Error description

  • The Tivoli Storage Manager server can crash during a lanfree
    backup if there is an error trying to mount a scratch volume.
    The following call stack was observed on AIX:
    
    AsChangeVolStatus(??, ??, ??, ??) at 0x10047fa78
    AsReleaseVol(??, ??) at 0x10047b324
    AsEndTxn(??, ??) at 0x100493ee4
    ssEndTxn@AF17_8(??, ??, ??, ??) at 0x10037cdb0
    DoEndFuncCallbacks(??, ??) at 0x1000c0fbc
    tmAbortX(??, ??, ??) at 0x1000c146c
    SmNodeSession(??, ??) at 0x100435218
    DoDbServer(??, ??) at 0x1003f3698
    smExecuteSession(??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??) at 0x1003eca3c
    psSessionThread(??) at 0x10009ad44
    StartThread(??) at 0x10001b684
    
    NOTE: The key functions in the callstack for failing
    thread will be AsEndTxn or AsPrepareTxn. The actual crash
    can occur for any volume activity within those calls.
    Initial Impact: Medium
    Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: All 6.x Servers
    Additional Keywords: TSM zz61 zz62 lanfree lan free crash core
