Error description
There is a very small timing window near the end of backup database processing in which a second backup database process can start. If this should occur it is possible for the second of the two processes to end up with an invalid pointer at startup resulting in a segmentation fault in IcInsertCtlItem. The following is the stack trace at the time of a failure: pthdb_session.c, 833: 0 PTHDB_INTERNAL (internal error) pthreaded.c, 1953: PTHDB_INTERNAL (internal error) IcInsertCtlItem(??) at 0x1003247f8 icStartBackup(??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??) at 0x10062dba0 AdmBackupDb(??) at 0x10093d778 AdmCommandLocal(??, ??, ??, ??, ??) at 0x100175cdc admCommand(??, ??, ??, ??, ??) at 0x100174348 SmExecScheduledCommand(??) at 0x1005f6cd4 smScheduledConsoleSession(??) at 0x1005f6994 CsRunCmdThread(??) at 0x1005f5fcc StartThread(??) at 0x100009bb0 Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: 6.1 and 6.2 Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: db backups core zz61 zz62
Local fix
Ensure scheduled database backups are scheduled to start far enough apart to avoid any overlap.
