Applies to:

Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Customer received an ECAM error with CC=05 RC=117

Cause

CC5 RC117
RTD
DDDDDD
ON VTSS
XXXXXXXX
RETURNED ECAM ERROR CC=5 RC=117
The real tape cartridge is read only.
The system issues message SLS6687I indicating an MVC was mounted for a migrate request
and the cartridge was in a read only state. A new
volume is selected and the migrate
request(s) is re-tried.

Solution

Eject the cartridge and examine the external write protect mechanism.
If the write protect mechanism is set to write protect, position it so it is no longer in write protect mode and re-
enter the cartridge into the library.
If the write protect mechanism is properly set and therefore not the cause of the read only
problem, contact your site’s support services to do the following:

Determine whether the customer’s security software is protecting the cartridge and proper
authorization has not been defined for the HSC started task to write to the MVC.

Query the MVC to check the Read Only status:
.VT Q MVC (volser)

If the status indicates Read Only, use MVCMAINT to turn READONLY off. The problem could also be the result of an MVC that was IMPORTED into the CDS by this utility.
MVCs will be in Read Only until MVCMAINT is used to turn this status off

No service call should be placed for this ECAM message.
