Checking the SYSTEM Setting

CA VM:Tape checks the status of the ACL every time it mounts a general scratch tape. If the control switch is set to MANUAL, the yellow warning light on the ACL control panel blinks and CA VM:Tape issues this message:

THE ACL ON DRIVE addr IS EMPTY OR IN MANUAL MODE

Check whether the ACL control switch has accidentally been moved to MANUAL or AUTOMATIC. If so, move the switch back to SYSTEM.
