The following listing shows Virtual TAPE CP messages, explanations,
and user actions.
Informational messages are generally issued without a message number.
The full message number is RVTxxxnnnt,
where:
xxx
| identifies the module that issued the message, such as CCW for
module RVTCCW.
|
nnn
| is the message "number".
(VTAPE also issues some IBM error messages. These messages
will have a 4-digit numeric message number nnnn.
Explanations of these messages can be
found in the IBM System Messages and Codes Reference.) Note, however,
that some VTAPE CP module names end in a digit, and this digit is
not part of the message number. Only the three characters of
the message number (before the I, E, or W message type)
should be used to look up an error message.
|
t
| is the message type:
- I for informational messages
- W for warnings
- E for errors
- S for severe errors
- R for messages that require a response (such as YES or NO)
|
A typical message number is RVTMNT001W. This message was issued
by VTAPE module RVTMNT, and is message number 001W (the first message
described below).
Virtual tape volume numbers consist of a letter p followed
by a five digit number nnnnn. To make the numbers easier to input,
all virtual tape commands allow you to abbreviate the numeric part of
the volser. For example, tape volume A00025 can be entered as A25.
For consistency, and to make the volume serial numbers easier to
read, they are usually abbreviated in informational and error messages.
Command responses that show information in columnar format
for several tapes (such as the response to VTQUERY ACTIVE ALL),
usually do not abbreviate the volume serial. However,
a tape listed as A25 and a tape listed as A00025 always refer to
the same tape.
This manual shows virtual tape volume serial numbers as
pnnnnn, where the p stands for the prefix letter of the library and
nnnnn stands for the volume number, possibly abbreviated.
vdev refers to a 'virtual device number' or 'virtual device',
or what used to be known as an 'address' or a 'virtual address'
in VM/370. The term 'address' is
occasionally used to refer to a virtual device number.
When address is used in italics, it refers to an 8-digit storage
address.
Library p indicates open for output on processor nnnnnLibrary p indicates open for output on processor nnnnn
The Virtual TAPE system verifies that the same CPU is opening an
output library that opened it the last time, if it was not closed.
If an output library is not closed before a SHUTDOWN (or if the
system abends), and you open the library on a different processor,
VTAPE cannot tell
if the library is still open for output on the other processor.
Therefore, VTOPEN must verify that you really want
to open the library for output on this processor.
This message is followed by message A044R requesting a YES or NO
response to force the library open for output.
p is the library prefix letter.
nnnnn is the CPUID on which the library was opened for output
and was not closed.
If the library in question is not currently open for output
on another processor, reply YES to message A044R, which is issued
following this message. Note:
If a library is opened for output by two different systems at the
same time, the library will be destroyed. Do not reply YES
unless you are SURE that the library in question is not currently
open for output on any other processor.
Your system procedures should always include a VTCLOSE command
before a system shutdown, especially if you plan to open the
library on a different processor the next time.
Userid userid is not in CP directoryUserid userid is not in CP directory
The user to which you tried to assign ownership of a tape
is not defined in the system. You cannot assign ownership of a tape
to a nonexistent userid.

An I/O error occurred while reading library
minidisk vdev for library p.
Determine why real I/O errors are occurring on the disks in
question. The virtual device address vdev refers to an MDISK
entry for the userid defined in the VTSYSTEM DEFAULTS file as the
library disk owner.

The requested tape pnnnnn has been mounted on the virtual drive
at address vdev. If one user mounts a tape on another user's drive,
the user who issued the mount command receives a
pnnnnn mounted on vdev for userid
message. The user on whose drive the tape is being mounted
receives a pnnnnn mounted on vdev by userid message.
pnnnnn was not scratched, mounted for < input | output > on vdev by user useridpnnnnn was not scratched, mounted for < input | output > on vdev by user userid
A scratch command was issued for tape volume pnnnnn

None; the tape cannot be scratched while it is mounted.
Library p is not open for outputLibrary p is not open for output
A scratch or set command was issued for a library that is open for
input.
Determine if the correct library prefix was used on the command.
Library p disk nnn minidisk vdev was not formatted with the current VTFMT commandLibrary p disk nnn minidisk vdev was not formatted with the current VTFMT command
Minidisk vdev for library p does not have the correct
label. This indicates that it was not formatted with the VTFMT
command that corresponds with this release of the Virtual TAPE
software.
Ensure that the VTFMT module that was built during installation of
the Virtual TAPE software was used to format the minidisk.
No VTAPE output library is openNo VTAPE output library is open
There is no output library open; therefore, you cannot mount any
output tapes or issue any other command that requires an output
library (such as VTQUERY SPACE).
Notify Your system programming group. An output library must be opened before you can
use the command.

pnnnnn is a scratch volumepnnnnn is a scratch volume
You issued a command specifying tape volume
pnnnnn, but it is a scratch volume.
Certain commands, such as VTSET, do not apply to scratch volumes.
If you are trying to mount a specific scratch volume by volume serial,
you may not be specifying the command correctly.
Reissue the request with a different volume number.

None; the tape cannot be scratched until the VTAPE library is closed
and reopened with library minidisk vdev available.
VTAPE library subsystem is not initializedVTAPE library subsystem is not initialized
The VTAPE library subsystem must be initialized
before any tape functions can be done. This initialization normally
takes place automatically whenever the first VTAPE command is issued
by any user. Certain errors can prevent this initialization from
completing successfully, in which case additional error messages
will be issued.
Notify Your system programming group.
If you cannot determine the cause of the error, notify Virtual Software Systems.

Formatted size of library p disk nnn minidisk vdev is larger than CP directory sizeFormatted size of library p disk nnn minidisk vdev is larger than CP directory size
The size of library minidisk vdev
has been changed since it was last
formatted. The size the disk had when it was formatted, which is
read from the disk itself, does not match the size of the disk
as shown in the CP directory.
If the disk has been changed in size in the CP directory, you must
use VTFMT to format it before it can be used in a virtual
tape library. However, formatting the disk will erase all tapes
that are contained on that disk. If you need to save the tapes that
are contained on that disk, you should change the CP directory entry
to match the old size, open the library, then back up the tape
volumes. Then, you can change the CP directory entry again, and
format the disk with VTFMT.

The minidisk may have been linked at the wrong address when it
was formatted. Disks linked at virtual device numbers that end
in zero or one are formatted to contain a volume directory; disks
linked at other addresses are not.
Ensure that the disk is linked or defined at the correct
address in the directory entry of the userid that contains the
library disk definitions. If so, link the disk at the correct
address and reformat it. You should link the disk at the same
virtual device number that it will have when it is used in
the library.

Tape volume pnnnnn is on library minidisk vdev, but that
minidisk is not linked.
Check your virtual machine configuration to ensure that all disks
of the library are linked.
Block nn for volume pnnnnn on vdev is not a < data | first > blockBlock nn for volume pnnnnn on vdev is not a < data | first > block
The record read as block nn of tape volume pnnnnn has an incorrect
record ID. It should be either a data block or a 'first' block,
depending on the message.

This message indicates a block chaining error in the VTAPE library.
The library database may have been overwritten.
If you cannot determine the cause of the error, Note the complete error message number and text and contact Virtual Software Systems.
Cycle file for tape pnnnnn was not found in volume file.Cycle file for tape pnnnnn was not found in volume file.
All backup tapes in cycle nn will be searched for requested tape.All backup tapes in cycle nn will be searched for requested tape.
This message indicates that the volume file does not contain
detailed cycle information for the requested backup cycle of the
virtual tape volume. This can occur when you are requesting a
restore of a single tape volume from a specific cycle.
If the backup for that cycle
required several real tapes, the restore program may not be able to
determine which real tape contains the backup of the requested
virtual tape volume. Therefore, the restore program will
call for each real tape in the backup cycle to find the requested
virtual tape volume.
