  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Beginning with the introduction of Tivoli Storage Manager
    server version 7.1.1.000, the Server began leveraging a DB2
    technology to validate database pages during database backup
    operations.  Page validation is used to uncover structural
    corruption within the database.
    
    Under a set of known and unavoidable conditions, this page
    validation feature can fail to properly detect and report
    some bad pages within the database.  This is caused by DB2
    APAR IT09630.
    
    Customer/L2 Diagnostics:
    If structural database corruption is identified through
    diagnostics (see TechNote 1681275), but an ANR3260E error was
    not reported by the Tivoli Storage Manager server during
    database backups, then this APAR likely applies.
    
    Initial Impact:
    High
    
    Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
    All 7.1.1.000+ Tivoli Storage Manager servers.
