Error description

• The QUERY DRMEDIA shows the MOUNTABLE state to a tape volume
  which is not involved in any DRM operations. The following
  scenario can create this issue.
  
  Step 1: Prepare a private volume. For example, volume_A with
  devCLASS as devClass_A. This volume is not in a storage pool
  
  Step 2: Run QUERY DRMEDIA volume_A wherestate=all
  source=dbsnapshot and get ANR2034E message as
  ANR2034E QUERY DRMEDIA: No match found using this criteria.
  
  Step 3: Run BAckup DB DEVclass=devClass_A Type=DBSnapshot
  VOLunames=volume_A
  
  Step 4: After Backup DB is done, the MOUNTABLE state is for the
  volume_A from running QUERY DRMEDIA volume_A wherestate=all
  source=dbsnapshot command.
  
  Volume Name  State      Last Update Date/Time  Automated LibName
  
  -----------  ---------  ---------------------  -----------------
  
  volume_A     Mountable   mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss    library_name
  
  If a volume is never involved in any DRM operation, this volume
  should not have a DRM state.
  
  IBM Storage Protect Versions Affected:
  IBM Storage Protect Servers 8.1.10 and later on all supported
  platforms.
