DRIVE RESET I/O FOR raddr FAILED; EXECUTION CONTINUES

Reason:

When running in a VM/XA SP environment with the Shared Tape Allocation Manager (STAM) and sharing drives with MVS, CA VM:Tape tried to unload and clear the display for the indicated tape drive, raddr, which it had attached with the NOASSIGN option. This I/O operation failed. CA VM:Tape skips over that drive and continues processing.

Action:

Wait several minutes to make sure the message does not appear again. If the message reappears, enter a DRAIN command for the indicated tape drive and see if there is a hardware problem with this drive.
