Re: VTS Tapes and S413 Abends
The last microcode upgrade was in April when we upgraded to a TS3500 with encryption drives. Since then nothing. At this time, without the log from the Specialist, it is unlikely we will determine what the initiating cause. However, should this sequence of events occur again, I will be ready.

Re: VTS Tapes and S413 Abends
If the tape had an error it should have been (automatically) placed in read only status and the data migrated to another tape then ejected. If the error was something like 'unavailable' (e.g. tape stuck or dropped) putting it in the recovery slot should clear it. If there is any question about the tapes usability you should eject it and force the data migration. The data that is/could be on the tape is probably worth more that the cost of the tape itself. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2008 9:27 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: [IBM-MAIN] VTS Tapes and S413 Abends I worked with my CE on this.

VTS Tapes and S413 Abends
I have a production job down due to an S413 abend on a VTS (virtual) tape data set. I was wondering if this is a hardware problem or if there is something I can do to fix the tape.

Re: VTS Tapes and S413 Abends
There should be an intervention on the LM. Or you could open the door and look, if it's stuck you might be able to get it out yourself. Or find the physical volume the logical volume is on and make sure it is available in the library. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2008 4:50 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: [IBM-MAIN] VTS Tapes and S413 Abends So does that mean I need to be my CE out here?

I worked with my CE on this. IBM Tucson dialed into the VTS and was able to reset the error flags and put the tape in READ status. I can now access the files on the back end (physical) tape.
