Message: File name already exists

Explanation: On a tape mount request, the file name that is associated with the request already exists or is already associated with another mount request.

Recommended Action: Submit the request again with a different file name. Specify a file name that does not correspond to an existing file. Or specify a file name that is not in use for another mount request that may be in progress.
