IC93062: RESTORE / RETRIEVE NOT POSSIBLE FROM TARGET REPLICATION SERVER

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V6.3 Fix Pack 5 (6.3.5.000) Server Downloads

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The Tivoli Storage Manager B/A Client cannot restore / retrieve
  data after a successful node replication to a target
  replication server, if the the following condition apply:
  
  - the source replication server is on version 6.3.3.000
  - the target replication server is on version 6.3.3.100
  
  Also an incremental backup to the target replication server is
  a full backup.
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics :
  Example from a trace taken on the target replication server
  with the trace flag REPL:
  
   [50][smrepl.c][6216][DoQueryFilespace]:
  fsName=\\server\c$ ﾘ  ﾘﾘﾘ , replStart=2013/05/23 07:54:18
   [41][smrepl.c][7072][DoQueryReplicated]:-1 unreplicated objects
  will be processed
  
  In the filespace name (fsName) is an inconsistency, as the trace
  shows, so the B/A client
  cannot see it for a restore and also a new incremental backup
  will run as a full backup.
  
  Here is an example how this would look like in a good condition:
  
   [50][smrepl.c][6216][DoQueryFilespace]: fsName=\\server\c$,
  replStart=2013/05/23 07:54:18
   [41][smrepl.c][7072][DoQueryReplicated]:-1 unreplicated objects
  will be processed
  
  The filespace name (fsName) does not contain strange characters
