IBM Spectrum Protectâ„¢ Client 7.1.6 Downloads and READMEs

APAR status

• Closed as change to accomodate OEM Vendor's code.

Error description

• When using the Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments -
  VMware File restore UI,
  a Linux LVM mount point may show as VOLUME1, VOLUME2, VOLUME3,
  etc rather
  than the true mount point name.
  In this specific case the Linux volume group name and/or logical
  volume name contains a dash "-".
  Example:
  Volume Group  Logical Volume
  "LV-group"   "LV-Volume"
  The full path to the logical volume:
  /dev/LV-group/LV-Volume
  While the mount points show as VOLUME1, VOLUME2, data is able to
  be restored, but only to an
  alternate location.
  Initial impact: medium
  Platforms affected: Linux
  Versions affected: 6.4, 7.1.x
  

Local fix

• Restore the data to an alternate location.

Problem conclusion

• The Tivoli Storage Manager wasn't able to detect LVM volume
  group names or logical volume names if the name contained a
  dash. The problem happened due to the fact that after being
  mounted the dash character in the name turned into double dash.
  After applying the fix the Tivoli Storage for Virtual
  Environment will correctly detect and display LVM names with
  dashes.
