Error description

  • If there are damaged chunks that do not have a valid copy,
    REPAIR STGPOOL might report 0 repaired extents, but still ends
    in success.
    The following example is for a repair attempted from a local
    protect target copy pool.
    
    Q DAMAGED STGPOOLNAME TYPE=N
    might report damaged objects as with the following example:
    ANR4675W QUERY DAMAGED: This command may take a while to finish.
    
    Node Name                     Number of Damaged
                                               Files
    -------------------------     ------------------
    <NODENAME>                                     3
    
    If no valid copies for the damaged chunks are found, "REPAIR
    STGPOOL <POOLNAME> TARGE=LOCAL" reports something like:
    
    ANR4982I The repair storage pool process for <DAMAGEDPOOL> on
    server <SERVER1> from <PROTECTTARGET> on server <SERVER1> is
    complete. Extents repaired: 0 of 0. Extents
    failed: 0. Extents skipped: 0. Amount repaired: 0 bytes of 0
    bytes. Amount failed: 0 bytes. Amount skipped: 0 bytes. Elapsed
    time: 0 Days, 0 Hours, 0 Minutes.
    ANR0985I Process 167 for Repair Stgpool running in the
    FOREGROUND completed with completion state SUCCESS at 11:56:02.
    
    This can be confusing and the messages should indicate if there
    are damaged extents that do not have a valid copy so
    administrators can react accordingly.
