IC95624: ANR4355W / ANR4362W VIRTUAL VOLUME DELETED ON TARGET DURING "RECONCILE VOLUME" WHILE IT WAS ALREADY DELETED ON SOURCE SERVER

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V6.3 Fix Pack 5 (6.3.5.000) Server Downloads

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• "RECONCILE VOLUME" shows the following errors for volumes
  already deleted on source server:
  
    ANR4355W RECONCILE VOLUMES: Volume TSMB.BFS.11111 not
       valid, source server missing corresponding entry for target
       server.
    ANR4362W RECONCILE VOLUMES: Invalid volume
       TSMB.BFS.11111 deleted from server TSMB for device class
       TSMB_DEVCLASS.
  
  This problem is different than APAR IC93989, in this case the
  volume is really deleted on source server but all the
  corresponding archive files were not marked for deletion on
  target server.
  Target server might suffer lack of storage pool space if
  RECONCILE is not done from time to time.
  
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 on
  all supported platforms
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics
  
  . Source server activity log shows:
     ANR1341I Scratch volume TSMB.BFS.11111 has been
           deleted from storage pool STG_REMOTE.
  
  . A "SHOW VIRTVOL TSMB" run just after the volume deletion shows
  the following for this volume:
  
   VIRTUAL VOLUME: 2928
    HL=ADSM/TSMB.BFS.11111,  LL=BFS.OBJ.1,  objId=855351746,
    firstObjId=855351746
    objSize=118502012,  numObjects=4,  when: 12:05:54 on
    01-03-2013
    Marked For Delete: TRUE, when: 13:03:24 on 21-08-2013
    HL=ADSM/TSMB.BFS.11111,  LL=BFS.OBJ.4,  objId=855351749,
    firstObjId=855351746
    objSize=120850038,  numObjects=0,  when: 12:05:57 on
    01-03-2013
    Marked For Delete: FALSE
    HL=ADSM/TSMB.BFS.11111,  LL=BFS.OBJ.3,  objId=855351748,
    firstObjId=855351746
    objSize=27557,  numObjects=0,  when: 12:05:57 on 01-03-2013
    Marked For Delete: FALSE
    HL=ADSM/TSMB.BFS.11111,  LL=BFS.OBJ.2,  objId=855351747,
    firstObjId=855351746
    objSize=38211116,  numObjects=0,  when: 12:05:56 on 01-03-2013
    Marked For Delete: TRUE, when: 13:03:24 on 21-08-2013
  
   This volume is made up of 4 archive files on target server TSMB
  and only two parts are "Marked For delete: TRUE" .
  If a "RECONCILE VOLUME" is run at this point there is no error,
  the volume is skipped  if it has at least one "TRUE".
  Later if an "expire inventory" is done on target, the 2  "TRUE"
  parts are removed but  the 2 last ones remain.
  
  A new "SHOW VIRTVOL TSMB" shows:
  
   VIRTUAL VOLUME: 2907
    HL=ADSM/TSMB.BFS.11111,  LL=BFS.OBJ.3,  objId=855351748,
    firstObjId=855351746
    objSize=27557,  numObjects=0,  when: 12:05:57 on 01-03-2013
    Marked For Delete: FALSE
    HL=ADSM/TSMB.BFS.11111,  LL=BFS.OBJ.4,  objId=855351749,
    firstObjId=855351746
    objSize=120850038,  numObjects=0,  when: 12:05:57 on
    01-03-2013
    Marked For Delete: FALSE
  
  Now there are 2 which are not marked for deletion BFS.OBJ.3
  and BFS.OBJ.4
  
  If a reconcile is done now, the volume appears in error in
  actlog and is set for deletion by the reconcile
  with message :
  
     ANR4355W RECONCILE VOLUMES: Volume TSMB.BFS.11111 not
       valid, source server missing corresponding entry for target
       server.
     ANR4362W RECONCILE VOLUMES: Invalid volume
       TSMB.BFS.11111 deleted from server TSMB for device class
       TSMB_DEVCLASS.
  
  After reconcile, a new "SHOW VIRTVOL TSMB" shows they are now
  correctly marked for deletion and they will be deleted by
  EXPIRATION done on target server:
  
   VIRTUAL VOLUME: 2907
    HL=ADSM/TSMB.BFS.11111,  LL=BFS.OBJ.3,  objId=855351748,
    firstObjId=855351746
    objSize=27557,  numObjects=2,  when: 12:05:57 on 01-03-2013
    Marked For Delete: TRUE, when: 13:53:17 on 22-08-2013
    HL=ADSM/TSMB.BFS.11111,  LL=BFS.OBJ.4,  objId=855351749,
    firstObjId=855351746
    objSize=120850038,  numObjects=0,  when: 12:05:57 on
    01-03-2013
    Marked For Delete: TRUE, when: 13:53:17 on 22-08-2013
  
  Initial Impact: Medium

Local fix

• If space needs to be recovered on target server, run EXPIRE
  INVENTORY on target then RECONCILE VOLUME on source.
  Then run a new EXPIRE INVENTORY on target to remove the unneeded
  archive files.
