You've checked the actlog around the time the error occurred?

You're sure that the volume was not full and no more scratch volumes
could be assigned (maxscratch)? You also checked that the Windows volume
had sufficient space for the volume (initially only the space for the
data in the volume is assigned and the volume will grow as data is
assigned to the volume)?

Met vriendelijke groet, with kind regards,

Anyone else seeing:

ANR8503E A failure occurred in writing to volume

when writing to a FILE class storage pool volume defined on a Windows
share? This is TSM 5.5, Windows 2003 SP2 on both the sharing system
and the TSM server. Strangely enough, there are no entries in either
the sharing system's event log or the TSM server's event log. The
volume is changed to readonly by TSM after the error, and the writing
process (MOVE DATA) dies.

I found a reference to someone else having this problem about a year
ago, but I never saw an answer. Maybe more people have inflicted this
pain on themselves by now?

We opened a ticket w/ MS, but w/o any eventlog entries, they seem a
little dubious.
