Help!
Running TSM 5.2.7.1 under AIX 5.2. Problem I have not seen before.
I am receiving:
01/15/07 08:09:15 ANR0984I Process 64 for DATABASE BACKUP started in the
BACKGROUND at 08:09:15. (SESSION: 4439, PROCESS: 64)

BACKGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE at
08:09:34. (SESSION: 4439, PROCESS: 64)
Other processes like migrations, etc. are also failing. But from a q libv I
can tell I have 16 scratch tapes. My 3590 device class is set to
format=drives, so that isn't my problem. Since this isn't a storage pool
volume, Maxscratch does not apply, but it is set to 6000, and our tape
storage pool has only 1500 tapes in it.
I was having the problem yesterday, and rebooted the TSM server. It came
back up, and I was able to do a Backup DB at that time, and it also mounted
a few scratch tapes in our primary tape pool. It added the scratch tapes to
the tape pool with no problem. Then about an hour later (after I had gone
to bed) it started getting the same problem. It says I don't have scratch
tapes, but I do.
Can anyone give me any insite? I am really stumped.
