I have done thefollowing tasks.

· checked the volumes which got error message in the log are in the library with readw status for private.

·         NO changes to devclass or in TSM.

·         There are enough scratch volumes are available in the library.

· We had a problem with the griper last week and IBM Support Fixed that and we start getting such problem after that but Hardware support person has not upgrade or de-grade any micro -code on 3494 system or 3590 drives.

·         At this point Library and drives are working fine

·         In a later session I tried to move the data and it worked fine.

· After the failed messages, Most of the time process or schedules get completed successfully.

·

This causes restore/retrieves/reclamation/migration to fail, rather than queue, until a drive becomes available (nothing mounted.

Some time the failed restarted process works fine.

I also found in a later try that all drive were idel and migration failed with the following error message

05/16/02 12:37:36 ANR8447E No drives are currently available in library ATL3494.
