Error description

• The following recurrent IBM Storage Protect Server activity log
  warning is observed:
  
  ANR2992W The database uses <database space used> megabytes of
  file-system space.
  
  The amount of available file-system space is <database space
  available> megabytes.
  
  The ratio is <database file system used> ratio.
  
  When multiple storage paths for the IBM Storage Protect Server
  database volumes are defined
  
  to a single filesystem, the message ANR2992W is issued
  repeatedly because the free space is
  
  not considered from all storage paths, if these belong to the
  same filesystem.
  
  This situation does not cause any additional or incorrect
  dbspace consumption but causes
  the repeated message ANR2992W to be issued.
  
  To check if this APAR applies, this query can be used being the
  instance user:
  db2 connect to tsmdb1
  db2 "select * from table(ADMIN_GET_STORAGE_PATHS(null,-1))"
  
  From the produced output, check the FS_ID column.
  If there is more than one entry for an FS_ID then this APAR
  applies.
