APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• There is a timing window in the IBM Spectrum Protect server that
  can result in the following messages being reported upon
  fragment deletion from a disk storage pool:
  ANR9999D_0383170029 BvAddBitParticipation(bvtxn.c:388) Thr
  ead<242>: Incompatible txn type 4 to add txnType BvTxnBit s.
  ANR9999D_4080383722 DeallocRange(dsalloc.c:4005) Thread<24 2>:
  Error 9975 deallocating free map bits for volume id 121029.
  ANR9999D_3714899315 DfDeallocSegments(dferase.c:1566) Thre
  ad<242>: ssDealloc failed, rc=9975 messages.
  
  This will only be seen on a restart of the server and only for
  the case where a file with fragments was deleted for some reason
  or migrated to another storage pool and the server was restarted
  before the background thread performing the fragment deletion
  finishes or that thread has an error on the deletion.
  
    IBM Spectrum Protect Versions Affected: all supported
    Initial Impact: Low
    Additional Keywords: TSM fragments
  

Local fix

• Set SPLITLARGEOBJECTS to NO for each of the nodes or don't back
  up objects larger than the MAXFRAGMENTSIZE setting to a disk
  storage pool
  
  You  might also ignore the warning message, however it might be
  reported again upon the next server start
