A customer site has been using HSM and CA-1 for almost 10 years without serious problems. For some reason, recent attempts to recycle some backup tapes are running into some strange and probably related problems:
HSM recycle task is abending with a S0C4 in an unknown module. Entry in the CA-1 TMC for the tape to be recycled starts out as a normal EDM tape and suddenly changes to WORM (FLAG5 = X'18') and loses both the EDMID and the EDM bit in FLAG2. CA-1 generates an IECTMS14 message regarding the tape being ineligible for EDM. I recycled almost 30 tapes without incident on 28 Feb. Problems started on 1 Mar (yesterday as site is in Japan). Only tapes used at the site are 3490 cartridges, no WORMs. Suggestions welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
