Smells more like an I/O failure to the drive or an actual error at the drive. Honestly unless you are a very large shop we don't see many 3590s out there any more, they are getting a bit long in the tooth.

Have IBM help you look in PAL and SAL and other logs, I bet they'll find something in there.

It happened again. Runs along fine, then aborts.

I did get a job log.

System also created QPSRVDMP.

The 3590 device is in FAILED state.

From looking at QEZDEBUG, I see from the call stack, the last three entries
are:

qsrProcessIoReqForGroup_FP7qsrList
qsrSwitchMediaVolume_FP15qsrIO_Request_T13qsrTypeOfFEOV
qsrFeovDevUfcb_FP9qsrFileCb

From looking at QSYSOPR, there is CPI5922 Device description TAP35 is not
usable at this time. No other error message related to the drive before or
after that message.

From QPSRVDMP

DUMP TAKEN FOR UNMONITORED ESCAPE MESSAGE

MCH5203 Condition of source/sink object TAP35 not valid.

System (v5r4) has 246.1G and %system ASP used is 67.4779

My WAG is that the tape got full. But, unlike last week, I never saw a
message requesting a tape change. Last week, I did see that message along
with a message that tape drive needed to be cleaned - which I did last week.

So, any idea as to why there was no tape change message?
