CBR5513E will be issued.

Operator response

Contact hardware support if the drive continues to become not operational.

If the volume has been identified as the cause of error, see message CBR3304I and follow the instructions listed.

Note: This error may occur during cartridge entry if the cartridge is new and the write protect tabs are in the data protect position. If this is the case, reset the write protect tabs and reinsert the cartridge.

System programmer response

If the sense data displayed in the previous CBR3300I message does not equal zero then obtain the SYS1.LOGREC error record.
