Multiple things could come into play here...
     Mount limit on the deviceclass... along with the Mount wait time
     then how did the client request the restore/retrieves ? ? ?
     If they did like I see here they probably did a script like this
     *** KIDS...DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME ******
     dsmc restore -pass=blah /home/userid/file1 &
     dsmc restore -pass=blah /home/userid/file2 &
     dsmc restore -pass=blah /home/userid/file3 &
     dsmc restore -pass=blah /home/userid/file. &
     dsmc restore -pass=blah /home/userid/file. &
     dsmc restore -pass=blah /home/userid/file. &
     dsmc restore -pass=blah /home/userid/file187 &

     I get real close to locking nodes every day !
     A bunch is my fault by not educating the users and I'm paying big time
     for it now....

     later
          Dwight

Help, (First timer)
        We run ADSM 2.? On RS/6000 AIX4.1   One of our client submit requests to
        unload some files on
the archive 3590 tapes. The client were able to unload a number of files (about
ys 250 files) normally.
Then after that ADSM gave an error message as following:
                     ANS4312E Server media mount not possible
       Some of our guesses include: 1) not enough disk space for all the
       requested files,2) the same files
is being request several times due to multiple requests ... and so on.
Could anyone give us some insight into this problem and may be some solutions of
ow to prevent this
from happening again? Thanks. Paul.
