Re: BRMS failure

Jack:

Usually there is another back up job that is in MSGW or held for some
reason, - or - BRMS maintenance is running at the same time. Recently it
seems maintenance is causing issues with record locks and high I/O.
WRKMLBSTS will help you find the job.

On rare occasions we've had to reboot the tape library to get it to release
the lock.

Our backups are failing thusly. It makes no sense at all.
There are tapes.
There is nothing else accessing the library.
What's going on? I've tried everything I can think of.
