UNABLE TO PREPARE SCRATCH VOLUME volser -- MARKED AS BADMEDIA IN LIBRARY

Reason:

CA VM:Tape found an error while writing the label, rewinding the tape, or performing data security erase (DSE).

Action:

CA VM:Tape sets the BADMEDIA bit in the TMC for the specified volume and, if Autopick is enabled, selects another scratch volume. If Autopick is not enabled, the operator must select another scratch volume to satisfy the mount request. The specified volume will not be able to be used until the BADMEDIA bit has been reset.
