Lawrence,

We're running TSM 5.1.7.0 on AIX 4.3.3.

What we've seen is that if a TSM process that reserved the drive dies,
those reservations are not cancelled.

I had an export job abort on dismount failure, and *three days* later the
input and output mount point reservations were still listed in the Q MOUNT
report, even though the export was not restarted.

It took a TSM reboot to clear those reservations.

Could that be the cause of your problem?

We upgradedto 5.1 over the weekend and I'm seeing messages I haven't
seen before related to mounts:
- a reclamation starts
- 2 tapes are called for
- 1 mounts
- the reclamation cancels due to no drives available, although a2nd
drive is available

Anyone seen this?
