Error description
Some tape drive models may not respect the O_NDELAY flag, as a result the attempt to open the drive fails with the errno value EIO when the drive is empty, and the O_NDELAY flag is off. This EIO error code causes the failure of the server to verify the emptiness of a tape drive for availability. When the server fails to open a tape drive for the LABEL LIBVOLUME command, the following messages appear in the activity log: 10:21:20.754 ANR8848W Drive E06_06_E06 of library TEST-TS3500-06-3592JB3 is inaccessible; server has begun polling drive. 10:21:20.759 ANR8447E No drives are currently available in library TEST-TS3500-06-3592JB3. 10:21:20.819 ANR8802E LABEL LIBVOLUME process 1506 for library TEST-TS3500-06-3592JB3 failed. 10:21:20.822 ANR0985I Process 1506 for LABEL LIBVOLUME running in the BACKGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE at 10:21:20. 10:21:20.824 ANR1893E Process 1506 for LABEL LIBVOLUME completed with a completion state of FAILURE.~ The trace shows the EIO error for the open: [PvrOpenTapeDrive]:going to open the drive DRIVE1 checkId = 1 [PvrPsOpenDevice]:Opening device /dev/rmt/drive1 with nonDelay = 0, accessMode = 0 [psQValidFileSystem]:Reading information on volume in drive /dev/rmt/drive1 [psQValidFileSystem]:statvfs for /dev/rmt/drive1 returned successfully [psQValidFileSystem]:Drive /dev/rmt/drive1 is character special, not valid file system [PvrOpenDevice]:Attempted to open device /dev/rmt/drive1, 1 time(s), rc = 2813.
