RE: BRMS: Tape densities messed up

By chance did all the LTO5 devices get removed, and then sometime after that
INZBRM *DEVICE was run? That would remove the LTO5 device and tell BRMS it
can't use it.

You may have to manually add an LTO5 device back into the system.

Subject: BRMS: Tape densities messed up

I just opened a ticket about an issue with BRMS tape densities as:


BRMS: Density *ULTRIUM5 is no longer valid

WRKCLSBRM shows
Class Density

ARCHIVE4 *ULTRIUM4
ARCHIVE5 *ULTRIUM5
FMTOPTUDF *UDF
REEL 6250
SAVSYS *ULTRIUM2
ULTRIUM1 *ULTRIUM1
ULTRIUM2 *ULTRIUM2
ULTRIUM3 *ULTRIUM3
ULTRIUM4 *ULTRIUM4
ULTRIUM5 *ULTRIUM5
VRTUDF *VRTUDF
...
Try to change one. Use F4 on "Density". Your only options are:
Density
*UDF
*HPOFS
*VRTUDF
*VRTHPOFS

Why is this a problem? Let me explain further.
ADDMLMBRM MLB(USSGVTL) INZ(*YES) MEDCLS(ULTRIUM5) CHECK(*NO) results in:
Error found on INZTAP command.
then
CPD0084 - '*ULTRIUM5 ' not valid for parameter DENSITY.

When I prompt INZTAP I get the following possible values for density:
