One cause can be that the copypool maxscratch limit has been reached. The maxscratch sets the maximum number of scratch volume that can be used by the stroage pool. Shekhar Dhotre wrote: > Hi all, > TSM creates daily copypool(offsite) tapes for me , with command backup > stgpool tapepool

One cause for this that I had here was we had a few scratch tapes available but there were defective. Look at your actlog carefully and see if you are getting other messages (I forget message number) like "Mount request failed" or similar type happening within a few minutes of you errors. Dav

I can not say what is best but what we do. 1) backup diskpool to DLTPOOL2 2) Migrate 3) backup the tape pool to DLTPOOL2 4) Backup DB Both backups must be to the same copy tape pool. We do it in this order to keep down tape to tape operations. If no backups occur during step 1 or 2 then step 3

Suppose a file has been backup stgpool once from primary pool TAPEP to copypool TAPEC successfully. My question is: if the file is detected damage while reading primary pool TAPEP during TAPEC reclaimation, will ADSM keep TAPEC for that file image? Thanks in advance. Regards, Eric Tang

Well, technically they are in sync 'cause the file doesn't exist in either pool ! Granted the damaged file is a problem... Being a .dbf I'm guessing that was an archived file... if it were a "backed up file" TSM, now that the file has been identified as damaged, would back it up during the next
