Those errors sound like something I once had. The errors were inconsistant and somewhat random. I spent weeks writing error recovery routines for my program and was pretty much at my witts end. Then I switched the cable to a different card and PRESTO the errors went to the z/OS LPAR.. Maybe not your problem, but if you have a spare cable and can try switching them it may be worth the effort.

I've been trying some stuff this morning after reading your note. I disassociated the drive from the scratch pool and when I re-started the RMSMASTR machine, there were no sense errors. I was able to manually mount a tape which was volspecific. After re-associating the drive to the scratch0 pool, I once again got the errors on initialization of RMSMASTR. Which APAR(s) should I be applying to bring DFSMS/VM current?
