ANR5373I (S/390)
Unable to allocate tape drive with device type device type for tape volume ID.
Reply ’C’ (cancel), ’R’ (retry), or ’W’ (wait).
Explanation: The server attempts to allocate a tape drive. The allocation attempt
fails because no acceptable tape drive is available. An acceptable tape drive has the
device type indicated in the message.
Before more attempts are made to allocate the tape drive, the operator is prompted
to indicate whether or not the tape drive allocation request can be satisfied. The
device type and the VOLSER of the tape volume volser to be used for the pending
request are provided in the message text.
System Action: If the operator replies ’R’ (meaning retry), the server will retry the
tape drive allocation. If no acceptable drive is available after retrying the allocation,
the server will reissue this message.
If the operator replies ’W’ (meaning wait), the server will retry the tape drive
allocation. If the allocation request cannot be satisfied immediately, the server will
wait while MVS Allocation Recovery issues message IEF238D. After IEF238D is
issued, none of the following can occur in the server until the allocation completes
or is canceled:
¶ dynamic allocations or deallocations
¶ file opens or closes
¶ tape volume changes between read mode and write mode
If the operator replies ’C’ (meaning cancel), the server will fail the tape drive
allocation and its associated server request.
Any other reply will cause the server to reissue this message. Determine if there are
any tape drives which can be used to satisfy this request (either online or offline)
prior to responding to this message.
User Response: None.
