CBR4122I   Damaged volume volser found 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 the cartridge for volume volser cannot be loaded; the leader block is missing, or the tape medium has become detached from the leader block, or the tape medium is incompatible with the drive. Based on the error and whether the volume had been successfully mounted before, the volume might or might not be ejected from the library.

System action

The LACS request fails with a permanent error return code. Messages issued by the caller of LACS are written concurrently with this message.

Operator response

Determine whether the volume has been ejected from the library and contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

If the volume has been ejected, determine and correct the cause of the problem before reentering the volume back into the library.

If the volume was mounted on an incompatible device, check the media type of the volume in the tape configuration database to determine if it is correct. First, use IDCAMS to correct or delete the volume record in the tape configuration database, and then determine why the library manager was reporting the wrong media type to the host. When both of these items have been corrected, the volume can be entered again into the library.

If it is a leader block problem, the volume must be repaired or replaced before the volume can be used.

If the volume hasn't been ejected, depending on the cause of the problem, the volume might need to be ejected from the library to correct the problem.
