Error description

• On IBM Spectrum Protect 8.1.15, when using MOVE CONTAINER on a
  cloud container in a storage pool with cloud data lock enabled,
  the new container will not have a cloud lock expiration date
  recorded for the new container. This will lead to the data lock
  eventually expiring and not being extended if there are valid
  extents remaining in the container.
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics:
  After using MOVE CONTAINER, viewing the Cloud Lock Expiration
  field of QUERY CONTAINER will show no date in the column. If the
  Cloud Data Lock is enabled for the storage pool there should be
  a date recorded in this field.
  
  IBM Spectrum Protect Versions Affected: 8.1.15
  
  Initial Impact:
  MOVE CONTAINER will create a new container and when that
  container is sent to the object storage it will be uploaded with
  a lock expiration date. However, since that date is not recorded
  in the database, IBM Spectrum Protect will not continue to
  increase the lock date if there are still valid extents
  remaining in the container. This will lead to the container
  eventually becoming unlocked. When a container is not protected
  by the lock on the object storage, the object could be modified
  or deleted by a third party.
