Check the MOUNTLIMIT in the client definition. It controls how many mount points in a sequential pool the client can use at once.

I set up a storage pool for Deduplication and using a file devclass. When I try to back up a windows client to the storage pool, I am getting an error that says "ANR0525W - Server Media mount not possible". However, when I back up to a standard storage pool with a disk devclass, the same client backs up perfectly and then the data can be migrated to the deduplicated storage pool. My questions are these: 1) Can you back up a client directly to a deduplicated storage pool? If so, how? 2) What criteria should be used for the creation of volumes for a deduplicated storage pool? 3) Is there documentation that specifically says that you have to migrate data to the deduplicated storage pool? Any insight on these issues will be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Jim Neal Sr. TSM Administrator U.C. Berkeley Storage and Backup Group
