Rob,
I had a similar issue once when a drive was replaced and then the new drive didn't report in properly.
This is not the case.
I think this is a tape library timing issue, where, if the library does not complete its request in the allotted time, a failure will occur.
In this case, I think a request was made to mount a volume, the library was busy with other processing, so the mount did not occur in the allotted time, thus a failure occurred.
Your thoughts, how and who should this be reported to?
Paul

I just replaced one of the LTO4HH drives in one of our libraries. Would often drop connection well into a save.
When they replaced the drive I had some 'fun'. The serial number of the drive (not the library) changed.
Drive is controlled by VIOS. That VIOS lpar does the fiber tape drive.
WRKMLBSTS and vary off for all lpars of IBM i.
WRKCFGSTS *DEV TAP* and vary off for all lpars of IBM i.
replace drive
Bounce VIOS lpar. (probably could have done 'iop reset' if I new vios
better.)
WRKHDWRSC *STG
http://mytaplib, record serial number of drives.
STRSST delete old resource for replaced drive. Rename resource of new drive to that of replaced drive. I'm OCD on this as I like the resource names to match the drive names. And I like them to be consistent across all lpars.
WRKMLBSTS ensure that it is still varied off WRKCFGSTS *DEV TAP* on just one lpar. Vary on replaced tape drive (not library). Use 'itdt' to stress test drive. Passed. Vary off TAP* devices.
WRKMLBSTS and vary it on.
make sure that only the replaced drive is 'allocated unprotected'. Do long extensive BRMS save. When complete, expire the tape.
WRKMLBSTS for all lpars and make sure library is ready and drives are all allocated unprotected.

I had a repeat of this issue/failure
We had the exact same series of messages, (from our 2/1 failure) along
with a DUPMEDBRM failure, different LPAR.
There was also a drive auto clean request issued 2:31 am, may or may not
be related.
So the library was busy moving volumes for 4 drives, 2 lpars, between 2:30
and 2:32 am.
CPP6316 - Hardware configuration change detected.
BRM4138 - Media duplication completed with errors.
CPF414C - Command not allowed
I think the issue is related to month end tape processing.
Both LPARS were in the process of starting a DUPMEDBRM with in the same
minute, 2:30 am.
Unfortunately no drive dumps obtained.

Hardware configuration change detected.
Below is IBM's PMR explanation from the 2/1 failure.
"The issue is that the library reported it was offline in the middle of a
function. The question is why. There is nothing from the IBM i that would
account for this.
The User command was running, we were processing a mount function, the
library was taking commands and sending data, we were able to identified
the location of the desired tape, we had the tape device, but when we
issued the move command the library returned offline. The library for some
reason decided to respond offline. Which then leads to the PAL and the
CPF414C.
We know the PAL is not the correct one. The SK 2/0412 error was mapped to
a hardware configure error and it should be mapped to a library state
change. But in either case the end result would be the same... CPF414C
library not in library mode. We have this PAL change documented.
So if you or your staff can not account for a reason why the library would
have been offline, then we would need the library and drive logs
collected at the time of the failure to provide why the library responded
the way it did.
If this issue can be reproduced we will need the following collected at
the time of failure....
Call QTADMPDV TAPMLBxx
Library and drive logs captured from the Library GUI Service functions
(Tape Support would assist with the operation if needed)"
Anyone experience something similar?
Any thoughts on which support to contact?

I had this error occur over the weekend, during a DUPMEDBRM.
The Dup failed, and the recovery.
TAPMLB01 then recovered with no operator intervention.
Following DUPMEDBRM, and saves were successful.
Has anyone ever experienced this issue?
