IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V6.3 Fix Pack 5 (6.3.5.000) Server Downloads

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When defining a volume for a Tivoli Storage Manager Media
  Server and the name of the volume begins with a numeric
    value the DEFINE VOLUME command will fail. This only
    occurs when the device class is CARTRIDGE, 3590 or 3592
    and is associated with library of type ZOSMEDIA.
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
    6.3
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics (If Applicable)
    The following message is seen when defining a volume that
    begins with a numeric value:
  
    define volume ztapepl 060000
    ANR2346E DEFINE VOLUME: Volume name "060000" is not valid
      for device class ZOSTAPE.
  
    Other commands that can fail are as follows:
      * QUERY CONTENT
          ANR2401E QUERY CONTENT: Volume vol_name is not
            defined in a storage pool.
      * MOVE DATA
          ANR2401E MOVE DATA: Volume vol_name is not defined
            in a storage pool.
      * UPDATE VOLUME:
          ANR2401E UPDATE VOLUME: Volume 570258 is not
            defined in a storage pool.
  
    Volumes beginning with a numeric value can be inserted into
    a Tivoli Storage Manager V6 or V7 DB as part of a
    successful cross platform DB migration from a TSM V5 z/OS
    server. Apply fixing level to resolve the issue.
