Yep,,, you will probably want to do just that; you would normally hope the process would end after the first error, but (alas) it's an imperfect world --- I'd advise you open a PMR, this smells like a problem that could/should be fixed via process-end.
The caveat is that some processes will restart (repeatedly) due to your other settings (like reclamation thresholds, etc.) , which could cause this to recur -- though drive-cleaning should have resolved. -Don --- Don France Technical Architect - Tivoli Certified Consultant Tivoli Storage Manager - Win2K/2003, AIX/Unix, OS/390 Professional Association of Contract Employees (P.A.C.E.) - www.pacepros.com San Jose, CA Phone - Voice/Mobile: (408) 348-8926 email: [email protected] -------------- Original message from "Kauffman, Tom" <[email protected]>: -------------- > I get frustrated when I see something like this: > > ANR8944E Hardware or media error on drive DRIVE_02 (/dev/rmt0) with volume > 444035L4(OP=LOCATE, Error Number= 110, CC=0, KEY=03, ASC=09, ASCQ=00, > SENSE=70- > .00.03.00.00.00.00.58.00.00.00.00.09.00.36.00.78.B5.78.B5.00.01.34.34.34.30.33- > > .35.4C.19.00.00.15.04.CB.00.00.00.00.00.80.2B.60.00.00.00.20.DD.20.00.00.00.00- > > .00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00- > > .00.00.00.00.00.00.00.37.41.33.31.00.00.00.00.00.00, > Description=An undetermin- > ed error has occurred).
