IC68708: MAXIMUM NUMBER OF MOUNT POINTS REACHED FOR NODE: RC9 IS RETURNED, WHEN THE RETURN CODE SHOULD BE 41.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error code RC9 (ABORT_DATA_OFFLINE) is returned when RC41
  (ABORT_EXCEED_MAX_MP) should be returned.
  This problem will occur specifically when:
  1. Using DISK as the first level Storage Pool and a sequential
  pool as Next Storage Pool
  2. DISK pool is either full or inaccessible, causing the client
  to directly access the next sequential pool
  3. Client exceeds the maximum number of mount points as a result
  of previous event.
  There are no events logged in the TSM ACTLOG, but if you run a
  API trace on the client you will see:
  05/11/2010 06:15:49.437 [005800] [6012] : dsmsend.cpp         (

  >ANS1309I (RC9)    The requested data is offline.
  Simalirly if you run a trace on the TSM Server you will see:
