Hi there,

I am a newbie so forgive my naiveness. I want to setup TSM 3.7 on a box with
8mm drive, so I create a library, drive,devclass,stgpool and label my
volume. I also created the domain,policyset,mgmtclass and copypool for
backing up files and register the node in it.
Now when I tried to do a db backup

backup db devclass=c8mm type=full

I got the following from actlog

03/21/01   09:10:51  ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: BACKUP DB
                     devclass=class8mm type=full

                     volume was not mounted.
03/21/01   09:10:51  ANR0985I Process 6 for DATABASE BACKUP running in the
                     BACKGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE at
                     09:10:51.


What I need to do to make it work, I already labeled the volume, its already
inserted in the drive. What is wrong here?? Checkin volume command only
works with automated libraries so I can't check in the volume.

Any help is deeply appreciated.

Arshad.
