YES, if the transaction size is too large on the client this could happen. What is your MAXSIZE set to on the disk pool? That stops this from happening.

If all your clients don't belong to a common domain, then check the server for missing copygroup definitions, incorrect target pool, target pool with no associated volume, and/or policysets that haven't been 'activate'd.

TSM seems them as available but not Unix. I have had to delete the drive and redefine so that they can be used. It was a bug in a certain code of TSM but I can't remember which one or even if that is truly your problem. Thanks, Rob.

What happened is stgpool probally filled up and the backup tried to continue on tape, but with Number of Mount points set to 0 said no and it failed.

In client dsmerror.log: 12/17/02 15:01:54 ANS1228E Sending of object '/tibco/logs/hawk/log/Hawk4.log' failed 12/17/02 15:01:54 ANS1312E Server media mount not possible 12/17/02 15:01:57 ANS1312E Server media mount not possible In activity log: ANR0535W Transaction failed for session 1356 for node SY00113 (AIX) - insufficient mount points available to satisfy the request. There is NOTHING else running on this TSM server. All 6 drives are online. The backup is going to a 18GB diskpool that is 8% full, there are plenty of scratch tapes, i set max mount points to 2. keep mount point=yes. it starts backing up the system then just fails... always at the same point. the file its trying to back up does not exceed the max size. all drives are empty, online. diskpool is online. i see the sessions start and then just after a minute or 2 just abort. any ideas?
