ANR1163W
Offsite volume volume name still contains files which could not be moved.

Explanation

During processing of a MOVE DATA command or reclamation, the server determined that the indicated offsite volume contained one or more files that could not be moved. One or more files could not be copied from the other available volumes.

The server might not move some files if the storage pool is collocated and the volume being moved or reclaimed contains files that require different output volumes. The server will skip these files and no messages are issued identifying the skipped files. The files are skipped to honor the collocation attribute of the storage pool.

If the files in the storage pool are deduplicated, they could be skipped due to the unavailability of an on-site copy. This can occur if the file has been logically deleted from all other storage pools due to either policy retention settings, or explicit deletion, but must remain in the offsite storage pool due to deduplication dependencies.

System action

None.

User response

Check for messages that indicate why files could not be moved. To complete the move operation, you have several options:
  • Bring the volume back on-site and reissue a MOVE DATA command to reclaim the volume. If the storage pool is deduplicated and all primary storage pool volumes are available, this is the recommended solution.
  • Make the primary volumes available and reissue a MOVE DATA command to reclaim the volume.
  • Delete the files by using the DELETE VOLUME command.

If the server is skipping files to honor the collocation attribute of the storage pool, run the MOVE DATA command, or wait until reclamation runs again. In either case, the server will move files to the appropriate output volumes until the volume being moved or reclaimed is empty. It might take more than one attempt to totally empty the volume.
