Hi Zoltan!
Try this one: issue a "show sspool" command. If the sum of NumScratchVols and 
NumRsvdScratch equals your total amount of scratch tapes, you're probably hit 
by this APAR: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IC77685
I have bine there, either raise your maxscratch value or bounce the server to 
reset the NumRsvdScratch value. Although the APAR is old and states it's fixed 
in 6.2, I still get hit by it on my 6.3 servers. I raised the maxscratch to 
100,000 to get rid of it. These reserved scratches are (in my case) mainly 
caused by failed storage agent scratch mounts.
Kind regards,

Subject: No space available in storage pool failure but there is plenty of space

TSM Linux server 7.1.6.3.  Client is Linux 7.1.6.4.

This morning at 6am is the second time I have had this "failure" when it isn't 
true.

ANR0522W Transaction failed for session 19482 for node VCU-GS1.CHPC.VCU.EDU 
(Linux x86-64) - no space available in storage pool BACKUPPOOL and all 
successor pools.

But it isn't true.  The BACKUPPOOL pool is only 92% used (of 9TB) and the 
hi/low triggers are 95/90.  I checked activity logs and there haven't been any 
recent migrations.

The NEXTPOOL is tape and all 9-drives are free and the MAXSCRATCH count hasn't 
been hit.

The backup only transferred 60GB (of 108TB examined) before dying due to this 
erroneous error.

No other errors in the activity log. So, what gives?
