Richard, when I do a q node "server" f=d for one of the servers
generating the ANR4744W I see that MAXNUMMP value is:

Maximum Mount Points Allowed: 2
        Auto Filespace Rename : No
             Validate Protocol: No
                   TCP/IP Name: WDBSSDBEVE02

It is already set to 2.  Does it need to be higher than that?

so if I were to run a upd stgpool GEN_TAPE copystg=nothing, would that
remove GEN_OFFSITE as our current copy pool for GEN_TAPE?

The message Explanations and Technote 1190373 indicate that TSM is
begging you to supply the needed MAXNUMMP value.  Your posting
doesn't say why you are denying this to TSM.

My standing recommendation is to not use GUIs for system
administration: they are notorious for malfunctions and for hiding
problems.  Use the CLI.  And, where a server operation fails, there
should be a reason in the Activity Log.
