APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The server can be started in maintenance mode using the
  following command:
  
  DSMSERV maintenance
  
  If the server is successfully started in maintenance mode, this
  is indicated by the following message during server startup:
  
  ANR3415I The server is in maintenance mode.
  
  Maintenance mode is used to avoid disruptions during maintenance
  and reconfiguration tasks, and the following operations are
  disabled:
  
  Administrative command schedules
  Client schedules
  Reclamation of storage space on the server
  Inventory expiration
  Migration of storage pools
  Client sessions
  
  In addition to the above, starting the IBM Spectrum Protect
  server in maintenance mode should also prevent servermon process
  from automatically starting during server initialization.
  However, this is not the case.
  
  This APAR is to address checking an additional flag during
  startup to prevent servermon from starting in maintenance mode.
  The IBM Docs page for starting the server in maintenance mode
  will also be updated to add servermon to the list of operations
  that are disabled in maintenance mode.
  
  IBM Spectrum Protect / Protect Plus Versions Affected: IBM
  Spectrum Protect server V8.1 on all supported platforms.
