I'm new to TSM, so this is probably simple. I'm using TSM for Windows 5.2 on a Windows 2000 box, and I'm trying to backup a local drive (D:) as a test. I'm deliberately using an old DAT drive so I can see how TSM handles multiple tape backups and the reclaim feature etc.
Unfortunately, tape 1 fills up in the middle of the night, and by the time I arrive in the morning, the backup has failed because noone has changed the tape quickly enough. The Event Log shows this error:- ANR8351E: 006: Mount request for volume SCRTCH has timed out once an hour for 4 hours. I've tried editing the options file using a text editor and increasing both RESOURCETIMEOUT and MOUNTWAIT, but neither option seems to have any effect. Surely it's possible to get TSM to wait indefinitely until someone changes a tape???????? Martin Walder
