When this happens to us even with a Space Trigger in place
it is necessary to:
1. define a new log volume with dsmfmt
2. extend the log using dsmserv
3. then restart your TSM server
Once it is running you can remove and delete the log vol you
added.

My situation is very different from many TSM sites. I have no tape drives
in my servers so I have no way to create backupsets that can be read by the
client because 3590 is not supported based on what I know. And, anyway, it
would not be feasible. Sorry, I did not fully explain why they are too
Direct answer - it's you. Details below:
1. use double quotes in AS statement - "Unavailable" instead of

2. use AS outside the brackets - (select ...) AS "Read-only", (select ...)

Example:

I haven't looked into the 5.x clients yet, as my server is still at 4.1.4

Just of curiosity - aren't you satisfied by TSM? Why not to migrate those
servers to TSM instead of Legato?
Maybe you can point some points in favor of Legato against TSM. Or this is
just a management decision, not technical?

Don't know what your server/client mix is; but a possible solution is to
keep doing your incrementals to WORM, but buy a CD burner for the server and
create BACKUPSETs for the clients periodically (for the clients that support
