CBR4105I   No {eligible | MEDIAn} scratch volumes available in library library-name.

Explanation

An error has been detected during Library Automation Communication Services (LACS) processing for the MOUNT or WAIT function. Library library-name has indicated that there are no more eligible scratch volumes in the library, so the mount scratch request cannot be executed. Start of changeEven though the host may show that there are scratch volumes available, keep in mind that the library may have reasons for which it does not consider scratch volumes to be eligible for the mount. Virtual tape volumes that have been returned to scratch and have a delete expire hold time associated with them are not eligible to be mounted as scratch until their hold time has expired. In addition to this, inEnd of change a TS7700 grid configuration, this error can also be returned if no eligible volumes are owned by the cluster performing the mount, or if the eligible volumes are owned by another cluster and ownership cannot be obtained. This error can also be returned in a TS7700 grid configuration if one of the clusters has read-only ownership takeover enabled against it and all remaining scratch volumes are owned by that cluster. If the job requested a specific media type, the type is included in the message. If the job did not request a specific media type and the device is capable of mounting multiple media types, then there are no scratch volumes of any eligible type and the message text specifies eligible. The error may be reported by a unit check when the mount order is first sent to the library, or by a failure completion code in the attention message which signals mount completion.
