Jeanne,

You are using a device class of FILE from what I see.  TSM Treats the file
as like a tape cartridge.  This shows that a scratch tape was created, TSM
started writing to it, the FILE reached the max size specified for that
device class, and then closed the file.

 The FILE size is determined by you when you created the device class.  If
you are getting a lot of these new FILE's being created, check your FILE
device class to determine the size. Usually 100GB would be the norm.

Hello.  Any insight is appreciated.....

We are replicating our TDPExchange nodes to an offsite primary pool.
(windows servers, no LTO-tapes involved).
The replication is taking a really long time:

STATUS: Replicating node(s) EXCHANGE_BA1, EXCHANGE_BA2, TDP_EXCH1,
TDP_EXCH2. File
                  spaces complete: 41. File spaces identifying and
replicating: 0. File spaces
                  replicating: 1. File spaces not started: 0. Files
current: 660,011. Files
                  replicated: 12,828 of 12,829. Files updated: 1,454 of
1,454. Files deleted:
                  576 of 576. Amount replicated: 16,998 MB of 381 GB.
Amount transferred:
                 13,470 MB. Elapsed time: 0 Day(s), 12 Hour(s), 27
Minute(s).

I checked the server on the other end and I'm seeing quite a few messages
like:

05/23/2013 09:23:23      ANR8340I FILE volume
M:\TDPEXCH_PRIM1\00212CBA.BFS
                          mounted. (SESSION: 87355)

                          M:\TDPEXCH_PRIM1\00212CBA.BFS. (SESSION: 87355)

                   <and then another new volume:>

05/23/2013 10:40:39      ANR8340I FILE volume
M:\TDPEXCH_PRIM2\00212CBB.BFS
                          mounted. (SESSION: 87355)

                          M:\TDPEXCH_PRIM2\00212CBB.BFS. (SESSION: 87355)

But the amount replicated (the 16,998MB) is not increasing.   What is it
doing for 12 hours?
Thanks so much!
