Hello Eric,

You can look up a lot of error numbers in your system's errno.h file. On AIX
(as it may be on many UNIX systems) this file is located in /usr/include/sys.
On AIX, errno=47 means that the media is write-protected. (Note that errno
numbers often differ from one operating system to another).

Best regards,

Andy

Subject: ANR8779E Unable to open drive /dev/rmt0, error number=47

Hi ADSM-ers!
When I start a BACKUP STG a tape is mounted in the drive and after a few
seconds I receive the following errors:

ANR8779E Unable to open drive /dev/rmt0, error number=47
ANR1404W Scratch volume mount request denied - mount failed.

ANR1216E BACKUP STGPOOL: Process 6 terminated - storage media inaccessible.

I can however do an AUDIT VOLUME on the drive without any problems!
Anybody seen this before?
Thanks in advance!!!
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon
