Problem conclusion
This problem was fixed. Affected platforms for reported release: AIX, HP, Linux, Solaris, and Windows. Fixed platforms: AIX, Linux, and Windows. ANR9013W The RESETDRIVES parameter was not specified for library XYZ. For this reason, the server cannot access tape drives that are reserved by another server in the specified library. Explanation If a reservation conflict occurs in a failover cluster or a shared library environment, the server cannot access tape drives that are already reserved by another server. To ensure that the server can clear a tape drive reservation, the RESETDRIVES=YES parameter must be specified. System Action System operation continues, but the server cannot access the tape drives that are reserved by another server in the failover cluster or shared library environment. User Response Issue the UPDATE LIBRARY command and set the RESETDRIVES parameter to YES. If you are in a failover cluster environment, set the RESETDRIVES parameter to YES when the SHARED parameter for the library is set to NO (default value). If you are in a shared library environment, set the RESETDRIVES parameter to YES when the SHARED parameter is set to YES. Tip: To determine the value of the SHARED parameter, issue the following command: query library library_name f=d where library_name specifies the name of the library. For tape drives reserved by a SCSI-2 reserve, the RESETDRIVES=YES parameter must be specified to enable a LUN reset to clear the reservation. A LUN reset is required only in an IBM AIX or Microsoft Windows environment. For tape drives reserved by a SCSI-3 persistent reserve, the RESETDRIVES=YES parameter must be specified to preempt or clear the reservation.
