IC66917: REUSE OF EMPTY PRIVATE VOLUME RECEIVES ANR9999D ASUPDATEEMPTYVOL: ATTEMPT TO OVERWRITE EXISTING ENCRYPTION KEY

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ANR9999D_3962351595 AsUpdateEmptyVol(asvol.c:3389) Thread<1742>:
  Attempt to overwrite existing encryption key (lengths =
  72,48,72), for volume NNN is received upon reuse of an empty
  private volume in a storage pool whose device class is
  configured for drive encryption. Code added with APAR IC64914 to
  help avoid the overwrite of encryption information for empty
  scratch volumes (which should never exist) introduced this error
  message. However, since empty private volumes need to obtain new
  encryption keysthis needs to be modified to allow predefined
  volumes to be reused.
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: 6.1.3.1  5.5.4.1
  Initial Impact: Medium
  Additional Keywords: encrypt reusing not scratch vol
  

Local fix

• Delete the private volume and redefine it before attempting to
  reuse it
