HI guys
Recently we have had problems starting to show up on our virtual tapes .
We currently run a TSM server 5.5.2.2 on Windows 2003,
And another TSM server on AIX 5.3 , version 5.5.2.0.
Now for the past 3 saturdays at the same time we are getting the following errors
2009-12-05 01:27 ANR1401W Mount request denied for volume SERVER1_TSM.BFS.259976244 - mount failed. (PROCESS: 62)
2009-12-05 01:27 ANR1410W Access mode for volume SERVER1_TSM.BFS.259976244 now set to "unavailable". (PROCESS: 62)
2009-12-05 03:37 ANR1163W Offsite volume SERVER1_TSM.BFS.221366922 still contains files which could not be moved. (PROCESS: 62)
SERVER1_TSM is our AIX TSM SERVER, as its created a link between SERVER1 (AIX) and SERVER 2 ( WINDOWS).
So when The Windows Server backs up its tapes, they are migrated to the AIX server, and then backed up to tape, also when backed up they are backed up to the AIX servers tape library.
The only things that I can see happen when getting these errors is ..
at 01:25 am a Server is backed up at SEVER1 ( AIX)
01:27am SERVER1's Invetory Is expired.
01:28am backup of TSM db
Could this problem be caused by the AIX TSM Server tape lib, running out of mount points?.
When we turn the virtual tape back to available, it stays until the saturday then sets it self to unavailable again, but I cant see anything in the logs that would indicate why its happening.
Any help would be greatley appreciated.
Thanks
Ryan
