Error description
If virtual volumes are configured in a manner that they loop, meaning the source server is also the target, backups sent to that device class cannot be restored. For example, consider you have a server device class named DBB_VIRTSRV and the server name is VIRT_SRV1. The 'query server VIRT_SRV1' output shows that the 'High-Level Address' is the same value (either TCP/IP address or UNC) that the Tivoli Storage Manager server is running on. Running a database backup to this device class will work successfully. Attempting to restore that backup will cause the server processing to try establishing a session with the target server. Since this points back to itself, the sessions will fail. Failure errors which can be received are ANR0334E and ANR0454E. The intended fix for this APAR will prevent the ability to take a database backup when the source and target server are the same. Versions Affected: All Tivoli Storage Manager Server versions Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: restoredb dsmserv
Local fix
Database backups should be created on media that does not require the machine/server being restore to be available, i.e a non-server type device class.
