Unable to add spoke server to Operations Center - status table is missing

Troubleshooting


Problem

Trying to add a new spoke server to the Operations Center will fail with error: "ANRG0166E: The Operations Center cannot connect to the specified server"

Diagnosing The Problem

The activity log from the spoke server, related to the timeframe on which the operation to add the new spoke server has been executed, will show a specific error on a select ran for spoke server:


ANR1696E Server SPOKE attempted to process command ' SELECT' but encountered errors. (SESSION: 123456)
ANR1697I Command 'SELECT' processed by 1 server(s): 0 successful, 0 with warnings, and 1 with errors. (SESSION: 123456)

And into the spoke server's activity log, the following select is shown in error:

select * from status

ANR2939E The reference 'select * from status ' contains an unknown SQL table name.
ANS8001I Return code 28.

Instead, the QUERY STATUS executed on the spoke server will work fine:

ie.


tsm: SPOKE>q status

Storage Management Server for Linux/x86_64 - Version 7, Release 1, Level 7.0

Server Name: SPOKE

Server host name or IP address: spoke

Server TCP/IP port number: 1500

Crossdefine: Off
......

Resolving The Problem

Connect to TSMDB1 (the database of the spoke server) and set the database schema:

ie.


db2 connect to tsmdb1
db2 set schema tsminst1

Collect the output from DB2 select:

db2 "SELECT tabname FROM SYSCAT.TABLES order by tabname"

The output will show that the STATUS table is missing.

This table can be easily recreated by restarting the IBM Spectrum Protect server.
So halt the spoke server and restart it.
