It's possible you are just out of scratch tapes in that particular storage pool.

I was notified that a server's file backup that was going directly to tape was getting the following error messages: Node Name: CHSU087 Session established with server ADSMB: MVS Server Version 4, Release 1, Level 3.0 Server date/time: 04/22/02 20:46:23 Last access: 04/22/02 20:44:49 Normal File--> 104,865,792 /u05/oradata/p31a/admi01a.dbf ** Unsuccessful ** ANS1114I Waiting for mount of offline media.

The system was not in tape drive allocation. And the maximum mount point is 10. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be done? The customer has tried several times to backup this file without success. One last question: How do I know what tape a file is on? Is there a query that could tell me, for example, what tape the above file would be located on? Thank you in advance for any help!!!!
