We have a server that is using  Oracle/Rman/TDPO/LanFree backups.  The node
is set to allow 2 mount points.  Yesterday at the start of a backup TSM
threw out
an error saying that channel 2 could not be allocated because the node
had exceeded it's mount points:

10:56:29     ANR0539W Transaction failed for session 190377 for node
SAPPRDD1_DB.
This node has exceeded its maximum number of mount points. (SESSION:
190377)

The backup continued on the first channel and succeeded.

I have search long and hard, but I can not figure out how TSM figured the
node
had exceeded it's setting of  2 mount points.  Is there some other mount
point
limit somewhere other than in the node definition?

tsm server  v5.4.1
tdpo  v5.4.1.0
Storageagent  v5.4.1.0
oracle 10.2.0.2

This is a library sharing environment.  The tsm instance where the node is
defined, tsmsap2, has 12 dedicated tape drives in a 3584 lib.  At the time
of the failure there were at least 6 drives available.

Here is the node info:
