Issue/Introduction

DIE000 abend trying to archive files to stage.

Receiving errors:

DMSDKD1307T File system error detected by DMSRCM at address 01067162 (offset 0000273A)

DMSDKD1307T WRTK request failed with a permanent I/O error (sense included)

Environment

Release: 2.4
Component: VMA

Cause

Hardware problem affecting write operations to VMARCH 103 stage disk.

Resolution

Hardware problem affecting write operations to VMARCH 103 stage disk. 

Deciphered some of the sense information produced by the DMSDKD1307T WRTK permanent I/O error and the issue was/is a 3390 cylinder which has an incorrect format. 

This should not happen and may be the result of a channel error. 

VM:Archiver was responding to this write track error, hence the DIE000 abend.
