What you are looking for is in the DEVICE CLASS associated with the storage pool. Look at MOUNTLIM.

Is there a way to limit the number of tape drives used by a copy storage pool process? I'm using backup storage pool from my large primary pool to a backup pool. The number specified by MAXPRocess is 1, but it doesn't seem to restrict the number of drives used. I need to keep two drives free for restores, migrations, etc. Thanks for your help, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Don Catterson, CPA eServer Administration phone & voicemail: 512.463.4909
