IC97935: LANFREE BACKUPS MAY FAIL WITH ANR0530W ERRORS IF THE OBJECT SIZE IS CLOSE TO BUT UNDER THE AGGREGATION THRESHOLD

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

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Backups done through a storage agent may fail with ANR0530W
  Transaction failed for session 101 for node NODENAME (node type)
  - internal server error detected.This can happen when the
  estimated size of the object is below the threshold to be
  aggregated, but the addition of the metadata to the object
  raises the size to a point that it is eligible to be agregated.
  This conflict between the storage agent and the server causes
  the abort of the save of the obejct and generates the ANR0503W
  message.
