As luck would have it, I just found out about APAR OA24116 today. I ran into this problem a year ago during our z/OS 1.8 roll out. Apparently OA16372 was not sysrouted to z/OS 1.9. I know some other folks ran into this problem also, hence the post. Search the archives for OA16372 if interested in more details.
We are just getting ready to roll out z/OS 1.9 to the same environment I ran into this problem on last year at this same time. Talk about timing... APAR Identifier ......

Status Detail: TESTPACKAGING - Packaged solution is being tested. PE PTF List: PTF List: Release 190 : PTF not available yet Parent APAR: OA16372 Child APAR list: ERROR DESCRIPTION: Volume serials out of order. This results in I/O errors on read. MM ERROR CODES=X'00140408' DB2 REASON CODE=X'00C200A4'. REPRO returns IDC3351I ** VSAM I/O RETURN CODE IS 24 - RPLFDBWD = X'21080018' LOCAL FIX: DELETE NOSCRATCH and DEFINE RECATALOG with the volumes specified in the correct order. The LISTCAT for the data set is needed before doing the DELETE so the correct order for the volumes can be determined. Please see informational APAR II14289 which documents an available as is tool that will help identify data sets with volumes out of order. The tool scans specified catalogs. It will provide the correct volume sequence for data sets. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Out of sequence volumes could have existed prior to R1K0, but the code at prior levels to R1K0 did not expose this error. PROBLEM SUMMARY: **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All HDZ11K0 users and above of VSAM reading * * or writing to a multi-volume VSAM data * * set where the volumes have been recataloged * * in adifferent order than originally extended * * to. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: VSAM GET/PUT requests fail with * * RC=8RPLFDBK X'21080018' (media manager * * error x'00140408') when accessing a * * VASM data set and the data set has * * more than 3 volumes which have been * * recataloged out of the original * * extent order. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** VSAM Open is modified to detect Volumes out of order condition. IEC161I 071(SFI)-026 informational msesage will be issued. User should put volumes back in the original order before proceeding. PROBLEM CONCLUSION: For out of sequence volumes, the following 2 errors will no longer be given: Media Manager ERROR CODES=X'00140408' Management RPLFDBWD = X'21080018' However, the user should take measures to correct the out of sequence volumes as indicated by message IEC161I 'action required'. DELETE NOSCRATCH and DEFINE RECATALOG with the volumes specified in the correct order. The LISTCAT for the data set is needed before doing the DELETE so the correct order for the volumes can be determined. Please see informational APAR II14289 which documents an available as is tool that will help identify data sets with volumes out of order. The tool scans specified catalogs. It will provide the correct volume sequence for data sets. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Out of sequence volumes could have existed prior to R1K0, but the code at prior levels to R1K0 did not expose this error.
