I ran into this many times, the only way I found that would speed it up after the fact is to increase the mount retention time on the tape device class. To avoid this I had to keep my copy pools in offsite status.

No primary volumes are in disorder and there is nothing in the actlog indicating why a tape from the copypool is chosen. I vaguely rememeber that this was a problem for early 7.1-versions of the server. We are running 7.1.3.1. There is a queue of sessions requesting tapes from the primary pools but if it is a "feature" to lessen the burden on our libraries I would like to be in control. Is this a known problem for this version or should i PMR? Regards, Hans Chr.
