Error description

  • Moving data out of a deduplicated storage pool with either MOVE
    DATA or MOVE NODEDATA commands can cause data integrity issues
    if the RECONSTRUCT parameter is set to NO. Any data that had
    been linked in the deduplicated storage pool at the time of the
    move operation will be corrupted in the
    target pool. The following ANR9999D message is one symptom of
    this issue:
    ANR9999D_XXXXXXXX BfGetBitfileExtents(bfaggrut.c:4298)
    Thread<598>: BFBE Entry not found for object BITFILE_ID
    (SESSION: SESSID)
    ANR9999D_XXXXXXXX bfRtrv(bfrtrv.c:982) Thread<598>:
    Total size of extents (EXTENT_ID) doesn't match original
    size (SIZE) for object (BITFILE_ID2) in super bitfile
    (SUPERBITFILE_ID) (SESSION: SESSID)
    ANR0546W Retrieve or restore failed for session SESSID for
    node NODENAME - internal server error detected.
    (SESSION: SESSID)
    Another symptom of this problem is that occupancy numbers for
    the node(s) that were moved will be invalid which will be
    evident from Q OCCupancy output or messages issued to the
    activity log. The symptoms may vary depending upon the operation
    that attempts to access these files and the extent of the
    corruption. The overall theme is that there will be some missing
    parts to the bitfile which in most cases will be a missing
    extent.
