Subject: EDGINERS erase problem
I have a problem with EDGINERS ERASE job and 3490E-C22 standalone drives.
The following job:
//K10 EXEC PGM=EDGINERS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//TAPE DD UNIT=(3490,,DEFER)
//SYSIN DD *
ERASE VOLUME(E12345) RACK(E12345)
Ends with
IOS000I 0572,**,SIM,**,**06,,**,,SRSKEDG
EDG6601E I/O ERROR ERASING VOLUME E12345,SRSKEDG ,K10 ,0572,T,********,**-
OP,UNKNOWN COND. ,**************,
EXCP
EDG6601E CONT:-
IOS000I 0572,**,SIM,**,**06,,**,,SRSKEDG
EDG6624E VOLUME E12345 ERASE FAILED
EDG6631I UTILITY EDGINERS COMPLETED WITH RETURN CODE 12
I tried the same job on other drives. It fails on any 3490E-C22. It works
on 3590-H and 3592 (with other media of course).
The 3490E drives can be used for read or write without problems. The
problem occurs with EDGINERS only.
Any clue?
Open a PMR on the software side and a hardware ticket to look at the control
unit. SIM is usually a hardware failure, but can be caused by an incorrect
channel program. You can also try to POR the tape controller.
