VMBRITS Utility Messages

0002S

CP REWIND FAILED WITH RC = retcode.

Reason:

The VMBRITS utility encountered the specified error when rewinding a tape.

Action:

To determine the problem. Correct the problem and run VMBRITS again, see the IBM documentation for the CP REWIND command.

0003I

MOUNT TAPE [volser] AT 181. PRESS ENTER WHEN THE TAPE IS READY.

Reason:

VMBRITS requests that a tape be mounted on the device defined at virtual address 181. When processing a multi-volume series, mount requests for the second and subsequent volumes in the series will specify the volser. VMBRITS issues message 0004I and waits for you to respond.

Action:

Attach a tape drive at virtual address 181 and mount the tape. Press ENTER to indicate to VMBRITS that the tape is ready. To end VMBRITS processing at this point, respond to message 0004I by typing END.

0004I

TYPE END TO END VMBRITS.

Reason:

This message follows message 0003I. See message 0003I for more information. VMBRITS waits for you to respond.

Action:

To end VMBRITS processing at this point, type END. See message 0003I for more information.

0005I

VMBRITS COPYRIGHT year, CA

Reason:

VMBRITS issues this message during initialization. Initialization continues.

Action:

None.

0018I

CANCELLATION RECORD FOUND FOR userid vaddr [tag]; THIS IS NOT THE VALID BACKUP COPY OF THIS MINIDISK.

Reason:

When you use the Reduce Tape Remounts feature, if CA VM:Backup encounters an error while backing up a minidisk, it stops backing up the minidisk. Under some circumstances, CA VM:Backup leaves a partial backup of a minidisk on the tape. To indicate that this backup is not a valid backup of the minidisk, CA VM:Backup writes a cancellation record immediately following the partial backup. VMBRITS issues message 0018I when it detects a cancellation record; this is not a problem. VMBRITS processing continues.

Action:

None.

0022I

VMBRITS IS PROCESSING YOUR REQUEST.

Reason:

VMBRITS issues this message periodically as it processes your request.

Action:

None.

0024S

TAPE IS NOT A VALID VM:BACKUP TAPE.

Reason:

The tape from which data is to be restored was not created by CA VM:Backup. It contains either an invalid UHL1 record or an unrecognized record. The tape may have been reinitialized. VMBRITS processing ends.

Action:

Start VMBRITS again. Mount a valid CA VM:Backup tape when prompted for the tape from which to restore data. The CA VM:Backup system administrator can contact Technical Support.

0025S

TAPE HAS BEEN REINITIALIZED; HDR1 IS ALL ZEROS.

Reason:

The tape contains only the VOL1 and HDR1 header labels. This indicates that the tape has been reinitialized. VMBRITS processing ends.

Action:

When a tape is reinitialized, you cannot use the VMBRITS utility to restore data from the tape. You cannot recover the CA VM:Backup data on the tape. Verify that you have selected the correct tape. Start the VMBRITS utility again using a tape that has not been reinitialized.

0026S

ERROR READING TAPE LABEL RECORD; READLREC RC = retcode.

Reason:

The VMBRITS utility uses the READLREC routine to read data on the tape. The READLREC routine encountered an error while attempting to read a header or trailer record on the tape.

Action:

The CA VM:Backup system administrator must contact Technical Support.

0028I

PERMANENT I/O ERROR READING TAPE RECORD. ATTEMPTING TO CONTINUE; ERROR MAY CAUSE MISSING DATA.

Reason:

A permanent I/O error occurred while reading a tape record. This can be caused by media or hardware failure. Any data contained in the failed record cannot be read by the VMBRITS utility. Processing ends.

Action:

If a copy of the failed tape exists, use the copy instead. If no copy exists, clean the tape drive or use another tape drive. If the problem persists, perform a service check on the tape drive subsystem. Check the output reports carefully to determine which files or minidisks may be affected by the I/O error.

0029S

ERROR READING TAPE RECORDS; READLREC RC = retcode.

Reason:

The VMBRITS utility uses the READLREC routine to read data on the tape. The READLREC routine encountered an error while attempting to read tape records on the tape.

Action:

The CA VM:Backup system administrator must contact Technical Support.

0034I

An error occurred while accessing the minidisk to receive the restored data. The specified code is the error code returned by the CMS ACCESS command. VMBRITS ends abnormally without restoring any data.

Action:

For an explanation of code, see the IBM documentation on the CMS ACCESS command. Correct the problem with the target minidisk and run VMBRITS again.

0083E

TARGET MINIDISK vaddr IS NOT BLOCKED AT blocksize.

Reason:

The target minidisk is not blocked at the same blocksize as the minidisk being restored. VMBRITS issues message 0085R.

Action:

See message 0085R.

0084E

TARGET MINIDISK vaddr IS LINKED READ-ONLY.

Reason:

Action:

Take the appropriate action:

0086E

UNABLE TO CONTINUE RESTORING userid vaddr [tag]; TARGET MINIDISK FULL.

Reason:

While VMBRITS was restoring the indicated minidisk, the target minidisk filled up.

Action:

Either clear some space on the target minidisk or specify a different target minidisk.

0087I

userid vaddr [tag] HAS BEEN SKIPPED.

Reason:

VMBRITS found the indicated minidisk on the tape but did not restore it because no virtual address was entered in response to message 0085R. Processing continues.

Action:

Reason:

VMBRITS has finished processing the indicated minidisk. VMBRITS ends.

Action:

None.

0089I

0091I

FILENAME FILETYPE RECORDS DATE TIME

Reason:

VMBRITS issues this message before displaying the list of files being restored. Processing continues.

Action:

None.

0093E

FILE IS NOT RESTORED. RETURN CODE code RECEIVED WRITING TO TARGET MINIDISK vaddr.

Reason:

0094E

VMBRITS CANNOT RESTORE userid vaddr tag BECAUSE IT IS ENCRYPTED.

Reason:

The minidisk you are trying to restore was backed up in an encrypted format. VMBRITS cannot restore encrypted data. The minidisk is skipped and processing continues.

Action:

None.

0095E

FILE IS NOT RESTORED. IT ALREADY EXISTS ON TARGET MINIDISK.

Reason:

A file was not restored because another file with the same name already exists on the target minidisk. Processing continues with the next file.

Action:

Either rename or erase the file on the target minidisk before using VMBRITS to restore the backup version of the file.

0096E

VMBRITS CANNOT RESTORE userid vaddr [tag] BECAUSE IT WAS NOT BACKED UP IN CMS FORMAT.

Reason:

The minidisk you tried to restore was backed up in either a physical or CMS ALLOC format. VMBRITS cannot restore data backed up in non-CMS format. This minidisk is skipped and processing continues.

Action:

None.

0098E

VMBRITS PROCESSING ENDED ABNORMALLY.

Reason:

The VMBRITS utility encountered a severe error. For an explanation of the error. VMBRITS processing ends, see the previous message.

Action:

To determine how to correct the problem, see the response of the previous message.

0099E

REPORTS INCOMPLETE BECAUSE OF ERROR code WRITING TO A-DISK.

Reason:

During a VMBRITS job, an error occurred while writing the report to the A-disk. The return code from EXECIO is code. VMBRITS continues to restore without writing information to the report.

Action:

To receive a complete report, either clear some space on the A-disk or define a larger minidisk. Start VMBRITS again.

0100E

INCORRECT OPTION ENTERED. THE ONLY VALID OPTION IS MATCHTAG TAG.

Reason:

When VMBRITS issued a message requesting that you specify the minidisk to restore, you specified the minidisk and an option that is not valid. The only valid option is MATCHTAG tag. This option tells VMBRITS to search for the minidisk that has the specified tag and only restore the minidisk if it finds a minidisk with the exact tag. The tag was associated with the domain and written to tape either when the domain was backed up or during an MPC job. Only an authorized client, such as CA VM:Archiver, can associate a tag with a domain on tape during a backup or MPC job.

Action:

VMBRITS issues message 0101R to request the information again. If the minidisk you want to restore was backed up in a CA VM:Backup backup, do not specify an option. If the minidisk you want to restore was not backed up in a CA VM:Backup backup and has a tag associated with it, enter the MATCHTAG option specifying the correct tag.

0101R

ENTER THE DATA IN THE FORMAT: USERID VADDR (MATCHTAG TAG.

Reason:

See message 0100E.

Action:

Enter the requested information in the indicated format. For more information, see message 0100E.
