Error description
NDMP backup may fail with ANR8806E after "label libvolume" because IBM Spectrum Protect Server does not turn off append-only mode of the drive when dismounting a tape cartridge. This issue may occur only when the library supports auto-eject. ANR8806E Could not write volume label volume name on the tape in library library name. It is expected that the server should disable append-only mode before dismounting a tape cartridge when "label libvolume" command finished. For example, the server works like below. 1. label libvolume is issued 2. check append-only mode 3. turn on to append-only mode 4. label libvolume is completed 5. turn off append-only mode 6. dismount the tape It works as expected when the library does not support auto-eject, but if the library supports auto-eject, the server does not turn off append-only mode when dismounting a tape. The next NDMP backup may fail with ANR8806E as a consequence of this defect. IBM Spectrum Protect Versions affected: IBM Spectrum Protect Server 7.1, 8.1, or higher level on all supported platforms Initial Impact: Middle Additional Keywords: drive append mode dismount
