I have a disk-based pool of 92GB with the MAXSIZEthreshold set to 700M and the next storage pool set to my tapepool which has this parameter set to NO LIMIT. I have a few NetWare clients that have files that >700M. Everytime the backup hits these files on the node, the backup stops with an ANS1312E error in the error log file. Here's what the Messages manual says about this error: ANS1312E Server media mount not possible. Explanation: Server media mount not possible. The server timed out waiting for a mount of an offline volume. System Action: File skipped. User Response: Retry later when server volumes can be mounted. Given this error, I ran a selective backup of one of these files. During this backup, the node sends about 1.3MB and then fails with the error. And, during this time, I check to make sure the tapepool is not being utilized and no tapes are mounted. The server attempts no media mount and there are no actlog entries that indicate a problem. Has someone seen this? How can this be fixed? Here're the system details: TSM v3.7.4.0 AIX 4.3.2 Atape.6.0.4.0 Library: 3575 with 6 3570C drives Here's the node opt file: COMMMETHOD TCPip TCPSERVERADDRESS 10.10.10.2 TCPPORT 1500 NODENAME MYSERVER exclude *:* include sys:\etc\...\*.* include sys:\epnet\...\*.* include sys:\org\...\*.* include sys:\gwmail\...\*.* include sys:\user\...\*.* include sys:\tivoli\...\*.dsm include sys:\dpt\...\*.* include sys:\shared\...\*.* include sys:\users\...\*.* include data:\users\...\*.* NWPWFILE YES PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE SCHEDMODE Prompted SCHEDLOGRETENTION 7 MAXCMDRETRIES 3 RETRYPERIOD 10 COMPRESSION yes COMPRESSALWAYS NO PROCESSORUTILIZATION 5 TAPEPROMPT no SUBDIR YES TXNBYTELIMIT 1024 Thanks in advance for any help.
