My Tsm DB backup keeps waiting for a scratch tape until it cancel.
Hi!
im running a tsm DB backup and the proccess stays in Waiting for scratch volume until it cancel:
Process Process Description Status
Number
-------- -------------------- -------------------------- ---------- ---------- ---
470 Database Backup Full backup: 0 pages of 0 backed up. Waiting for
mount of scratch volume (177 seconds).
from the library GUI , i moved tapes in order to leave the drives free, but when i run the backup again, the message is the same.
I also tried to load 2 scratch tapes on the 2 drives but , again, the process cancel waiting for a scratch.
Any idea?

DB backup does not use TSM format, it uses single tape in its own format.
