IEF117I

Explanation
DEVICES dev[,dev…]
The
listed tape devices are contained in both the specified esoteric unit
name and a system-managed tape library. The system might not be able
to consider allocating tape devices from the specified esoteric unit
name. The system might consider allocating a device from the system-managed
tape library associated with that device. 
Note: In a JES3 system,
this message can be ignored for automatic tape library esoteric devices
because JES3 requires the user to define esoterics that contain library
devices. Therefore, when the system builds the eligible devices table
(EDT), it also issues this message.
In the message text: nnn
The number of tape devices remaining in the specified esoteric
unit name.
esoteric
The esoteric name.
dev
The device number of a tape device that is defined in both a system-managed
tape library and the specified esoteric unit name.

System action
For an allocation request from the specified esoteric
unit name, one of the following occurs:If the UNIT parameter on the allocation request does not specify
SMSHONOR, the system does not consider allocating the listed tape
devices from the specified unit name. The system can only allocate
those devices by allocating from the system-managed tape library that
contains the device.
If the UNIT parameter on the allocation request does specify SMSHONOR,
the system attempts to honor the specified esoteric unit name, provided
that the devices in the esoteric are part of the list of eligible
library devices. The SMSHONOR keyword directs allocation to a subset
of the eligible system-managed tape library devices. 

Operator response
Notify the system programmer and provide the
system log containing this message.

System programmer response
Remove the listed devices from the
specified esoteric unit name to eliminate this message. Then, verify
that the number of tape devices remaining in the specified esoteric
unit name is adequate to fulfill system requirements.
