Are you sure it is not something like a restore is running and a
     migration kicks off and waits for the restore to finish but it is a
     lengthy restore thus the migration times out and cancels the
     request... ? If you can view a history of mounts in the library I
     would do so to really see if the drives are all full and what might be
     using them...
     Also if you have migrations running and all the tape drives full AND
     someone needs a restore from tape it will kill the migration for a
     higher priority restore...
     later
          Dwight

A few days ago, our MVS V2 server started giving the following message for
severalvolumes:

ANR1400W Mount request denied for volume xxxx -  mount canceled.

According to the messages manual the reason for this is:

The volume show cannot be mounted because the mount request has been canceled.

My question is whether anyone else has seen this message before and who or what
ght be canceling the request (and why).  In some cases the volumes are the same,
ut in others the volumes mentioned one day are not the same as those mentioned o
another day.  I did a q v f=d for the volumes in question and they did not show
y errors.  Is there something else about the volume that could be causing this.
hanks for any insight or pointers you can provide.
