The logical volume is stuck mounting due to an interrupted operation (job abort, LPAR IPL, or other disruptive action taken on the host side for various reasons). In this case, ITAU would like to know WHICH volume was left mounted and requires operator intervention (either via host or MI) to unload it and prevent future job errors with CBR4196D-67 (Requested volume already in use).

It is not a code defect.
