Replying to LABEL procedure messages

DFSMSrmm issues these messages requiring your reply or action. See Figure 1 for the command syntax for the INIT, SCAN, and ERASE commands used to reply to LABEL procedure messages.

EDG6626A SPECIFY VOLUME "INIT" "SCAN" OR "ERASE" COMMAND OR "END"
- Respond with either a volume INIT, SCAN, or ERASE command.
- You might want to modify DFSMSrmm to handle this automatically.
EDG6627A Mdrive_numberV(volser) R(rack_number) TO BEaction vol1_volser, label_type
- action can be one of ERASED, LABELLED, SCANNED, or VERIFIED.
- Mount the volume, write-enabled. You do not need to reply to this message. DFSMSrmm returns a nullrack_numberwhen the volume is not defined to DFSMSrmm.
- If the volume cannot be mounted, reply 'S' to skip the volume.
EDG6628Adrive_numberREPLY WITH RACK NUMBER OR VOLUME SERIAL NUMBER FOR NL VOLUME
- The volume does not have a volume label, so DFSMSrmm cannot verify that the correct volume is mounted. Check that the correct volume is mounted.
- Reply with the volume serial number or rack number.
EDG6642I VOLUMEvolserLABELLED SUCCESSFULLY WITH VOL1vol1_volser
- The duplicate volume was successfully labeled. Return it to its shelf location.
EDG6621E VOLUMEvolserINITIALIZATION FAILED.
- The volume was not labeled. Give it to the tape librarian for action.
EDG6620I VOLUMEvolserINITIALIZATION AND VERIFICATION SUCCESSFUL - RETURN TO RACK NUMBERrack_number
- The volume was internally labeled. Return it to the shelf location identified in the message by rack number.
EDG6622I VOLUMEvolser(oldvolser)INITIALIZATION SUCCESSFUL - RETURN TO RACK NUMBERrack_number
- The volume was internally labeled. Return it to the shelf location identified in the message by rack number.
EDG6623I VOLUMEvolser(oldvolser)ERASE, INITIALIZATION AND VERIFICATION SUCCESSFUL - RETURN TO RACK NUMBERrack_number
- The volume was internally labeled. Return it to the shelf location identified in the message by rack number.
EDG6625I VOLUMEvolser(oldvolser)ERASE, INITIALIZATION SUCCESSFUL - RETURN TO RACK NUMBERrack_number
- The volume was internally labeled. Return it to the shelf location identified in the message by rack number.
EDG6619I NOunit_typeVOLUMES WERE FOUND WITH THEinitialize_or_eraseACTION PENDING
- No volumes of the specified unit or type of media were found that needed to be initialized or erased.
- You do not need to respond to this message.
EDG6631I UTILITYutilityCOMPLETED WITH RETURN CODEreturn_code
- A tape label, erase, or verification job completed with a return code.
- You do not need to reply to this message.
EDG6658I VOLUMEvolser(oldvolser)IS MISSING SERVO TRACKS. PLEASE RETURN CARTRIDGE TO YOUR SUPPLIER TO BE REFORMATTED
- DFSMSrmm was unable to read the existing volume label from the volume because the volume servo information is not formatted.
- You do not need to respond to this message.
EDG6661E INCORRECT VOLUME MOUNTED ON DEVICEdrive_number- REQUESTED VOLUMEvolserEXPECTED VOL1expected_vol1MOUNTED VOL1mounted_vol1
- An attempt to relabel a volume was made but the wrong volume, mounted_vol1, was mounted instead. EDGINERS continues processing as required by the EXEC statement PARM WRONGLABEL specification.
  When WRONGLABEL is
  
  DFSMSrmm
  
  FAIL
  
  Does not prompt the operator for a reply and rejects the volume mount request.
  
  IGNORE
  
  Does not prompt the operator for a reply and relabels the volume if DFSMSrmm is requested to initialize the volume or if the volume is not managed by DFSMSrmm. Using IGNORE requires CONTROL access to the RACF® FACILITY class resource STGADMIN.EDG.INERS.WRONGLABEL.
  
  PROMPT
  
  Issues message EDG6663D to prompt the operator to identify the processing that should be performed. No additional authorization is needed to use PROMPT.
- You do not need to respond to this message.
EDG6662E INCORRECT VOLUME MOUNTED ON DEVICEdrive_number- REQUESTED VOLUMEvolserEXPECTED VOL1expected_vol1MOUNTED VOL1mounted_vol1IS DFSMSrmm MANAGED
- An attempt was made to relabel a volume but the wrong volume,mounted_vol1, was mounted instead. EDGINERS continues processing as required by the EXEC statement PARM WRONGLABEL specification.
- You do not need to respond to this message.

EDG6663D REPLY "R" TO RETRY OR "F" TO FAIL THE REQUEST, OR "A" TO ACCEPT THE MOUNTED VOLUME

During EDGINERS processing, DFSMSrmm detected an incorrect volume serial number on a mounted volume. The EXEC statement PARM WRONGLABEL parameter has been specified and DFSMSrmm prompts the operator to reply. DFSMSrmm issues this message after issuing either message EDG6661E or EDG6662E.

Reply as described in Table 1.

Table 1. Operator responses to message EDG6663D
To	Reply	And the result is
Accept the mounted volume	A	DFSMSrmm relabels the volume to the new volume serial number.
Fail the request	F	DFSMSrmm unloads the mounted volume and the request fails.
Retry to request	R	DFSMSrmm unloads the mounted volume and reissues the mount request message EDG6627A.

EDG6670E UNEXPECTED RETURN CODE RC=04 FROM SUBSYSTEM REQUEST
- There may be a mismatch between the levels of the DFSMSrmm EDGINERS utility and the DFSMSrmm subsystem.
- Make sure that the EDGINERS utility and the DFSMSrmm subsystem are on the same level. Refer to z/OS MVS Using the Subsystem Interface for the error code explanations provided for the IEFSSREQ macro and take the appropriate action. Restart DFSMSrmm and resubmit the job.
EDG6672I A LABELVERSION VALUE HAS BEEN SPECIFIED FOR A LABEL TYPE OTHER THAN AL
- You specified the LABELVERSION operand for standard label or no label tape. You should only specify a value for ISO/ANSI label tapes.
- Reply to message EDG6626A with the INIT or ERASE command, or END to end the EDGINERS utility.
EDG6673I VALIDITY CHECK FAILED FOR fieldVALUE SPECIFIED WITH LABEL type AND VERSIONnumberFOR VOLUMEvolser
- Invalid characters were entered in either the ACCESS(code) or OWNERTEXT(text) parameters in the INIT/ERASE statement.
- Reply with valid values.
EDG6677E VOLUME volser SCAN FAILED
- The scan of the specified volume volser failed.
- If the request was operator initiated, correct the error and retry the request. If the error persists, report it to the system programmer.
EDG6678I VOLUME volser SCAN SUCCESSFUL
- DFSMSrmm successfully scanned the volume.
EDG6679I SCAN RESULTS:
- DFSMSrmm issues this message containing the results of the scan request.
EDG6680E MISMATCH OF VOLUME STATUS - VOLUME volser IS ALREADY PRIVATE IN THE TCDB
- You are scanning the labels of volume that is either scratch status in DFSMSrmm or is not defined to DFSMSrmm but is SCRATCH status in the TCDB. EDGINERS attempts to change the volume status in the TCDB to PRIVATE so that it can be mounted for processing. The change use attribute request failed because the volume is already PRIVATE in the TCDB.
  - The TCDB volume status and DFSMSrmm status were already not in synch.
  - The volume changed status from SCRATCH to PRIVATE since EDGINERS checked the volume status - perhaps the volume was mounted by the library for a non-specific request and has been used successfully.
  Depending on the cause of the problem, you may want to synchronize the volume status in the TCDB from the status in DFSMSrmm, or skip the scan of the volume because DFSMSrmm and the volume labels should now be in synch because the volume was used for output.
EDG6681I SCAN FOR VOLUME volser CONTINUES - VOLUME NOT DEFINED TO DFSMSrmm
- You are scanning the labels of a volume that is not defined to DFSMSrmm.
EDG6682I SCAN RESULTS (TRUNCATED): FOR FULL DETAILS - REFER TO SYSPRINT FILE
- DFSMSrmm issues this multi-line message to the operator console containing the results of the scan request.
- Review the message contents for mismatches between the volume and DFSMSrmm information. In order to see the complete output refer to and review the contents of the SYSPRINT file.
EDG6683I MISMATCH ON values
- DFSMSrmm issues this message to the operator console and SYSPRINT file containing the results of the comparison between tape label contents and the information defined to DFSMSrmm during a scan request.
- values Is a list of the values that are different between the tape labels and the information defined to DFSMSrmm. The values listed are the column headings in the EDG6679I SCAN RESULTS message.
