EDG8198I
function OF VOLUME external_volser REFUSED - RACK NUMBER ALREADY IN USE FOR VOLUME volser

Explanation

DFSMSrmm was unable to process an OAM installation exit request for the volume. DFSMS/MVS only allows volumes with standard labels and the same internal and external labels to be entered into a system-managed tape library. DFSMSrmm has found an entry in its DFSMSrmm control data set for a volume that already has a rack number the same as the value of the external_volser.

In the message text:
function
Describes the function being requested of OAM. It can be:
CHANGE USE
Volume change use processing
ENTRY
Cartridge entry processing
IMPORT
Logical volume import processing
external_volser
This is the identifier that has been taken from the label on the outside of the tape cartridge by the library vision system.
volser
This is the volume serial number that DFSMSrmm found to be already associated with the rack number of the same identifier as the external_volser.

System action

DFSMSrmm fails the request and sets a return code. If the volume is being entered into an automated tape library, the volume is ejected.

Operator response

Inform the system programmer.

System programmer response

The conflict between the volumes, the internal labels, external labels, and the DFSMSrmm control data set must be corrected before the volume can be reentered into the automated tape library. You will either need to change the external label on the ejected volume, or make changes to the DFSMSrmm control data set, so that the volume can be reentered without conflict.
