Problem conclusion

• This problem was fixed.
  Affected platforms for reported release:  AIX, HP, Linux,
  Solaris, and Windows.
  Fixed platforms: AIX, Linux, and Windows.
  
  ANR9013W The RESETDRIVES parameter was not specified for library
  XYZ. For this reason,
  the server cannot access tape drives that are reserved by
  another server in the specified
  library.
  
  Explanation
  If a reservation conflict occurs in a failover cluster or a
  shared library environment,
  the server cannot access tape drives that are already reserved
  by another server.
  To ensure that the server can clear a tape drive reservation,
  the RESETDRIVES=YES
  parameter must be specified.
  
  System Action
  System operation continues, but the server cannot access the
  tape drives that are
  reserved by another server in the failover cluster or shared
  library environment.
  
  User Response
  Issue the UPDATE LIBRARY command and set the RESETDRIVES
  parameter to YES.
  If you are in a failover cluster environment, set the
  RESETDRIVES parameter
  to YES when the SHARED parameter for the library is set to NO
  (default value).
  If you are in a shared library environment, set the RESETDRIVES
  parameter to
  YES when the SHARED parameter is set to YES.
  Tip: To determine the value of the SHARED parameter, issue the
  following command:
  query library library_name f=d where library_name specifies the
  name of the library.
  For tape drives reserved by a SCSI-2 reserve, the
  RESETDRIVES=YES parameter must
  be specified to enable a LUN reset to clear the reservation. A
  LUN reset is required
  only in an IBM AIX or Microsoft Windows environment. For tape
  drives reserved by a
  SCSI-3 persistent reserve, the RESETDRIVES=YES parameter must be
  specified to
  preempt or clear the reservation.
