Troy, we have 15 drives in a 3494, so I don't believe it's a lack of drives. The server has an ADMIN volume in addition to Vol1 and SYS, however we only backup Vol1 and SYS. The resourceutilization setting is interesting - I'll reset it to 4 (we used to have it at 3 - I only changed it to try a

Mount retention is pre-empted to gain access to a drive, providing that no process or session is engaged to use the drive and media. See that msg in http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts for reasons we have experienced. Check your Devclass MOUNTLimit as the most common cause, plus your Activity

Thanks for the reply Rich... I am curious about the following from Quick Facts In a library shared by multiple servers, you need to define the number of drives actually allocated to each server; otherwise, if you let DRIVES prevail, each server may think it should have acc

Hi all, Just as an update it turns out that the 3623 Tape Drive and the 3581 tape library are NOT the same library as I thought. Seems to be the same all the way down except the firmware. A 3623 is just plainly not supported under AIX so my atape issues were legit. Now for a new question: Is it pos

Hi, David - That QuickFacts entry harks back to sharing via physical library partitioning. I'll update that to be more in tune with current regimens. Looking through various TSM manuals and redbooks over time shows them generally recommending not using MOUNTLimit=DRIVES; rather, the number of drive

Thanks Jurjen, that is good news. It looks like IBM is slowly fixing this. We will look into re-enabling the Tape Alert messages once we get to the higher microcode. And to answer the other question, I think that most of the messages did indeed occur on a drive that was a control port. Thanks, T

Is there any reason why you can't drain to the next pool? That makes the most sense to me. It will increase tape activity for awhile and if you don't slot offsite it might make things screwy. I suppose if you didn't slot you could also do move data's from one copyopol to another. Becky >>> [EM

I am in dire need of slots in my TSM AIX managed IBM 3583-L72 library. Currently, the default configuration came with 12-I/O slots in the door. The book says I can configure those 12-slots as STORAGE vs I/O, making the L72 actually have 72-storage slots. My questions: 1. How do you do this ?

Seems to me this process does not guarantee you have everything. Hypothetical situation: File A gets backed up from client to Pool A. File A gets backed up to Copypool B. FIle A becomes inactive. Primary tape (in Pool A) gets destroyed, and does not get restored. now the only copy is in Copypool
