ANR8302E

Resolving the problem

Key 08 means blank check

ASC=00, ASCQ=05 means EOD.

Above I/O error indicates an EOD is encountered when TSM tries to locate data on the tape. This can happen when reclamation or restore is reading from a volume which had been overwritten. This can be caused by a tape being used by used by more than one TSM server in a library sharing environment.
Below steps can be used to correct the problem volumes:

1: Identify the problem volumes

2: Update the access of all problem volumes to readonly to prevent new data being written to the problem volumes, i.e,

UPDATE VOLUME <Volumename> ACCESS=READONLY

ANR2678e return code 499

The problem is with the windows non-unicode applications configuration. DB2 9.5 supports the english (united states) and spanish (españa) for non-unicode applications. In latinamerica generaly the deployment enginieers have in their the Virtual Machines or Windows servers the configuration different to english (united states) or spanish (españa) in the non-unicode applications. This is the problem, DB2 cannot create the TSM database and show the following error:
