Just a thought : Is your primary disk pool set up properly with next
storage pool to a tape pool that exists and has scratches available to it?

Subject:  server media mount not possible


Can anyone point me to a fuller description or explanation of that error
message (in the subject)? It has no message number, and is in the client's
dsmerror.log and a pop up window. There are no error messages in the
server activity log, and I know that all the drives in the robot/library
are available and that there are scratch tapes in the robot/library.

Server runs TSM for AIX 4.1.0.0. Client runs TSM 4.1.2.12 (WinNT 5),
client is trying to back up a large file (2.1 G, which is larger than
Maximum Size Threshold of the primary backup storage pool on disk). The
Client Options Set has Tapeprompt=yes override=no, and the client has
tapeprompt=no. The file should go straight to the secondary backup storage
pool, which is a tape pool, and that appears to be what the server is
trying to do, but something is going wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks!
