Do one or more of the following:

• Verify that the media server required for this allocation is running.

• If this is a tape job, verify that ltid is running on the media server. If a media server has gone offline and returned online, a delay of several minutes may occur before a job can use that media server.

• Use the vmoprcmd command to show the state of the media server. If the job is trying to access a disk storage unit, verify that the nbrmms process is running on the media server. If the job is trying to access a tape storage unit, verify that ltid is running on the media server.
