IC61924: MAXSIZE VALUE IN TSM 6.1 SELECT FROM STGPOOLS IS INCONSISTENT. TSM 5.X OUTPUT BYTES. SCALE FACTOR IN 6.1 MISSING FOR M AND G.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V6.1 Fix Pack 3 (6.1.3) Server Downloads

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In TSM 5.x the maxsize returned in the select from stgpools was
  displayed in bytes. With TSM 6.1 it has been changed to be
  displayed in number of kilo, mega, giga or tera bytes. When the
  value is mega or giga bytes the scale factor (M or G
  respectively) is missing. The maxsize value output in the select
  from stgpools needs to either be changed back to the 5.x byte
  display format, or the scale factor must be included in the
  output.
  
  TSM Versions Affected: 6.1
  Initial Impact: Medium
  Additional Keywords: zz61 storage pool megabyte gigabyte
  

Local fix

• Use the query storage pool output.
