Error description
Currently IBM Spectrum Protect Server does not work correctly when different CHECKTAPEPOS server options values to use in a shared library environment. If different option values are used, then the backup may fail at the one with option value as NO. The reason is that the server does not check the drive real setting when the option is NO. Therefore the server setting and the drive setting may be mismatch. This mismatch can cause the drive rejects the write operation. IBM Spectrum Protect Server checks the drive setting when the CHECKTAPEPOS server option values as YES, DRIVEONLY, and TSMONLY. Customer/L2 Diagnostics: In the QUERY ACTLOG you could observed: ANR8337I LTO volume ABCDEF mounted in drive DRIVE01 ( /dev/xyz ). (SESSION: 172, PROCESS: 5) ANR1340I Scratch volume ABCDEF is now defined in storage pool TAPE01.

Initial Impact: Medium. Additional Keywords: TSM "Spectrum Protect" CHECKTAPEPOS TS002921391
Local fix
Issue the QUERY OPTION to check the value defined for the CHECKTAPEPOS option. Ensure that value is the same for each LIBRARY MANAGER, LIBRARY CLIENT and STORAGE AGENT.
