Hi Ben,

I think you don't need reserve drive for backup DB operation. This is the
highest priority process, which preempts all other lower priority processes.
In other way, backup database cancel some of other processes which takes
mount point, if no one is available for DB backup. Even if you disable
preempt operation on server side (NOPREEMPT option), backup DB always
preempts all other processes, which takes mount points.

Hi folks,

Is there a way to reserve a drive (3590) just for database backups?
I'm running TSM 4.1 on an m80 (aix 4.3.3.0).  I have 8 3590e 's in a
3494.

Thanks
