We occasionally get "Media Mount" errors on some of our TSM clients
because we force them to disk pools on the server and migrate to tape
pools.  Occasionally the disk pools fill before they can be moved to
tape and we don't permit the clients to allocate a tape unit to complete
their backups.  Problem is, the "Media Mount" error message only occurs
in the client's log, not the server's, so it's hard to track down when
and by whom they occur so we can tune our pool sizes or backup schedules
appropriately.  We've adjusted the high migration percentage, but I'd
like a way to see each morning if any of these issues occurred without
having to slurp in over 300 client logs.  Querying the server's activity
log doesn't show this error (msg ANS1312E).  Any ideas are appreciated.
