Error description
If the IMEXP trace class is enabled and tracing is active on a server with no nodes defined to it (i.e. a library manager server used only for library management) then the IBM Spectrum Protect server will crash with an ACCESS VIOLATION when expire inventory runs. Note that even with no nodes defined expire inventory still processes expiration of other server resources like volume history entries and recovery plan files. In reporting customer case no stack trace was generate in any log files. Only failure details was an ACCESS VIOLATION occurred Dump analysis showed the following stack trace: #0 TraceCtlDesc (ctlP=0x7f9816084e98, expToo=True, mutexHeld=True, getMutex=False, showNodeList=True) at imdmgr.c:6938 #1 0x0000000000bd2e11 in StartExpiration (ctlP=0x7f9816084e98, cmdP=0x7f9816dc8558 "EXPIRE INVENTORY") at imdmgr.c:2065 #2 0x0000000000bd1dfe in imStartExpiration (cmdP=0x7f9816dc83f0) at imdmgr.c:1573 #3 0x000000000052d23a in AdmUseExtCmdTab (cmdP=0x7f9816dc83f0) at admxcmd.c:1189 #4 0x000000000059ce07 in AdmCommandLocal (cmdP=0x7f9816dc83f0, cmdMode=admAnyCmd, impliedCommit=True, confirmReq=False, validateOnly=False) at admcmd.c:2701 #5 0x000000000059c0c5 in admCommand (cmdP=0x7f9816dc83f0, cmdMode=admAnyCmd, impliedCommit=True, confirmReq=False, validateOnly=False) at admcmd.c:2372 #6 0x00000000011ba578 in SmExecuteCommand (blockP=0x7f9817515808) at smlcons.c:663 #7 0x00000000011ba184 in SmLocalConsoleSession (nullPtr=0x0) at smlcons.c:550 #8 0x000000000165a851 in StartThread (startInfoP=0x0) at pkthread.c:4016 #9 0x000000360b607aa1 in start_thread () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 #10 0x000000360b2e8bcd in clone () from /lib64/libc.so.6 IBM Spectrum Protect Versions Affected: 8.1 Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords TSM
