We are seeing the following pair of messages occasionally: ANR9999D icvolhst.c(5267): ThreadId <47> Error Writing to output File. ANR4510E Server could not write sequential volume history information to /var/tsm_automation/volumehistory.
Successive occurances of this pair of messages are typically a week to two weeks apart. We have a 5.3.4.0 server running under mainframe Linux. There is plenty of disk space available in the /var file system. The Linux error logs do not report any I/O errors when these TSM messages occur. The path at the end of the second message is the one specified for the sequential volume history file in our server options file. I have already contacted IBM, but I am not optimistic about getting a resolution; the last e-mail I got from IBM requested 'ls' command output needed to check the possibility of root not having write access to the volume history file. Has anyone else seen this and found a way to stop it?
