It did not have a max size set on the pool, but the pool was full enough that 
it could not fit 5G more into it.   This apparently is treated like a file size 
limit and tries to dump the large file directly to tape (at least when the 
storage pool is not full enough to trip the migration limits).

Thanks

Hey Louis,

try doing a Q STGPOOL xxxxxx F=D on your disk pool and see what the MAXIMUM
SIZE THRESHOLD is set to. It might be that you disk pool only accepts files
to a maximum of say, 2 GB in size and the Oracle file are trying to backup
looks to be about 5 GB plus.
