Elardus,
The remote operator is a human.
Tape management system is CA1
Still researching logs.

Once a week, HSM performs an AUTOBACKUP. Until about 3 months ago, if nobody was at the
shop, HSM would ask for an exiting tape, wait 10 minutes, and if no tape was mounted, it
would ask "Can tape be mounted?". If our remote operator replied 'N', then HSM
would us a scratch tape. About once ever month or so, we would run a recycle job to
combine all the tapes.
What remote operator? A person or automated task?
Discussions with all the 3 others involved in the discussion 3 months ago came back with
"I did not change anything 3 months ago."
Really? Do you have any tape management system?
So, I have come to the conclusion that somebody issued a command to HSM but did
not update the config file so it would be handled at the next IPL.
Hmmm, yes something *has* changed!
What command(s) was issued? What are the results of that change(s)? Can you get
RACF / SMF / SYSLOG records of that ?
Lizette gave you good questions. I will certainly listen to her! ;-)
Groete / Greetings
