APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The Tivoli Storage Manager Server does not issue a message when
  the current Tivoli Storage Manager device driver version is
  below the current server level.
  This might mask problems with devices supported with the current
  server level, but not by the used device driver level.
  
  Symptoms could be, messages like "ANR8484E No drives are
  available to be mounted in R/W mode with format ULTRIUM4C in
  library TEST",
  though the library is equipped with LTO6 drives only or
  "ANR8302E I/O error on drive L03_D26 (/dev/rmt326) with volume
  300525L6
  (OP=SETMODE, Error Number=22, CC=207, rc = 1, KEY= FF, ASC=FF,
  ASCQ= FF, SENSE=**NONE**,  Description=Device is not in a state
  capable of performing request)"
  when forcing the server to use a specific device format (in this
  case ULTRIUM6C).
  
  A device driver trace will show the used device driver level:
  [...]
  dd_write: 0xf1000a0418896000 **DD_WRITE**  driver_id: 6.2.3.0
  Aug  2 2011 10:59:01
  [...]
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
  Tivoli Storage Manager server: All versions
  
  Initial Impact:
  Low
  
  Additional Keywords:
  TSM, mt, LTO6, dd,
  

Local fix

• Ensure that the used Tivoli Storage Manager device driver level
  matches the used Tivoli Storage Manager server level.
