David,

Have you verified that collocation is set to NO on the tape storage pool
that this client is backing up to.

Subject: MediaW


I have a client node that backs up over the lan to tape.  When I do a Q
SESS during a backup, there are 3-4 sessions running.  One session has a
tape mounted but one of the others remains in MediaW.  The node has
Maximum Mount Points Allowed: 2 defined.  The device class has Mount
Limit: DRIVES defined.  There are empty tape drives available.  Any
ideas why a tape is not being mounted?

TSM server is TSM 5.1.6.3 running on AIX 5.1 64 bit mode.  Client is
TSM 5.1.5.11 running on Aix 5.1 32 bit mode.
