We have a server that is using Oracle/Rman/TDPO/LanFree backups. The node is set to allow 2 mount points. Yesterday at the start of a backup TSM threw out an error saying that channel 2 could not be allocated because the node had exceeded it's mount points:
10:56:29 ANR0539W Transaction failed for session 190377 for node SAPPRDD1_DB. This node has exceeded its maximum number of mount points. (SESSION: 190377) The backup continued on the first channel and succeeded. I have search long and hard, but I can not figure out how TSM figured the node had exceeded it's setting of 2 mount points. Is there some other mount point limit somewhere other than in the node definition? tsm server v5.4.1 tdpo v5.4.1.0 Storageagent v5.4.1.0 oracle 10.2.0.2 This is a library sharing environment. The tsm instance where the node is defined, tsmsap2, has 12 dedicated tape drives in a 3584 lib. At the time of the failure there were at least 6 drives available.
