My MVS counterpart, 20+ years ago, would ask me to run with a piece of equipment on VM if it was suspect on MVS because, at that time MVS error recovery was so much better than VM's that it was harder to tell if there was a hardware error on something connected to MVS. It would just recover,

The APARs which allow RMS to issue a query device without attaching the device are VM64062 and VM64206 for RMS, and VM64157 for CP. However, none of this service in my belief will help solve the I/O errors you are receiving. If you associate a device with a particular scratch pool, and there are

Yesterday I was getting pretty excited because I actually got VM talking to our tape library. I was able to see the volumes that were assigned to me and assign them to a scratch category. I even mounted a tape, invoked DDR and dumped a MOD3 and a MOD9 to the tape. Then, later that day, I started

Dave, What level of z/VM are you running ... your DFSMS/VM software appears to be back level. With the current SDO for DFSMS/VM installed, a DFSMSRM QUERY LIBRARY DEVICE command will not generate a CP ATTACH/DETACH sequence for the device on the RMSMASTR virtual machine. I also see the device

Well, you queried the drive, and the response was no tape mounted. Next you issued a demount to the drive which received the I/O error, probably because there was nothing to demount. Try mounting a tape then see if the demount is successful. BTW, if you order latest DFSMS service, which removes

During initialization, RMS does a demount to each drive it can access. However now that I think about this, there is a different error that comes back which RMS intercepts indicating there is no volume mounted. An error that is not reflected like this sense is. I recently worked on a similar
