Error description

• The "Date of Last Protection to Local Pool" for
  directory-container storage pool in the QUERY STGPOOL command
  output  might not be refreshed correctly
  at the end of a successful execution of a "PROTECT STGPOOL
  ..TYPE=LOCAL" process, in scenario where the server has a
  defined server definition for itself.
  
  
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics:
  When the PROTECT STGPOOL process ends, "the last protect time of
  stgpool" is updated.
  For local protect, the field "Date of Last Protection to Local
  Pool" is updated while for remote protect, the "Date of Last
  Protection to Remote Pool" field will be refreshed.
  In case where the instance has a server definition for the
  instance itself, this will return a non-zero serverID for the
  servername of the local server, which results in "Date of Last
  Protection to Remote Pool" gets updated instead of "Date of Last
  Protection to Local Pool".
  (Note: the serverID is intended only for internal usage
  and not visible from the SP server command line queries)
  
  
  
  
  IBM Spectrum Protect versions affected:
  Server 7.1.3.x and 8.1.x on supported platforms
  
  
  
  
  Initial Impact:
  Medium
  
  
  
  Additional Keywords:
  TSM "Spectrum Protect" #TS003141500 " "Date of Last Protection
  to Local Pool" not updated
  

Local fix

• Delete the server definition for itself whenever possible.
