ANR8847E
No device type type drives are currently available in library library name.

Explanation

The attempted operation cannot be completed on the specified library because there are no available drives of the specified type. A drive may be unavailable because a different application has the drive opened. This message may also be issued if a CHECKIN or LABEL command is issued and no drive is available to service the operation. This can be because all the drives are mounted by other processes or sessions, or the device type was incorrectly specified. This can also be issued when incorrect barcode labels are placed on the wrong type of media (e.g. LTO2 barcode label on an LTO1 cartridge).

System action

The attempted operation is terminated.

User response

Use the QUERY DRIVE command to check the online status of the drives. Drives that are marked "Unavailable since hh:mm yy/mm/dd" are drives taken offline by the server at the time specified because of hardware failures or the inability to open the drive. If the attempted operation is a CHECKIN or LABEL command, use the QUERY MOUNT command to determine if all the drives in the library are mounted and wait until one of these is available. If there are mounted volumes with an IDLE status, use the DISMOUNT VOLUME command to free its drive, and retry the original operation. Finally, the DEVTYPE parameter is required for CHECKIN and LABEL commands specifying 3590 volumes in a 349X library that also contains 3490 drives. This is because this library also supports 3490 volumes, and the default device type on CHECKIN and LABEL commands is CART (3490).
