dev NOW UNLOADED [ - DEVICE IS BOXED]

Explanation

In response to an UNLOAD command, the system unloaded a volume from a device. In the message text:
dev
The device number of the device.
DEVICE IS BOXED
The device was boxed because of:
  • A hardware I/O error
  • VARY dev,OFFLINE,FORCE command processing
  • VARY CH(x),OFFLINE,FORCE command processing
When a device is boxed, these events occur:
  • I/O on the device ends.
  • Any new I/O requests result in permanent I/O errors.
  • The system does no new allocations for the device.
  • If the device was online, it is marked pending offline. A pending offline device goes offline when these conditions occur, in this order:
    1. The system no longer allocates the device to any job.
    2. Allocation can get the necessary resources to process the request.

    If the device was offline, it remains offline.
