We use TSM 3.7.3.8 @MVS with several 3590-tapes shared with OS390.
Our biggest files are 30GB (Exchange) and normally went direct to tape
by setting a sizelimit to the diskstorage pool.
What happened last week was an incredible short backuptime of the exchange
node
without any error. Looking through the dsmsched.log I found :
06/21/2001 02:33:46 ANS1312E Server media mount not possible
(due to no tape free at this moment?)
The TSM Client skipped the file and finished with the following summary:

The eventlog shows no exception for this schedule.
IBM's comment: "Works as designed"
Now I consider to do the backup of large files to the primary storagepool on
disk, because its very difficult to detect this error. (error.log shows no
errors)
