APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The following message can be displayed when the TSM command
    PREPARE (to create a Recovery Plan File) is run:
    .
    ANR9581W PREPARE: Volume xxxxxxx.BFS not found while building
    stanza PRIMARY.VOLUMES.REPLACEMENT.CREATE script
    .
    The problem is due to case sensitivity and can occur when a
    volume that physically resides on disk contains one or more
    letters. Though file volumes are created on the operating system
    in lower case, by default, the prepare script looks for the
    volume names in upper case. A match cannot be made and the error
    occurs
    

Local fix

  • Ensure the specified volume exists at the operating system
    level.  Copy the volume name to a name with upper case
    characters (Example: cp 0000006a.bfs 0000006A.BFS).  Run PREPARE
    again.  If the error message is no longer displayed, the defect
    described was most likely the cause.,
