Error description

  • After issuing the cancel process for a Tivoli Storage Manager
    Server database backup the following behavior is observed:
    1. Query process will show "Cancel pending", and eventually
       the cancel will complete.
    2. After the cancel process has completed the cancellation of
       the database backup, the QUERY SESSION will still show
       associated shared memory sessions.
    3. The CANCEL SESSION command will report the following error:
          tsm: SERVER1>cancel session 41
          ANR0491I No matching session(s) found to cancel.
          ANS8001I Return code 11.
    4. QUERY SESSION will show the orphaned sessions indefinitely
       until the Tivoli Storage Manager is restarted.
    .
    Initial Impact: LOW
    .
    Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
    All supported versions.
    .
    Additional Keywords:
    cancel backup session database DB orphaned
    .
    

Local fix

  • The orphaned sessions are an annoyance that do not have a
    negative impact on the performance of the server. Restarting the
    server will cleanup the orphaned sessions.
