Error description

  • 'AUDIT VOLUME <volume name> fix=yes' should fix this hdr size
    inconsisances, but failed for certain (non-aggregated) bitfiles.
    Audit will try to find the superfile info for the file, if
    can't, it will set bitfile length to 0 and will bypass some
    checking later, including hdr size. A non-aggregated bitfiles is
    stored as single file and doesn't has a superfile.
    
    Customer/L2 Diagnostics:
    The inconsisance was found by application (Content Manager
    OnDemand), that restores / retrieves objects partially by offset
    and lengh specification.
    
    
    TSM Server Versions Affected:
    5.5.5
    
    Initial Impact:
    Medium
