DSKIBMVH generating CBR4196D messages and CBR4171I messages with RSN=45

Products

• Vantage Storage Resource Manager

Issue/Introduction

We received a bunch of error messages concerning tape volumes when DSKIBMVH ran on our production and test systems.

For example:

STC31965  CBR4171I Mount failed. LVOL=N60834, LIB=LIBVTSP1, PVOL=??????, RSN=45. 

STC31965 *069 CBR4196D Job CAVANT, drive 50D4, volser N60834, error code 140394. Reply 'R' to retry or 'C'

STC31965  CBR4171I Mount failed. LVOL=A24855, LIB=LIBVTSP1, PVOL=??????, RSN=45. 

STC31965 *068 CBR4196D Job CAVANT, drive 50DE, volser A24855, error code 140394. Reply 'R' to retry or 'C'

STC31965  CBR4171I Mount failed. LVOL=A26781, LIB=LIBVTSP1, PVOL=??????, RSN=45. 

STC31965 *067 CBR4196D Job CAVANT, drive 50DD, volser A26781, error code 140394. Reply 'R' to retry or 'C'

When looking at the TMC volume records, the volumes and the associated data sets are seen (i.e., everything looks okay in the TMC). 

Environment

Release : 14.0

Component : CA Vantage Storage Resource Manager

Cause

The wrong, or incorrectly defined DFSMS MC (Management Class) is being used by Vantage for the VTSMCNAM parameter. 

Resolution

The CBR4171I message gives RSN=45 (X'45' Failed - Category Empty) which is caused by:

1) A management class that suppresses the copy function to another cluster must be assigned.

2) The wrong DFSMS MGMTCLAS is specified for the VKGPARM parameter 'VTSMCNAM'. 

To resolve this problem specify the correct (or correctly defined) DFSMS MC (Management Class) for the Vantage VKGPARM parameter 'VTSMCNAM='.
