Subscribe

You can track all active APARs for this component.

 

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • An IDENTIFY DUPLICATES process will preempt mount points
    assigned to client sessions or other server processes if there
    are no mount points available when it begins scanning a volume
    for duplicate data.  This might prevent clients from
    successfully backing up their data, or from completing their
    backups in the assigned backup window.
    

Local fix

  • - Increase the mount limit for FILE device classes associated
      with DEDUP storage pools.
    - Disable preemption by specifying the NOPREEMPT option in the
      server options file.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: See error description.                  *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply fixing level when available. This      *
    *                 problem is currently projected to be fixed   *

    *                 to change at the discretion of IBM.          *

    so that it will not preempt client sessions or other server
    processes.
    
    Affected platforms:  AIX, HP-UX, Sun Solaris, Linux, and
    Windows.
