>From looking at the log below it looks like this backup failed because the backup could not mount a tape. The server logs do show migrations and reclamation running at this time. The disk pool itself is set to a size limit of 8GB.
Could the reason be because, either the tape was in use during a reclamation process or because all drives were in use at the time the backup ran? Is there a way for me to see if all drives were in use at that time? It looks like TSM tries 3 times and fails instead of bumping a process, is this a correct assumption? 06/10/04 04:50:53 Normal File--> 2,358,534,824 /d1/backup/PSCONV/PSCONV_FULL_BACKUP_2004_06_09_020001.dmp.gz [Sent] 06/10/04 04:51:38 Normal File--> 12,157,222,912 /d1/backup/PSCONV/PSCONV_FULL_BACKUP_2004_06_10_020001.dmp ** Unsuccessful ** 06/10/04 04:51:38 ANS1114I Waiting for mount of offline media. 06/10/04 04:52:46 Retry # 1 Normal File--> 12,157,222,912 /d1/backup/PSCONV/PSCONV_FULL_BACKUP_2004_06_10_020001.dmp ** Unsuccessful ** 06/10/04 04:52:46 ANS1809W Session is lost; initializing session reopen procedure. 06/10/04 04:53:01 ... successful 06/10/04 04:54:06 Retry # 2 Normal File--> 12,157,222,912 /d1/backup/PSCONV/PSCONV_FULL_BACKUP_2004_06_10_020001.dmp ** Unsuccessful ** 06/10/04 04:54:06 ANS1809W Session is lost; initializing session reopen procedure. 06/10/04 04:54:20 ... successful 06/10/04 04:55:05 Retry # 3 Normal File--> 12,157,222,912 /d1/backup/PSCONV/PSCONV_FULL_BACKUP_2004_06_10_020001.dmp ** Unsuccessful ** 06/10/04 04:55:06 --- SCHEDULEREC STATUS BEGIN 06/10/04 04:55:06 Total number of objects inspected: 186,319 06/10/04 04:55:06 Total number of objects backed up: 250 06/10/04 04:55:06 Total number of objects updated: 0 06/10/04 04:55:06 Total number of objects rebound: 0 06/10/04 04:55:06 Total number of objects deleted: 0 06/10/04 04:55:06 Total number of objects expired: 27 06/10/04 04:55:06 Total number of objects failed: 0 06/10/04 04:55:06 Total number of bytes transferred: 3.27 GB 06/10/04 04:55:06 Data transfer time: 192.08 sec 06/10/04 04:55:06 Network data transfer rate: 17,881.32 KB/sec 06/10/04 04:55:06 Aggregate data transfer rate: 2,661.80 KB/sec 06/10/04 04:55:06 Objects compressed by: 100% 06/10/04 04:55:06 Elapsed processing time: 00:21:30 06/10/04 04:55:06 --- SCHEDULEREC STATUS END 06/10/04 04:55:06 ANS1312E Server media mount not possible 06/10/04 04:55:06 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT END PEOPLESOFT-LATE-M-F 06/10/04 04:30:00 As always, thanks for the help.
