Hi, Experts,

I have a little 3575 L18 tape library attached to TSM on AIX. As I have
only 3 dirves on it (strange..), I tried to issued 'backup stg tapepool
copypool' and it gets 2 drives. Now that I have only 1 drive left, I
issued 'backup stg diskpool copypool' thingking that copying from
diskpool to copypool (tapes) would need only 1 drive. But, it says still
'waiting for mount point'. Does it mean that anytime I issue the command
'backup stg', it will use 2 drive at a time?

I tried to buy more drives, but IBM withdrew 3575 library from market.
Any tips for searching for used market? Thanks for your help as usual.
