Error description

  • After a database backup, the Tivoli Storage Manager server can
    record an invalid date/time for the database backup in the
    volume history.
    .
    The incorrect date will only affect the expiration and deletion
    of the volume.
    .
    Customer/L2 Diagnostics:
    QUERY VOLHIST/volume history file will show an invalid date for
    database backups.  For example:
    .
       Operation Date/Time:   2047/11/30 00:00:00
       Volume Type: BACKUPFULL
    .
    Initial Impact:
    Medium.
    .
    Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
    All 6.1.1.1 or higher Tivoli Storage Manager servers.
    .
    Additional Keywords:
    TSM ZZ61 VOLHIST DATABASE BACKUP VOLHIST SNAPSHOT 2047/11/30

    .
    MDVPARTL 6.1.2 IC61173
    .
    

Local fix

  • Code to correct invalid volhist dates was introduced via
    IC61173 at 6.1.1.1.  If an invalid volhist is discovered at
    6.1.1.1 or higher, recycle the dsmserv process to automatically
    correct the invalid dates.
