IT45948: INCORRECT ACSLS LIBRARY DAEMON FILES INCLUDED IN IBM SPECTRUM PROTECT DEVICE DRIVER PACKAGE FOR LINUX S390X PLATFORM

8.1.23.000-IBM-SPSRV-WindowsX64
8.1.23.000-IBM-SPSRV-Linuxx86_64
8.1.23.000-IBM-SPSRV-Linuxs390x

8.1.23.000-IBM-SPSRV-AIX

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Linux s390x is a 64bit architecture for zSeries. Running an
  ACSLS library on Linux s390x requires therefore the 64bit ACSLS
  library daemon files (ssi, mini_el and others) as well.
  However, currently these daemon files shipped with the IBM
  Spectrum Protect device driver package are in 32bit mode.
  To verify the bit mode of these daemon files, the file command
  can be used.
  
  
  Here the info from the current device driver package:
  
  
  file /opt/tivoli/tsm/devices/bin/ssi
  /opt/tivoli/tsm/devices/bin/ssi: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, IBM
  S/390, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs),
  for GNU/Linux 2.2.10, not stripped
  file /opt/tivoli/tsm/devices/bin/mini_el
  /opt/tivoli/tsm/devices/bin/mini_el: ELF 32-bit MSB executable,
  IBM S/390, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared
  libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.10, not stripped
  file /opt/tivoli/tsm/devices/bin/t_parent
  /opt/tivoli/tsm/devices/bin/t_parent: ELF 32-bit MSB executable,
  IBM S/390, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared
  libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.10, not stripped
  
  
  IBM Spectrum Protect Versions Affected:
  
  All IBM Spectrum Protect server versions on Linux s390x.

  Protect", TS015835124, ACSLS
  

Local fix

• Contact IBM Support to obtain correct device driver binaries for
  s390x 64-bit architecture
