IT33432: "UNKNOWN LVALUE 'WANTEDBY' IN SECTION 'INSTALL'" OUTPUT IN LINUXSYSTEM LOG AFTER OPERATION CENTER UPGRADE TO 8.1.10.000

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After the upgrade to version 8.1.10.000, the IBM Spectrum
  Protect Operations Center service may have an incorrect entry
  in the Linux systemctl causing the following errors to be logged
  into the OS system log:
  
  
  Jun 23 16:48:55 tsmsrv1 systemd[1]: Reloading.
  Jun 23 16:48:55 tsmsrv1 systemd[1]:
  [/etc/systemd/system/opscenter.service:12] Unknown lvalue
  'Wantedby' in section 'Install'
  
  
  The above messages are considered harmless and despite these,
  the Operations Center component will work properly.
  
  
  
  
  IBM Spectrum Protect versions affected:
  IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center 8.1.10 on supported Linux
  OS platforms  (which have systemctl installed)
  | MDVREGR 8.1.10-TIV_5608E01UI |
  
  
  
  
  Initial Impact:
  Low
  
  
  
  
  Additional Keywords:
  TSM "Spectrum Protect" #TS003848466 systemd "unknown ivalue" OC
  service
  

Local fix

• The following steps can be used to bypass this behavior:
  
  1.  cd /etc/systemd/system
  2.  vi opscenter.service
  note: This command will display the service config details (here
  the default path names are used):
  
  [Unit]
  Description=IBM Spectrum Protect Operation Center Services
  
  [Service]
  Type=oneshot
  RemainAfterExit=true
  ExecStart=/opt/tivoli/tsm/ui/Liberty/bin/opscenter.rc start
  ExecStop=/opt/tivoli/tsm/ui/Liberty/bin/opscenter.rc stop
  ExecReload=/opt/tivoli/tsm/ui/Liberty/bin/opscenter.rc restart
  
  [Install]
  [Service]
  Wantedby=multi-user.target
  
  
  4.  Remove [Service] from [Install] section
  
  5.  Make sure the file looks like this (Example with the default
  path names) :
  
  [Unit]
  Description=IBM Spectrum Protect Operation Center Services
  
  [Service]
  Type=oneshot
  RemainAfterExit=true
  ExecStart=/opt/tivoli/tsm/ui/Liberty/bin/opscenter.rc start
  ExecStop=/opt/tivoli/tsm/ui/Liberty/bin/opscenter.rc stop
  ExecReload=/opt/tivoli/tsm/ui/Liberty/bin/opscenter.rc restart
  
  [Install]
  Wantedby=multi-user.target
  
  
  OR, depending by the Linux OS/Distribution, the keyword
  'Wantedby' should be written with a 'B' (uppercase B) like this:
  
  [Unit]
  Description=IBM Spectrum Protect Operation Center Services
  
  [Service]
  Type=oneshot
  RemainAfterExit=true
  ExecStart=/opt/tivoli/tsm/ui/Liberty/bin/opscenter.rc start
  ExecStop=/opt/tivoli/tsm/ui/Liberty/bin/opscenter.rc stop
  ExecReload=/opt/tivoli/tsm/ui/Liberty/bin/opscenter.rc restart
  
  [Install]
  WantedBy=multi-user.target
  
  
  6.  Save the file
  
  7.  Run the command:  systemctl daemon-reload
