Re: TSM - CPF414D

Hi Rob

sorry, I misunderstood what was going on earlier. I think I know what 
you mean now: You are saving some stuff on the iSeries direct to tape 
and during the process it gets interrupted with the message you 
quoted; at the same time you were running a save using TSM. Is this 
correct ? It sounds like you are using TSM as a server but not for 
iSeries data, is this also correct ?

It sounds like there is some contention between the iSeries saves and 
TSM for the tape drive (which to  my knowledge has always been a 
problem). Is it possible that the TSM saves hit the migration 
threshold for the disk storage pool which in turn caused TSM to try 
to migrate data to a tape storage pool ?
