IC54107: TSM ANR8833E DURING CHECKIN LIBVOL FOR SOME VOLUMES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• User starts a checkin libv process with search=bulk, but an
  error occurs during the process. Volumes which were scanned
  and awaiting to be moved to storage slots, but were not due
  to the error, can return ANR8833E on subsequent checkin
  attempts.
  -
  Possible errors during checkin libv from the bulk slots are
  ANR8310E, ANR8314E, and ANR8382W.
  TSM Versions affected:
  All which can use SCSI libraries.
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics:
  The diagnostic command SHOW MMSV may show volumes in the
  activeVolList when there are no checkin or checkout libvol
  processes running:

  -
  Each volume in the vol= column will return ANR8833E during all
  subsequent checkin libv processes. These volumes may actually
  be left in the bulk slot, or they may have been moved to a
  storage slot but may not be in TSM inventory according to
  QUERY LIBV.
  Initial Impact:
  Medium
  Additional Keywords:
  Checkin libv search I/O bulk door MSGANR8833E MSGANR8310E
  MSGANR8314E MSGANR8382E
  

Local fix

• Restart the TSM server to prevent further ANR8833E messages.
  -
  Ensure that the library is not already full, or will become
  full when volumes in the bulk slot are checked in.
  -
  Physically locate each volume which returned ANR8833E before
  restarting TSM, but does not exist in QUERY LIBV. Volumes
  still in the bulk slot can be checked in using checkin libv
  with search=bulk. Volumes which were moved to internal slots
  can be checked in with checkin libv with search=yes.
  -
  Apply fixing maintenance.
