Error description

  • These conditions must exist for this problem to occur:
    -
    1. HP LTO4 drives are being used
    2. The LTO devclass was used with driveencryption=on for a
    period of time long enough for volumes to be written
    3. The LTO devclass is changed to driveencryption=off or
    allow.
    -
    Tapes which were encrypted may return ANR8507W and ANR8302E:
    -
    ANR8507W Volume A00019L4 is using an encryption key that
    is not unique and therefore is not secure. (SESSION: xxx,
    PROCESS: XXX)
    ANR8302E I/O error on drive DRIVE03 (/dev/mt2) with volume
    XXXXXXL4 (OP=READ, Error Number=5, CC=424, KEY=07, ASC=74,
    ASCQ=03,~SENSE=F0.00.07.00.04.00.00.10.00.00.00.00.74.03.
    00.00.33.61.00.00.00.00. Description=An undetermined error
    has occurred).  Refer to Appendix C in the 'Messages' manual
    for recommended action.
    -
    The ASC must be 74, and ANR8507W must occur to match this
    problem.
    -
    This problem occurrs because encryption keys necessary
    to retrieve data from the volumes were incorrectly
    deleted from the TSM database. The fix to this problem
    will prevent this situation from occurring.
    -
    This problem does not affect IBM LTO4 drives, or any drive
    which requires the IBM device driver. This problem only
    affects HP LTO4 drives.
    -
    If this problem occurs, contact IBM support immediately.
    
    TSM Versions Affected:
    TSM 5.5.x, 5.4.x
    
    Initial Impact: High
    
    Additional Keywords:
    MSGANR8507W MSGANR8302E driveencryption drivee AME
    

Local fix

  • Remove all encrypted tapes from the tape library, or mark them
    unavailable until a fix is available.
