Error description

  • When issuing a 'DELETE FILESPACE' command for a filespace that
    contains data in a deduplicaion storage pool and includes a high
    number of very large files, the TSM server may exhibit a high
    amount of memory utilization.  Under these conditions, the
    'DELETE FILESPACE' process performance is severely degraded  as
    well potential memory paging issues that could cause further
    issues.  This is caused by areas of the dedupe processing that
    make calls for an in-memory list that is built during deletion
    processing.  At end transaction this list is added to a table
    that is then subsequently deleted by other backend server
    threads.  The current group size used for transaction in this
    processing can become prohibitive under the conditions.
