The output from DMS shows:
ADSST202 4016 VOLUME=SPAR43 BYPASSED, VTOC OPEN FAILED
Reason:
The VTOC Open for volume (vvvvvv) or offline unit (uuuu) failed with RC=08 and the volume was bypassed.
Action:
Check the VTOC for volume (vvvvvv) or unit(uuuu). One possibility for an online volume is that the device might have to be varied off-line and back online.
the following link shows the possible reasons for the return code being returned
