Error description

  • Error Description:
    
    On an IBM Spectrum Protect server, automatic MOVE CONTAINER
    processes are triggered in order to perform defragmentation
    within a directory container storage pool.  This can end in
    warning, but no explanation why.
    
    Example :
    
    10/10/2017 07:57:44      ANR0986I Process 302 for Move Container
    (Automatic) running in the BACKGROUND
    processed 111,766 items for a total of 10,737,262,592 bytes with
    a completion state of WARNING at 07:57:44. (PROCESS: 302)
    
    10/10/2017 07:57:44      ANR1892W Process 302 for Move Container
    (Automatic) completed with a completion
     state of SUCCESS but  warning or more-severe messages were
    issued. (PROCESS: 302)
    
    10/10/2017 07:57:46      ANR0986I Process 303 for Move Container
    (Automatic) running in the BACKGROUND
    processed 95,473 items for a total of 10,737,205,248 bytes with
    a completion state of WARNING  at 07:57:46. (PROCESS: 303)
    
    10/10/2017 07:57:46      ANR1892W Process 303 for Move Container
    (Automatic) completed with a completion
    state of SUCCESS but  warning or more-severe messages were
    issued. (PROCESS: 303)
    
    10/10/2017 07:57:46      ANR4393I CONTAINER DEFRAGMENTATION
    finished reclaiming 0 bytes of unused
    space on 0 containers in stgpool MYCONTAINERPOOL.  (PROCESS:
    304)
    
    This APAR is taken so we can externalize the reason why the
    "move container" process is ending with a warning.
    
    This affects directory container pools only.
