IC73313: ANR1794W MESSAGE ORIGINATING FROM STORAGE AGENT MAY NOT BE LOGGED IN SERVER ACTLOG.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V5.5 Fix Pack 6 (5.5.6) Server Downloads

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The activity log and SAN Discovery are initialized in two
  separate threads. A timing window exists such that the SAN
  Discovery thread may initialize before the activity log is
  ready to log the ANR1794W message.
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics:
  Review the server activity log for timestamps of the ANR1794W
  message. For example :
  
  10:47:08  ANR1794W (session: XX, origin: AIX_STA)  TSM
            SAN discovery is disabled by options. (SESSION: XX)
  11:13:45  ANR1794W (session: XX, origin: AIX_STA)  TSM
            SAN discovery is disabled by options. (SESSION: XX)
  
  A storage agent trace (NACONFIG) will show when the ANR1794W
  message should have been logged. For example:
  
  10:47:08.815 [6][psdiscvr.c][310][psSanDiscovery]:SANDISCOVERY
  is set to OFF.
  10:50:35.857 [6][psdiscvr.c][310][psSanDiscovery]:SANDISCOVERY
  is set to OFF.
  11:09:03.684 [6][psdiscvr.c][310][psSanDiscovery]:SANDISCOVERY
  is set to OFF.
  11:13:45.157 [6][psdiscvr.c][310][psSanDiscovery]:SANDISCOVERY
  is set to OFF.
  
  In this above example, the ANR1794W message should have been
  logged at timestamps 10:50:35 and 11:09:03 but was not.
  
  
  TSM Versions Affected:
  Tivoli Storage Manager V5.4, v5.5, v6.1 and v6.2 on all
  supported platforms.
  
  
  Initial Impact: Low
