• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During data ingest to container storage, IBM Spectrum Protect
  Server will check the amount of mounted existing containers
  before attempting to  allocation new container from the file
  system free space. This can possible cause data ingest to
  container to fail with premature "ANR0522W - no space" condition
   when the container file system has sufficient free space.

  IBM spectrum Protect Server v7.1/V8.1 using directory  container
  storage.
  

Local fix

• execute below command:
  SETOPT SDMAXSESSIONCONTAINERS 2048

  This option controls the maximum number of existing containers
  that will be mounted before the application will open a brand
  new container.  The default is 50, setting it to 2K disable the
  option.
