OK Gurus figure out this one. I Started with TSM 5.0 on Win2k with disk spools being the destination for the default management class 'DISKPOOL'. I was able to backup to disk. I added an IBM 3581 LTO. Defined 3 Storage pools based on LTOCLASS1 device class, 'WINDOWS','DAILY','DOCSERV'. I label a tape and check in PRIVATE and define to storage pool 'WINDOWS'. "The customer doesn't want to use scratches, making a fixed pool of tapes. No problem have done this for myself and other customers." I updated the default management class to use 'WINDOWS' storage pool and activated it, the tape mounts for a minute starts to backup, unmounts the tape, then mounts tapes from other storage pools and eventually the backup fails for insufficient space or insufficient mount points. The tapes and drive work because I can backup the database to devclass LTOCLASS1. I changed 'WINDOWS' to use scratches and a tape got mounted and assigned to 'LTOPOOL1' the pool created when the library was defind in the wizard. I Upgraded to TSM 5.1.5 and now get insufficient mount point even when going to disk spool.
Seems to be some confusion between either management class or storage pool. Craig Corder Systems Engineer AIX System Support Specialist Lowery Systems, Inc 1329 Horan Fenton, MO 63026 Phone: 636-349-4556 Fax: 636-349-1438 Cell: 314-602-0426 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
