IC74269: ORPHANED TRANSACTIONS WITH OFFSITE RECLAMATION WHEN ANR1169W IS REPORTED

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

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An issue has been identified for the offsite reclamation process
  that might result in orphaned transactions.
  The symptom is seen when the copy for the attempted data
  movement is on DISK and a lock conflict is encountered:
  
  <date> <time>      ANR0538I A resource waiter has been aborted.
  <date> <time>      ANR1169W Lock conflict on movement of offsite
                      file - file is skipped. (PROCESS: 1033)
  
  These orphaned transactions could be holding exclusive locks on
  bitfiles which would then affect other processes trying to
  access those objects.
  If you see the symptoms of this APAR you need to recycle the
  Tivoli Storage manager server to free the locked resources.
  
    Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: all V6
    Initial Impact: Medium
    Additional Keywords: performance contention resource timeout
                         disk ZZ61 ZZ62
  

Local fix

• Increase the resource timeout so no lock conflict is detected or
  make sure all available copies for data movement are on a
  sequential volume.
