APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The 6.1.3.1 TSM Linux x86 client command BACKUP FASTB will fail
  if the FastBack Shell has previously mounted a machine other
  than the FastBack Server, perhaps via a SET_CONNECTION command.
  Error messages such as FBSC7265E, ANS7951E, ANS7941E, and
  ANS7917E are logged.
  

Local fix

• Use the SET_CONNECTION MOUNT_COMPUTER command with the
  FastBack Shell to mount the FastBack Server, and subsequent
  client BACKUP FASTB commands will work correctly.
