Error description
Tape write filemark operation may not handle the following error correctly. ANR8944E Hardware or media error on drive drive_name (/dev/***) with volume volume_name (OP=WEOF, Error Number= 5, CC=0, KEY=03, ASC=0C, ASCQ=00, SENSE=F0.00.03.00.00.00.00.58.00.00.00.00.0C.00.86.0A.50.12.01.0 0.00.03.01.31.08.01.80.01.A0.A0.10.1F.AB.53.78.1F.DD.53.78.1F.DD .53.78.00.03.00.00.00.00.07.00.00.02.00.00.00.00.00.00.51.00.0C. 27.27.00.50.6E.80.18.20.20.00.37.41.39.20.20.20.20.00.A0.44.4A.F 1.F0.F0.F2.F6.F9.81.00.00.3F.04.C1.0C, Description=undetermined error has occurred). Refer to the IBM Spectrum Protect documentation on I/O error code descriptions. When a tape drive returns this sense data, it means application is unable to write any data to this volume. However, the server does not mark the volume unavailable and still tries to use this volume later on. It is expected that the server marks this volume unavailable immediately. Tivoli Storage Manager Versions affected: IBM Spectrum Protect Server all supported version for all supported platforms with 3592 tape drive Initial Impact: Low Additional Keywords: TS001381198, TSM
