U can try this:
update devc sonydevc libr=sony4mm mountwait=0 to 9999 (value in min. suitable to u by default it is 60 min. where sonydevc is assumed device class name and sony4mm is the library name) using the same command update devc u can also chage the mountret parameter .

I'm deliberately using an old DAT drive so I can see how TSM handles multiple tape backups and the reclaim feature etc. Unfortunately, tape 1 fills up in the middle of the night, and by the time I arrive in the morning, the backup has failed because noone has changed the tape quickly enough. The Event Log shows this error:- ANR8351E: 006: Mount request for volume SCRTCH has timed out once an hour for 4 hours. I've tried editing the options file using a text editor and increasing both RESOURCETIMEOUT and MOUNTWAIT, but neither option seems to have any effect. Surely it's possible to get TSM to wait indefinitely until someone changes a tape????????
