Because they changed the tape library device description(s) when they
changed the VTL.
They had to delete and recreate all of the device descriptions.
We are using BRMS. It was done when we went to the cloud.
We never changed the way that we were doing backups.
Did it 2 years ago.

Troy,
What kind of VTL you have has zero effect on what the options are on
F4 or ? to prompt for the DENSITY parameter. Try leaving the device
blank on INZTAP and hitting F4 on the DENSITY parameter.

That happened to our system.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

They set it to *ultrium7.recipient(s) and should "only"
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.
