    include: 1) out of space conditions; 2) locking situations; 3)
    performance issues; 4) containers in states other than
    Available.
    
    DIAGNOSTICS:
    
    The server activity log will show the ANR09841 message below
    being issued frequently :

Local fix

  • setopt DEFRAGCNTRTRIGGER 90
    setopt DEFRAGFSTRIGGER 95
    
    This problem is fixed in 8.1.6 where the default
    DEFRAGCNTRTRIGGER and DEFRAGFSTRIGGER values have been updated.
    These values should not be changed unless explicitly stated to
    by IBM Spectrum Protect support. After upgrade to 8.1.6 any
    DEFRAGCNTRTRIGGER and DEFRAGFSTRIGGER options in the server
    options file should be removed.
