Hi,

>5.  (all platform) backup client (all versions) keeps a tape mounted
>    on (VM server 3.1.2.40, all versions) after a restore ... until
>    the backup client is exited.  Server "Mount Retention" should be
>    honored, starting with the end of a restore action, not end of a
>    client-server session.  That a tape is mounted for a client is not
>    visible at the client, even if s/he were there to take action
>    (many restores are started just before the owner leaves for the day).

With TSM 3.7 there is the new node parameter KEEPMP. If KEEPMP is set
to NO, the tape will be unounted for another process even if the client
who requests this tape resides in Idle state.

Best regards,
