IT24148: IBM SPECTRUM PROTECT FOR SPACE MANAGEMENT CLIENT CAN ABORT RECALLS AND RECYCLE THE RECALL DAEMON SERVICES

IBM Spectrum Protect for Space Management 8.1 Interim Fix Downloads

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In case of high recall and transparent recall workload, it is
  possible that the watch daemon cannot contact the recall daemon
  due to delays from GPFS DMAPI calls. This causes the watch
  daemon to recycle the existent recall daemons and this aborts
  the current recalls and the following message in the
  dsmerror.log: "ANS2254E dsmrecalld with session id <SESS_ID>
  aborted recall for token <TOKEN_ID>. ERRNO 13".
  
  Affected versions:
  Unix HSM 7.1.x and 8.1.x versions
