remember it might not be that at all...
do you have any other tape activity by that box on the tsm server ???
look at your "maxnummp" for your client...  if you have a maxnummp of 1 and
try to initiate two restores that require different tapes (yadayadayada)
your second restore request will fail.
maxnummp is a nice concept but I've got all mine set to 999 for the clients
(sigh)

Subject: recall task priority


*SMers,

TSM Server 4.2.2.0 on AIX 4.3.  Three tape drives.  Two migration processes
running, one reclamation process pending, waiting for mount point.

Client requests restore of file.  Client message - "Data unavailable to
server."  Server activity log message - "ANR0567W Retrieve or restored
failed for session nnnn node xxxxxx - insufficient mount points available
to satisfy the request."

I thought client recall requests always supercede migrate and reclaim
processes, wherein a drive would be made available to satisfy the
recall.  Is there parameter I need to set to achieve this?  I don't
remember this happening with earlier server versions.

I placed a call to tivoli support, and have waited two hours for a return
call.  Meantime, thought I would put this one to the user forum.

Thank you.  John
