Resolving storage pool issues

Storage pools are integral to a successful server operation. The IBM Storage Protect database contains information in storage pools about registered client nodes, policies, schedules, and the client data.

This information must be available and valid in order for IBM Storage Protect to function correctly. Storage pool errors can be related to the following issues:
  • Failed transactions
  • A storage pool experiencing a high volume usage after increasing the MAXSCRATCH value
  • A storage pool having Collocate?=Yes but volumes still containing data for many nodes
  • Unable to store data in an active data pool by using the simultaneous-write function or by issuing the COPY ACTIVEDATA command
