Problem conclusion

• This problem was fixed.
  
  Affected platforms: AIX, Linux, and Windows.
  
  ANR8354E 000: The incorrect volume ABCDEF is mounted in the
  drive DRIVE1.
  
  Explanation
  The user has inserted the volume into the indicated drive, but
  it is not the one
  requested by the server or has not inserted the target volume to
  the first entry/exit
  port in a SCSI library.
  SystemAction
  The volume is ejected or dismounted, and the server continues to
  wait for the
  requested volume to be mounted or to be inserted to the first
  entry/exit port in
  a SCSI library.
  UserResponse
  Ensure that the requested volume is inserted properly into the
  designated drive.
  If the CHECKIN LIBVOLUME command operation is issued to a SCSI
  library by
  specifying SEARCH=NO, ensure that the volume must be in the
  first slot of
  an entry/exit port in the library.
