RECONCILE VOLUMES (Reconcile differences in the virtual volume definitions)
Issue this command from the source server to reconcile differences between virtual volume definitions on the source server and archive files on the target server. IBM Spectrum Protect™ finds all volumes of the specified device class on the source server and all corresponding archive files on the target server. The target server inventory is also compared to the local definition for virtual volumes to see if inconsistencies exist.
Privilege class
To issue this command, you must have system privilege.

Parameters
- device_class_name
- Specifies the device class name of the virtual volumes. If you do not specify a name, IBM Spectrum Protect reconciles all virtual volumes. This parameter is optional.
- FIX
- Specifies whether or not IBM
Spectrum Protect attempts
to correct any identified inconsistencies. This parameter is optional.
The default is NO. Possible values are:
- No
- Specifies that IBM Spectrum Protect does not fix any inconsistencies.
- Yes
- Specifies that IBM
Spectrum Protect makes the
following corrections:
- IBM Spectrum Protect marks as unavailable storage pool volumes on the source server that cannot be located on the target server. Volumes that are only found in the volume history, such as database backups and import and export volumes, are reported as being inconsistent.
- Archive files on the target server that do not correspond to any virtual volumes on the source server are marked for deletion from the target server.
The following table shows the details of the actions taken:FIX= At the Source Server At the Target Server Action NO Volumes exist No files exist Report error Files exist but are marked for deletion Active files exist but attributes do not match Volumes do not exist Active files exist Report error Files exist but are marked for deletion None YES Volumes exist No files exist Report error Storage pool volumes: Marked as unavailable
Files exist but marked for deletion Report error Storage pool volumes: If attributes match, mark files on the target server as active again, mark volumes on the source server as unavailable, and recommend that an AUDIT VOLUME be done to verify the data. If attributes do not match, mark volumes as unavailable.
Active files exist but attributes do not match Report error Storage pool volumes: Mark as unavailable and recommend that an AUDIT VOLUME be done to verify the data.
Volumes do not exist Active files exist Mark files for deletion on the target server. Files exist but marked for deletion None
