Have you verified the status of the diskpool volumes? If all volumes are read-only or the storage pool is read-only, NEXTstgpool parameter will be honoured and next (tape) pool will be used.

My server is AIX 5.1.6.2. and most of the windows clients are running at 5.1.5.9. The clients are associated to a management class that's default management class should cause the backups to go to the disk storage pool. There is a management class within the domain that directs the backups to the tape pool, but I do not have it included in the dsm.opt file, in fact I do not have any management class defined, meaning that it should go to the default. Has anyone experienced this problem? Also, I tried an incremental of the c drive with the disk storage pool empty and it's estimated capacity is 38 gb and it still called for a tape. The capacity of the c drive of the client is under 1.5 gb. Thanks, Bill Sherrill
