IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

FMV5286I

The VSS Instant Restore operation was successful but some existing VSS snapshots have been deleted by the VSS provider.

Explanation

A successful VSS Instant Restore operation was performed for snapshot volumes that were in a dependent relationship. In order for the restore process to succeed, it was necessary to remove the snapshot volumes causing the dependency. Those snapshot volumes typically represent newer snapshot backups. This forced TSM to remove the backups that included the deleted snapshots. This situation is typical when using SAN Volume Controller (SVC) space-efficient volumes that have multiple snapshots.
