Troubleshooting


Problem

After a power shutdown, the TSM server can no longer run schedules

Cause

Missing storage pool volume

Resolving The Problem

After a power shutdown, the TSM server can no longer run schedules. And the following errors shown in the Activity Log:

ANR2579E Schedule <schedule_name> in domain <domain_name> for node <node_name> failed (return code 12). (SESSION: xxx)
ANR2752E Scheduled command DAILY_MAINTENANCE failed. (SESSION: xxx, PROCESS: xx)

Also the Activity Log shows the following errors:



ANR9999D pspvrfio.c(251): ThreadId<43> Open error on file <drive_path_file_name.BFS> with LastError = 3 (SESSION: XXX, PROCESS: YY)
ANR9999D ThreadId<43> issued message 9999 from: (SESSION: XXX, PROCESS: YY)
ANR8501E System return code 6 received opening volume <drive_path_file_name.BFS> with file name <drive_path_file_name.BFS> (SESSION: XXX, PROCESS: YY)
ANR1401W Mount request denied for volume <drive_path_file_name.BFS> - mount failed. (SESSION: XXX, PROCESS: YY)

The cause is that the volume specified by <drive_path_file_name.BFS> is a storage pool volume, and the drive which it resides on is a SAN drive and was lost after the power failure.

Restore the missing drive and recover the storage pool volume resolved the problem.
