APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
During tape dismount operations, the server will attempt to disable the data-safe (append only) mode for the tape drives. This can result in I/O errors if the tape drives do not support the data-safe mode. The activity log will show one or more of the following errors/warnings generated during tape dismounts: ANR8302E I/O error on drive VTL_DRIVE00 (mt1.0.0.1) with volume V00001L5 (OP=SETAPPENDONLY, Error Number=0, CC=0, rc = 2863, KEY=05, ASC=24, ASCQ=00, SENSE=70.00.05.00.00.00.00.0A.00.00.00.00.24.00.00.C0.00, Description=An undetermined error has occurred). ANR8311E An I/O error occurred while accessing drive VTL_DRIVE01 (mt1.0.0.2) for SETAPPENDONLY operation, errno = 1, rc = 2863. ANR8311E An I/O error occurred while accessing drive VTL_DRIVE02 (mt1.0.0.3) for QUERYAPPENDONLY operation, errno = 1, rc = 2863. ANR8994W Append-only mode is not supported on tape drive VTL_DRIVE00. These errors are benign and should not prevent the tape dismounts from completing successfully. The server code will be enhanced to confirm whether the drives in VTL libraries support the data-safe mode before attempting to disable this mode. | MDVREGR 8.1.6.0-5698MSV | Spectrum Protect Versions Affected: Server versions 8.1.6.0 and higher on all platforms Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: TS002625232 IT28490 IT28491 append-only appendonly datasafe
