This is a problem known to IBM. I have two PMRs open with them regarding
this, which particularly happens when the HSM and Backup are in the same
storage pool. I recommend that you gather info (Activity Log, client log,
dsmerror, etc.) and open a PMR on it for your case. The more info they
have, the faster they can debug this. A file spanning tapes seems to
precipitate the problem, as ADSM gets sick trying to read and write to
the same tape.
