IT24242: REPLICATED AND DECOMMISSIONED VM DOES NOT EXPIRE ON TARGET SERVER.

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

A Spectrum Protect Backup-Archive client node is replicated
to a target server. The node is used to back up VMs.
One or more VMs are decommissioned on both the source and
target servers. The VMs eventually expire from the source
server but remain on the target server.

Customer/L2 Diagnostics :
- The Operations Center shows the VM is decommissioned under the
  "At Risk" column for the target server.
- On the target server, the QUERY FILESPACE command also
  shows "Decommissioned: Yes".
- On the target server, a select command issued against the
  BACKUPS table shows all objects are inactive and past their
  expiration date.
- On the source server, the Query REPLServer command shows the
  target server Dissimilar Policies is set to OFF
  (or set to its default blank value).

Initial Impact: Medium
Additional Keywords: SP TSM

Versions Affected:
IBM Spectrum Protect server V7.1 and V8.1 and above, on all
platforms.
Only target servers which use similar policies are affected.
Target servers which use dissimilar policies are not affected.

Local fix

On the target server, run the DELETE FILESPACE command to
delete the filespace of the decommissioned VM that should
have been expired.
