VOLUME volser ALREADY IN VMARCH TAPECAT AS [ PRIMARY | TWINS ]

Reason:

The TAPEINIT command was trying to initialize tapes for CA VM:Archiver but one of the following occurred:

• The tape has already been added to the CA VM:Archiver tape catalog and has been written on by CA VM:Archiver.
• The tape was added previously to CA VM:Archiver with the CA VM:Archiver option PRIMARY or TWINS. The existence of one of these options, specified in the CA VM:Archiver system, prevents you from initializing the volser with the other option because they are mutually exclusive.

TAPEINIT bypasses initialization of the volser.

Action:

• If the tape has already been added to the CA VM:Archiver tape catalog and has been written on by CA VM:Archiver, do not initialize this tape.

  If the tape is really scratch and CA VM:Archiver does not have data on it, you can enter the CA VM:Archiver VOLUME CLOSE volser command and then enter the TAPEINIT command again.

• If the tape was added previously to CA VM:Archiver with the CA VM:Archiver option PRIMARY or TWINS, enter the TAPEINIT command again with the new (PRIMARY or TWINS) option.
