Arshad, It would seem that there are not scratch volumes available for use as a
db backup tape. Try the following select at your dsmadmc prompt to identify how
many scratch tapes are in your library:
select count(*) as num_scratch_tapes from libvolumes where status='Scratch'

Subject: What's wrong here
Hi there,
I am a newbie so forgive my naiveness. I want to setup TSM 3.7 on a box with
8mm drive, so I create a library, drive,devclass,stgpool and label my
volume. I also created the domain,policyset,mgmtclass and copypool for
backing up files and register the node in it.
Now when I tried to do a db backup
backup db devclass=c8mm type=full
I got the following from actlog
03/21/01 09:10:51 ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: BACKUP DB
devclass=class8mm type=full
03/21/01 09:10:51 ANR0984I Process 6 for DATABASE BACKUP started in the
BACKGROUND at 09:10:51.
03/21/01 09:10:51 ANR2280I Full database backup started as process 6.
03/21/01 09:10:51 ANR8447E No drives are currently available in library
LIB8MM.
03/21/01 09:10:51 ANR1404W Scratch volume mount request denied - mount
failed.
03/21/01 09:10:51 ANR4578E Database backup/restore terminated - required
volume was not mounted.
03/21/01 09:10:51 ANR0985I Process 6 for DATABASE BACKUP running in the
BACKGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE at
09:10:51.
What I need to do to make it work, I already labeled the volume, its already
inserted in the drive. What is wrong here?? Checkin volume command only
works with automated libraries so I can't check in the volume.
Any help is deeply appreciated.
Arshad.
