Hi Zoltan! Try this one: issue a "show sspool" command. If the sum of NumScratchVols and NumRsvdScratch equals your total amount of scratch tapes, you're probably hit by this APAR: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IC77685 I have bine there, either raise your maxscratch value or bounce the server to reset the NumRsvdScratch value. Although the APAR is old and states it's fixed in 6.2, I still get hit by it on my 6.3 servers. I raised the maxscratch to 100,000 to get rid of it. These reserved scratches are (in my case) mainly caused by failed storage agent scratch mounts. Kind regards, Eric van Loon Air France/KLM Storage Engineering

Client is Linux 7.1.6.4. This morning at 6am is the second time I have had this "failure" when it isn't true. ANR0522W Transaction failed for session 19482 for node VCU-GS1.CHPC.VCU.EDU (Linux x86-64) - no space available in storage pool BACKUPPOOL and all successor pools. But it isn't true. The BACKUPPOOL pool is only 92% used (of 9TB) and the hi/low triggers are 95/90. I checked activity logs and there haven't been any recent migrations. The NEXTPOOL is tape and all 9-drives are free and the MAXSCRATCH count hasn't been hit. The backup only transferred 60GB (of 108TB examined) before dying due to this erroneous error. No other errors in the activity log. So, what gives? -- *Zoltan Forray* Spectrum Protect (p.k.a.
