Error description

• An IBM Spectrum Protect (Tivoli Storage Manager) Server can
  report an invalid value for Logical Space Occupied via the QUERY
  OCCUPANCY command for nodes storing data in directory-container
  storage pools.
  
  Users may notice that the total Logical Space Occupied value is
  larger than it should be, and is most noticeable when the node
  is not tracking any backup/archive data at all (all files have
  been expired).
  
  This is only a reporting issue with QUERY OCCUPANCY/SELECT FROM
  OCCUPANCY.  The inflated occupancy value does not impact storage
  pool utilization or reporting.
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics:
  None.
  
  Initial Impact:
  Medium
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
  All 7.1.3.000+ IBM Spectrum Protect Server users of directory-
  container storage pools.
  
  Additional Keywords:
  TSM DIRECTORY CONTAINER DEDUP DEDUPLICATION STORAGE POOL OCC
  OCCUPANCY LOGICAL SPACE OCCUPIED QUERY Q SELECT LOGICAL SPACE
  

Local fix

• Utilize the directory-container pool deduplication reporting
  facility (7.1.3.000+) via the GENERATE DEDUPSTATS and QUERY
  DEDUPSTATS administrative commands.  The "Total Data Protect
  (MB)" field generated by this output is analogous to "Logical
  Space Occupied (MB)" reported by QUERY OCCUPANCY, but is not
  affected by the issue described by this APAR.
