Hello, recently there were a few postings to this list concerning the message ANR8447E, which means that no drives are available in the library. Today, I got the problem too.
The environment: TSM server 5.1.6.2 on AIX 4.3.3. The library ist a STK Powderhorn with 2 LSMs. ACSLS is 5.1.1, the drives are 16 3590E , of which 8 are used for TSM. Mountlimit for the 3590 devclass is set to drives. The problem started with one drive which could not be unloaded. The LSM reinitialized, the drive was set offline by TSM. This morning I observed message ANR8447E which caused a restore session to be cancelled. This was despite the fact that there were enough drives available to satisfy the request for the restore. Could somebody tell me where the server checks for available drives? Could the problem be caused by a label libvol which was running ( even if I gave label libv 2 drives there were enough free drives)? Is there a problem with mountlimit=drives if there are offline drives?
