IT48471: OFFSITE SPACE RECLAMATION FAILS WITH ANR9999D_0222697149 BFTESTOFFSITEMOVEFILE ERRORS.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Space reclamation fails with following error messages.
  ANR9999D_0222697149 BfTestOffsiteMoveFile(bfcputil.c:1925-)
  Thread<130564>: Error 2857 getting alias information for bfId
  xxxxx.
  
  This issue arises after a copy storage rule is executed and the
  data is subsequently tiered into another pool. Although the
  primary pool copy
  is successfully tiered, the corresponding copy in the copypool
  remains intact. During offsite reclamation, the server detects
  the onsite copypool copy.
  
  However, this results in an invalid request, as the data in
  question is part of an SD copy aggregate.
  
  The QUERY CONTENT COPIED=NO command can be used on the volume
  that is being reclaimed. If that returns results, this APAR
  applies.
  
  For example:
  Protect: SERVER1>q content
  /home/tsminst1/server/tp_arch_prim/00000005.BFS copied=no
  Node Name           Type     Filespace      FSID     Retentio-

Local fix

• The messages 'ANR9999D' can be safely ignored, as the data will
  eventually expire from the copypool.
  Once expired, the volume can be reclaimed.
