Error description
In Tivoli Storage Manager server version 7.1.x the "ARCHLOGUSEDTHRESHOLD" option is recursively processing the "ARCHLOGDirectory" location to determine if the threshold has been exceeded and thus a database backup is required. This is not correct behavior because there will only be archive log files under: ARCHLOGDirectory/<DB2 instance name> For example on UNIX and Linux platforms, if using ARCHLOGDirectory /home/tsminst1/archlog it will be /home/tsminst1/archlog/tsminst1 In the above example, there might be a problem if the user running the Tivoli Storage Manager server does not have the permission to open directories underneath "/home/tsminst1/archlog/", for e.g. "/home/tsminst1/archlog/lost+found" However, as the log files will only be written to the directory defined as the ARCHLOGDirectory/<DB2 instance name>, there is no requirement to access the additional directory objects. The symptom might be seen on Windows platform, too, as Windows file systems may have a special directory "System Volume Information" similar to "lost+found" on UNIX. No error is seen in the activity log. The indicator is that space usage of archlogdirectory location has exceeded ARCHLOGUSEDTHRESHOLD percentage setting, when reviewing "q log f=d". Tivoli Storage Manager versions affected: Server 7.1 on all platforms Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: zz71 backup db database archive log space usage percentage
Local fix
Regularly run manual or scheduled database backups.
