ERROR_RESOURCE_DISABLED

RSM has the resource, but it is not enabled for use

RSM object information separates Enabled from operational state. A device can still be present in the database while administrative configuration prevents RSM from scheduling work on it. Mount and cleaning operations explicitly return this status when a required drive or library is disabled. It differs from a not-present resource, where the configured object no longer corresponds to connected hardware.

Identify every resource in the operation path: library, changer, drive, port and media. Read both Enabled and operational state, then determine why the object was disabled before re-enabling it. A device marked as needing service should not be forced back into production without resolving the hardware or changer condition that prompted the disable action.

What to inspect

  • Read Enabled and dwOperationalState for the library and drive.
  • Review pending device-service operator requests.
  • Enable only the specific resource after validating hardware readiness.
