ALLOCATED SPACE ON VOLUME volser AT LOCATION location WITH SIZE size IS BEING RETURNED TO FREE SPACE.

Reason:

At process, or command, termination an allocated minidisk was found that has not been claimed by any of the user IDs involved in the command. The command may have terminated abnormally and left the minidisk behind. The space is automatically returned to free space and any data on that minidisk may be lost. The space is not formatted, but is available to be reallocated and would then be formatted.

Action:

If the space was just newly allocated and the process terminated abnormally, no action is required. The command can be repeated and the space would be reallocated again. If the space contains data that should not be lost, then immediately issue the CA VM:Director MANAGE or ADDMDISK command to define a minidisk in the exact location specified in the message, but do not format it. In either case, you should contact your system administrator.
