Error description
The LABEL LIBVOLUME process may fail getting an exception when writing the label to a Tape storage pool volume, reporting the following error in actlog: ie. ANR8779E Unable to open drive /dev/tsmtape/mt44, error number= 125. Despite this, the process will end successfully, as seen in the following message: ANR8800I LABEL LIBVOLUME for volume A12345 in library SL8500 completed successfully. Customer/L2 Diagnostics: A PVR MMS ADDMSG Server trace will show the following errors: 14:10:00.021 [9633952][output.c][7647][PutConsoleMsg]:ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: LABEL LIBVOLUME SL8500 A12345 overwrite=y ~ ...... 14:12:43.779 [9633953][mmsacsls.c][6895][OpenDriveWithWait]:PvrOpenTapeDrive returned, tempRc=2853 14:12:43.779 [9633953][output.c][7647][PutConsoleMsg]:ANR8779E Unable to open drive /dev/tsmtape/mt44, error number= 125.~ 14:12:43.779 [9633953][mmsacsls.c][6931][OpenDriveWithWait]:End with rc = 4008 14:12:43.779 [9633953][mmsacsls.c][8099][ReadWriteLabel]:rc = 4008 from OpenDriveWithWait 14:12:43.779 [9633953][mmsacsls.c][5976][ManualLabelVolume]:ReadWriteLabel returned with rc = 4008 14:12:43.780 [9633953][mmsacsls.c][7491][LibDismount]:Begin LibDismount for library SL8500, drive LTO4_DRIVE44, volume A12345 ..... 14:12:51.936 [9633953][output.c][7647][PutConsoleMsg]:ANR8800I LABEL LIBVOLUME for volume A12345 in library SL8500 completed successfully.~ The problem is that the Server resets the return code value to 0 after it failed to write the label. This return code 0 means the Server has written the label to the volume without problems. Therefore, the LABEL LIBVOLUME command was reported (falsely) as successful. Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: All supported versions of V6 and V7 on all supported platforms Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: TSM "Spectrum Protect" SP "LABEL LIBVOLUME" success fail "rc = 4008" ANR8779E
