DSM_RC_ABORT_ACTIVE_NOT_FOUND An active backup version could not be found.

Explanation

An attempt was made to expire an object, but the TSM server was unable to find an active backup version of the object. This message is preceded by message ANS1228E which specifies the object name. For instance, this message could be issued if two separate client processes are backing up the same file system at the same time. If one of the processes expires a file, then the TSM server will make that file inactive. If the second process subsequently attempts to expire that same file, the TSM server will not find an active version of the file, so the second process will issue this message for that file.

System action

The object is not expired. Processing continues with the next object.

User response

  • Review the console output, schedule log, or error log and locate the ANS1228E message that immediately precedes this message. ANS1228E will identify the object that could not be expired.
  • Examine the conditions under which the problem occurred and assess whether those conditions explain the occurrence of this message. For example, this message could appear if multiple instances of the client were attempting to back up the file system concurrently.
