Not sure if this applies to you or not, but we ran into the same type of
problem trying to do a multi-session restore using tdp-sql.  The details
are a bit fuzzy since it has been a while, but the problem was caused by
multiple restore streams looking for the same media.  When we ran a
single restore stream we did not have the problem.  Others may have more
detailed insight on how to configure tdp to allow problem-free
multi-session restores, but we simply decided to opt for single streams.

Subject: TDPSQL restore - MediaW


Hi,
I'm on TSM server v.5.2 Win2000, TSM TDP for SQL client v.5.2 Win2000
I've done TDPSQL restores in the past successfully, but now I've got a
strange problem. There are two sessions between server and client. One
is on SendW, the other on MediaW. There is only one mount and I've got
three empty drives. One of the tape paths has a problem and is taken
offline. I wonder why the mount is not done on the other empty drives.
Any suggestions ? Thanks Yiannakis
