Starting with IBM Spectrum Protect Server version 8.1.13, any scratch tape volume handling can lead to ANR1411W due to write errors as the SCALECAPACITY operation on a drive is not possible under following specific conditions. - IBM 3592 drives are being used - SCALECAPACITY value is not 100 in the DEVCLASS settings - CHECKTAPEPOS option value is set to YES or DRIVEONLY In a server trace with traceflags PVR MMS this here can be seen: 09:21:44.524 [126785][pvrntp.c][8446][ReadLabelBlocks]:Read UHL1 block from drive DRIVE1 (/dev/lin_tape/by-serial/tape-TAPE1; sig=UHL1, label=XXXXXXJD . 09:21:44.524 [126350][pvrntp.c][6976][DumpBlock]:Calling NtpOpWrite with bufP 0x7f4cb8487000, writeAmt 262148 09:21:44.530 [126785][mmsscsi.c][2706][TraceMsg]:ANR8337I 3592 volume XXXXXXJD mounted in drive DRIVE1 (/dev/lin_tape/by-serial/tape-TAPE1).~ 09:21:44.530 [125963][pspvr.c][4189][PvrPsDevWrite]:handle = 12 wrote = 262148 requested = 262148 errno = 0 09:21:44.592 [126706][asvolacq.c][4685][TraceMsg]:ANR1340I Scratch volume XXXXXXJD is now defined in storage pool B.~ 09:21:44.646 [126751][pvr.c][14407][AgentThread]:PVR I/O agent (126751) finished READNC request; rc=0. 09:21:44.646 [126751][pvr.c][13927][AgentThread]:PVR I/O agent (126751) waiting for next request. 09:21:44.646 [126785][pspvr.c][4253][PvrPsTapeIoctl]:Tape IOCTL return code rc = -1 09:21:44.646 [126785][psntpop.c][4122][DetermineResult]:Error performing SCALECAPACITY operation on drive DRIVE1 (/dev/lin_tape/by-serial/tape-TAPE1); errno = 1 09:21:44.646 [126785][pspvr.c][4253][PvrPsTapeIoctl]:Tape IOCTL return code rc = 0 09:21:44.646 [126785][psntpop.c][4186][DetermineResult]:Drive DRIVE1 (/dev/lin_tape/by-serial/tape-TAPE1): sense=70.00.07.00.00.00.00.58.00.00.00.00.5A.02.FF.02.CF.18.00.0 0.00.09.01.91.00.01.00.00.00.00.15.12.34.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00 .00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.2E.00.01. 28.2C.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.43.38.45.20.20.20.20.00.C0.44.4A.4 8.4E.30.30.37.36.00.00.00.00.00.00.00 09:21:44.646 [126785][pvrntp.c][7759][WriteLabelBlocks]: rewind = 1 tapeRc = 2887 appendOnly = 1 09:21:44.646 [126785][pvrntp.c][9163][ErrorHandler]:tapeRc = 2887 rc = 0 09:21:44.650 [126785][mms.c][1676][MmsDismountVolume]:Dismounting volume XXXXXXJD from drive DRIVE1 (/dev/lin_tape/by-serial/tape-TAPE1) in library LIBRARYA. 09:21:44.650 [126785][mmsscsi.c][2761][ScsiDismountVolume]:Dismounting volume XXXXXXJD from drive DRIVE1 (/dev/lin_tape/by-serial/tape-TAPE1) in library LIBRARYA. 09:21:44.650 [126706][pvr.c][10441][pvrIsSharedLibrary]:className=TAPE3592-5A , rc=0, libname=LIBRARYA, libtype=SCSI, exists=1. 09:21:44.647 [126751][pvr.c][14407][AgentThread]:PVR I/O agent (126751) finished READNC request; rc=0. 09:21:44.647 [126751][pvr.c][13927][AgentThread]:PVR I/O agent (126751) waiting for next request. 09:21:44.647 [126706][asvol.c][2347][TraceMsg]:ANR1411W Access mode for volume XXXXXXJD now set to "read-only" due to write error.~ 09:21:44.647 [125963][pspvr.c][4189][PvrPsDevWrite]:handle = 12 wrote = 262148 requested = 262148 errno = 0 Here ? for a MIGRATION process - the server failed the SCALECAPACITY operation on the drive with the WRITE PROTECT error leading to warning message ANR1411W. IBM Spectrum Protect Versions Affected: Server versions 8.1.13.000 and above on all supported platforms Additional Keywords: TS009150480 SCALECAPACITY ANR1411W
Local fix
The workaround is either set CHECKTAPEPOS value to either NO or TSMONLY, or set the SCALECAPACITY value to 100 (a default value).
