    Review the vSnap log. This is showing a new snapshot was created
    and then a second later an older snapshot was deleted.

    This indicates that the catalog backup itself condensed out the
    snapshot before the replication runs. This results in the
    replication failure.

Problem conclusion

  • IBM Spectrum Protect Plus has been updated to improve its
    condense logic. Condense logic removes storage snapshots when
    their retention period expires. In prior releases each job type
    included exlcusive logic to handle this operation. This change
    leverages a centralized approach to condensing operations.
    Various job types now take advantage of a common set of
    operations to carry out condense. This maximizes operation
    consistency across various job types.
