Re: LAN FREE BACKUPS
What is MAXSCR set to? If it is higher than what your current volume count is, then call support. If you have run out of volumes raise the number and try again. I am betting this is the case and that there is a logic error where the SAN client looks for volumes in the scratch pool only. What I do not understand is how you could have volumes in your storage pool as EMPTY unless you have performed a DEFINE VOLUME to put them in the pool permanently. Even if you had reuse delay on they would show a status of PENDING. Paul D.

Re: LAN Free backups
Joe, It is interesting that you can't have a disk storage pool defined in the management class storage hierarchy or client won't use the LAN path, even if there aren't any volumes in the diskpool. Yes, you can use the FILE device type and set up a hierarchy in the same way you would use a disk pool - set maxsize on a storage pool made of the FILE device type so that larger files go to tape and the smaller files stay on disk. However, the last time I checked you must have SANergy to use this feature so that you can define the files to both systems. I haven't used this method yet.

Re: LAN Free backups
What kind of HBA are you using in the client machine ? What is the tape library ? Has LAN-free ever worked on this node, or has it just gone wrong recently ? If you say the backups are now going to a disk pool, then the mgnt class for those files are not pointed at a tape pool. Apart from the drive mappings, you have to point the the LAN-free client at a stg pool that is accessable directly over the SAN. ie the tape or a SANergy disk pool. If you are using a Qlogic HBA in Windows 2000, sometimes new machines entering the SAN fabric can change the device name the ADSMSCSI driver see the tapes as. Check the mtx.x.x.x names on the stg agent machine are the same as you have mapped. Also with Qlogic, W2k can lose sight of the tape drives if other machines are rebooted on the SAN. Lastly if you started the stg agent, then defined all the drive maps to it, I've seen that the stg agent doesn't always pick this up right away. Try stop/starting the stg agent to pick up the mapping conf.
