Ok, you checked the maxscratch, but what is the high water mark on your
log and db volumes (log especially).  This one has bit me a few times.
'q log' and 'q db' should answer that.  If they have hit 100% we have
probably hit paydirt.  If not, then I home someone with more experience
than I is listening!

Subject: [ADSM-L] Insufficient space in storage pool -- but not true

Tsm server v5.2.7.0 
Solaris 2.8

Tried doing reclamation on my onsite pool "bigtape" this morning.
All worked through yesterday, but this morning got message anr1086w
insufficient space in storage pool.

Below is a script of the last reclamation, with stgpool definition,
scratch counts and volume counts.
As shown, there should be 50 volumes available before maxscratch is
reached.

HELP!!!
