EDG4062I
VOLUME volser REJECTED. UNDEFINED VOLUME CANNOT BE ADDED - EXTERNAL VOLUME SERIAL NUMBER ALREADY IN USE

Explanation

A volume selected for use is not defined in the DFSMSrmm control data set. DFSMSrmm attempted to define the volume but detected that the external volume serial number was already in use for a volume with a different magnetic volume serial number. Note that the external volume serial number in a system managed tape library is synonymous with rack number for shelf-resident volumes.

In the message text:
volser
The volume serial number of the volume that is not defined and could not be added to the control data set.

System action

If DFSMSrmm is operating in warning mode, the volume specified in this message can be used and DFSMSrmm issues message EDG4004I. If DFSMSrmm is operating in protect mode, DFSMSrmm issues message EDG4005E or EDG4006E.

Operator response

None.

System programmer response

You must resolve the duplication between the volume serial number of the current volume and the rack number that is in use for another volume. You can take the following choices:
  • Move the volume from the existing rack number to another rack number, and free the rack number to be used for the current volume.
  • For a non-system managed current volume you can pre-add the volume to DFSMSrmm using an empty rack number that does not match the volser.
  • For a non-system managed volume or a system-managed volume remove the volume from the tape library and pre-define the volume to DFSMSrmm as a duplicate volume; use the current volser as the VOL1 label.
  • Delete information about the volume whose rack number matches the current volume.
