ARC1164I
VOLUME ALLOCATION ERROR DURING RECOVERY

Explanation

An error occurred in allocating a tape under DFSMShsm control during recovery processing.
  • The tape required for recovery cannot be mounted for one of the following reasons:
    • The tape is in use by another DFSMShsm function.
    • The operator cancelled the request, possibly because there are no available units, or there are physical tape problems.

System action

Any processing requiring the volume in error does not occur. DFSMShsm processing continues.

Programmer response

  • For tape: retry the recovery later when resources may be available to allow allocation to succeed, or contact the operator to determine the exact cause of the problem so that the correct course of action may be taken.
  • For MSS: retry later when the MSS is not so busy.
