From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager on behalf of Kerry Campbell I received an unusual message in my TSM report today, that told me there is one volume unavailable.
How could this condition occur, how can I locate the unavailable volume, and in general what is the remedy. There could be many causes for an unavailable volume, each of which would require a different approach to fix and prevent. The first thing to do is discovery which volume is unavailable; this is easy: Q VOLUME ACCESS=UNAVAILABLE. The next thing you need to do is to discovery why it happened. Check your TSM server's activity log; do a search for the name of the volume (search='A00001', for example). Do a similar search for the string UNAVAILABLE. Examine the volume itself. Run Q VOLUME A00001 F=D. Are there any read_errors? write_errors? -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Senior consultant
