APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Starting with the Operations Center 8.1.7, the Back-end page
  includes 2 values, "Backup Capacity" and "Archive Capacity" for
  each hub and spoke server defined in the OC.
  "Backup Usage" is the total "Backup Capacity" of all servers.
  "Archive Usage" is the total "Archive Capacity" of all servers.
  
  In order to get the total SUR occupancy, user will need to add
  the 2 values "Backup Usage" and "Archive Usage".
  
  However, there is a problem with the calculation where the
  "Backup Capacity" is including some archive data  that is in the
  primary storage pools on tape and virtual tape libraries. As a
  result, this archive data is counted twice if the user adds
  "Backup Usage" and "Archive Usage" together.
  
  The problem will be fixed such that the "Backup Capacity" will
  not include this archive data.
  
  
  Spectrum Protect Versions Affected: 8.1.7 and later.
  
  
  Initial Impact:: Medium

Local fix

• This statement will calculate the correct Total Back-End usage.
   The result is in Terabyte unit.
  Run from the server command line (dsmadmc or OC command
  builder):
  
  SELECT
  decimal(round((sur.bytes+ret.bytes)/1099511627776.00,2),31,2) AS
   TOTAL_SUROCC_TB FROM summary sur LEFT OUTER JOIN summary ret ON
   (ret.activity='SUR_RET_OCCUPANCY' AND
  ret.start_time=sur.start_time) WHERE
  sur.activity='SUR_OCCUPANCY' ORDER BY sur.start_time DESC
  OPTIMIZE FOR 1 ROWS fetch first row only
