  * Explanation                                                  *
  * During storage pool backup or the copying of active data,    *
  * the contents of a volume cannot be backed up or copied if    *
  * one of the following conditions exists:                      *
  * The volume is offline.                                       *
  * The volume is in use by another process.                     *
  * The volume cannot be mounted.                                *
  * The access mode of the volume does not allow the operation.  *
  *                                                              *
  * SystemAction                                                 *
  * The server continues backup processing, but skips the        *
  * indicated volume.                                            *
  *                                                              *
  * UserResponse                                                 *
  * Take one of the following actions:                           *
  * If the volume is offline, issue the VARY ONLINE command for  *
  * the indicated volume.                                        *
  * If the access mode of the volume is unavailable, issue the   *
  * UPDATE VOLUME command to change the access mode to readwrite *
  * or readonly. If the access mode of the volume is destroyed,  *
  * verify with an administrator whether the access mode should  *
  * be updated. If it should, issue the UPDATE VOLUME command to *
  * change the access mode to readwrite or readonly.             *
  * If the volume is in use by another process, wait for that    *
  * process to complete, and then retry the BACKUP STGPOOL       *
  * command or the COPY ACTIVEDATA command.                      *
