Hi Christian, Something strange in your output : why does TSM wait for a mount point having devclass "LTOCLASS", if you have defined different devclasse for your primary (LTO2CLASS) and copy pools (LTO3CLASS) ?

Hi Everyone, I hope all of you hade a great vacation during the summer. But I have a funny problem with my TSM Server. My TSM Server is 5.4.0.3 based on Windows Server 2003 and an IBM 3584 Library. In the library I have 4 x LTO2 drives and 1 x LTO3 drive. Hopefully next week will I have 2 x LTO3 and sometimes under next year only LTO3. My Primary pool use Device Class LTO2Class that is a Device Class assigned only to LTO2 drives. My Copy Pool use Device Class LTO3Class that is a Device Class assigned only to LTO3 drives. When I do a Backup STG from Diskpool to Copypool everything works fine and it only use LTO3 tapes. When I migrate from Diskpool to Tapepool everything works fine also and it only use LTO2 tapes. But when I want to do a Backup STG from Tapepool to Copypool it hangs and waiting to load my LTO2 tapes. I look in the Activity logs for any reason why it waiting for that tape but can't see any errors.
