Re: 4mm - Database backup Failure - Insufficient # of mount points

If it's an AIX system which I believe it is... You must go into smitty -
devices - tivoli storage manager devices then define a manual tape drive
which will link the /dev/rmt4 to a /dev/mt4 (TSM manual tape device drive
instance). This will put a Tivoli Device driver on the manual tape drive.
It's pretty self exclamatory once you get into smit and look around at the
smit menus. Manual tapes like 4mm's need a device driver in order for TSM
to use it. This smitty procedure puts one on it for you. If that still
doesn't work just give a shout and we'll look at some other things but I
ran into the same thing, and the drive just needs to be identified as a TSM
device in smit as well as defined in TSM. Thanks!.

SET SERVERNAME PFPC_TSMTEST
DEFINE LIBRARY MANUAL_LIBRARY LIBTYPE=MANUAL
DEFINE DRIVE MANUAL_LIBRARY 4MMTSMDRIVE DEVICE=/dev/rmt4 ONLINE=Yes
Here is the activity log:
