Most interventions I have seen on a virtual device (I'm assuming this is a VTS tape drive) were because of a problem with the staging of the volume from the back end back to the TVC (usually tape stuck in drive or not in library). Usually ended up trashing the job before fixing the 'real' issue.

How does one clear an Intervention Required on a Virtual Device? We have a batch job that is running and wants to end but the device is Allocated Not Ready. -D U,,,310 IEE457I 07.19.27 UNIT STATUS 657 UNIT TYPE STATUS VOLSER VOLSTATE 0310 349L A-NRD-M W17104 PRIV/REMOV The D R,L command results are: PENDING UNITS: READY UNITS: 0264 031E 0327 032B 032C 0340 0349 0356 035E 0369 0371 READY UNITS: 037A 062B INTRV REQ'D: 0310 These devices are shared across 10 LPARs on two CPCs so were using MIM/MIA to manage the allocations.
