This may not be your problem, but I have seen cases with EXPORT where where a relatively simple problem will result in the (totally unhelpful) "error encountered accessing data storage" message.
Try the obvious - make sure the drives in DLTCLASS1 are online; make sure those tape volumes are checked into the tape library. If I were you I would try starting the export again, to a scratch volume. Try another function like a DB incremental backup to DLTCLASS1, just to make sure that those drives are accessible. Also try starting an EXPORT NODE of a single client's filedata to see if you get the same error. And if DLTCLASS1 happens to really be a server-to-server class, rather than physical tape, check for drive availability on the target server. Some of those things may help you find the problem.

In the weekend a full export is taken with the command: export server filedata=backupactive devclass=DLTCLASS1 scratch=no volumenames=000375,000383,000009 This has been running fine for quiet a period (a few years), but now the export fails with following messages in the activity log: 07/26/2003 05:18:11 ANR9999D xibf.c(664): Return code 87 encountered in writing object 0.9041218 to export stream. 07/26/2003 05:18:11 ANR0661E EXPORT SERVER: Internal error encountered in accessing data storage. 07/26/2003 05:18:24 ANR0794E EXPORT SERVER: Processing terminated abnormally - error accessing data storage. 07/26/2003 05:18:24 ANR0620I EXPORT SERVER: Copied 9 domain(s). 07/26/2003 05:18:24 ANR0621I EXPORT SERVER: Copied 18 policy sets. 07/26/2003 05:18:24 ANR0622I EXPORT SERVER: Copied 60 management classes. 07/26/2003 05:18:24 ANR0623I EXPORT SERVER: Copied 64 copy groups. 07/26/2003 05:18:24 ANR0624I EXPORT SERVER: Copied 110 schedules. 07/26/2003 05:18:24 ANR0625I EXPORT SERVER: Copied 14 administrators. 07/26/2003 05:18:24 ANR0626I EXPORT SERVER: Copied 28 node definitions. 07/26/2003 05:18:24 ANR0627I EXPORT SERVER: Copied 85 file space 0 archive files, 344120 backup files, and 0 space managed files. 07/26/2003 05:18:24 ANR0656W EXPORT SERVER: Skipped 0 archive files, 1 backup files, and 0 space managed files. 07/26/2003 05:18:24 ANR0630I EXPORT SERVER: Copied 27726403 kilobytes of data. 07/26/2003 05:18:24 ANR0611I EXPORT SERVER started by ADMIN as process 76 has ended. 07/26/2003 05:18:24 ANR0986I Process 76 for EXPORT SERVER running in the BACKGROUND processed 344508 items for a total of 28,391,836,844 bytes with a completion state of FAILURE at 05:18:24. Does anybody have an idea what is going wrong here? What is the mentioned return code 87? Is this a known APAR fixed in a later release of TSM (the client didn't want an upgrade yet). Thanks for any hints, guidelines how to solve this problem! regards, Kurt Beyers
