We recently implemented copypools, and I have noticed the following strange
behavior:


     119 Backup Storage Pool  Primary Pool TISDSERV_PTAPE, Copy Pool
                               TISDCOPY_S, Files Backed Up: 0, Bytes Backed
Up:
                               0, Unreadable Files: 0, Unreadable Bytes: 0.
                               Current File (bytes): 612,870

                               Waiting for mount of input volume 317698 (101
                               seconds).

                               Waiting for access to output volume 315076 (102
                               seconds).

     120 Backup Storage Pool  Primary Pool TISDSERV_PTAPE, Copy Pool
                               TISDCOPY_S, Files Backed Up: 86, Bytes Backed
                               Up: 28,466,326, Unreadable Files: 0, Unreadable
                               Bytes: 0. Current File (bytes): 15,006,461

                               Current input volume: 327320.

                               Current output volume: 315076.

I issued a BACKUP STGPOOL command with maxprocess=2.  As you can see - the
input and output pools are the same.  What appears to be happening is that
both processes would like to write to the same output tape.  I would assume
that the output tape will be completely filled; therefore, why is it being
mounted in both processes?  Since this is a copypool, I did not think that the
copypool tape would be used for input, so am disregarding that possibility.
Also, both input and output pools are colocated.

This sure looks like a bug to me - can anyone explain it?   Server is MVS at
V2 level 7.
