That happened to our system.
We have our system in the cloud and the company that is hosting our system moved the VTL to new VTL and didn't check the actual setting on our system.
They set it to *ultrium7.
They did a read not a INZTAP, you can read back 2 levels but can not write 2 levels. They also did not notify us of the change.
I would check with whoever set up the VTL.
Ok, this makes NO sense.
Yesterday the system went down hard.
An outside company was going to do a fire alarm testing and threw the wrong breaker and brought down the data center!!!
WTH?!?!?!
Networks, IBMi, phones, UPS. Everything.
We use a VTL for out nightly backups.
Part of the backup does a INZTAP and has *ULTRIUM5 in Density as that is what we had and still have as needed for a physical tape.
The INZTAP failed last night saying it is an invalid density. NOTHING has changed.
Why in the H....eck would this fail now?
When I do an INZTAP and put ? in the Density, *ULTRIUM5 is not listed.
We are at 7.4 and IPL the box every 4 weeks. Last IPL was 2 weeks ago, except for yesterday's debacle.
