RE: Save system and tape drive

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

1 - If you press F1 on any of those messages it should show you the job 
that generated them.  Then do a WRKJOB and 4 for the spool files.  Maybe 
it's still signed on and you'll use option 10 to look at the joblog.

2 - Pick a directory with something locked.  Then do a 
SAV DEV('/qsys.lib/tap01.devd') OBJ(('/mydir')) ENDOPT(*UNLOAD)
and see if the tape unloads still.

Are you sure that the option 21 does an ENDOPT(*UNLOAD)?

How will the holidays affect your decision?  Can't the operator either 
physically inspect the device (it doesn't hurt to open the doors on a 
3581), or can't they run a 
CHKTAP DEV(TAP01) ENDOPT(*LEAVE)
and if it isn't the volume they want, do a 
CHKTAP DEV(TAP01) ENDOPT(*LEAVE)
We have CHKTAP in programs to ensure that the right ones are loaded.

You do initialize all your volumes with a different volume id, don't you?

RE: Save system and tape drive






Here are the last save messages in QHST. 

316 libraries saved at 05/08/05 02:42:52. 
7429 document library objects saved. 
35335 objects saved. 1 not saved. 

I can find no joblog showing the save/not saved objects. 

I will ultimately have to determine the un saved object, but my
immediate concern with holidays coming up, is finding out if having the
1 object not saved is preventing the tape from ejecting or if there is
some other issue with the tape drive.

Check the joblog for a CPD384E or CPFA09E message.

subject: Save system and tape drive

Our operator has come to me with this issue.  He is telling me that
occasionally the tape drive is not ejecting after the system save(Go
Save 21).  We have a 3581 autoloader tape drive. 

Looking in QHST I see that the last part of the save SAV  shows 1 object
not saved.  It doesn't show me what wasn't saved however. 

Could/would this prevent the tape from ejecting on a system save. 

I can't seem to find the object that wasn't saved.  Is there any place
to look to see this?
