Error description

• TSM overwrites bitfiles from a TSM Client LANFree backup in a
  special configuration:
  .
  The following conditions must apply :
  .
  - A TSM client backups their data LANFree to TSM server SRV1
  - The primary Storage Pool on SRV1 is unavailable.
  - The defined next Storage Pool is handled from a TSM library
    manager (LM).
  - The path from the Storage Agent to the next Storage Pool is
    not defined or off-line.
  .
  A MOVE DATA back from this next Storage Pool to his defined
  primary Storage Pool or an AUDIT VOLUME from this next Storage
  Pool volume shows ANR1330E / ANR1331E messages.
  .
  This issue occurs when TSM stores bitfilles. A later stored
  bitfile overwrites a prior one.
  .
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics
  .
  In a TSM server trace we saw "Positioning NTP volume V12345 to
  4.48" when store bitfile1.
  And also the same  "Positioning NTP volume V12345 to 4.48" when
  store bitfile2.
  bitfile1's position is the same as bitfile2, so bitfile2
  overwrites bitfile1.
  .
  example;:
  bitfile1

  uncertain for volume V12345(16771) - repositioning for append on
