Error description
After a change of the Tivoli Storage Manager server LBPROTECT option, the server might report ' Incompatible continuation volume' messages and fail data movement or client backup operations. The following message sequence is seen during reclamation after changing LBPROTECT from NO to WRITEONLY: ANR8337I LTO volume <VOL001L5> mounted in drive DRIVE1 (/dev/DRIVE1_f0). ANR9001W Volume <VOL001L5> does not have logical block protection. ANR0513I Process 5 opened output volume <VOL001L5>. .. ANR8341I End-of-volume reached for LTO volume <VOL001L5>. ANR0515I Process 5 closed volume <VOL001L5>. .. ANR0408I Session 1526 started for server <SERVER> (AIX) (Tcp/Ip) for library sharing. ANR0409I Session 1526 ended for server <SERVER> (AIX). ANR0408I Session 1528 started for server <SERVER> (AIX) (Tcp/Ip) for library sharing. ANR8336I Verifying label of LTO volume <VOL001L5> in drive DRIVE1 (/dev/DRIVE1_f0). ANR0409I Session 1528 ended for server <SERVER> (AIX). ANR8337I LTO volume <VOL002L5> mounted in drive DRIVE2 (/dev/DRIVE2_f5). ANR1340I Scratch volume <VOL002L5> is now defined in storage pool <SOMEPOOL>. ANR0513I Process 5 opened output volume <VOL002L5>.

In the above example, the message is caused after a filling volume with LBP=off (ANR9001W) becomes full and the Tivoli Storage Manager attempts to "span" a file to a new volume with LBP=on (scratch volume as per ANR1340I). The process fails and rolls back any transactions causing the "Full Volume" to go back to Filling Status. When the process (or session) restarts it will always end in this loop and no data will be moved. Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: 6.2.4 6.3.1 Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: CRC TSM IC78808 ] MDVPARTL 6.2.4.0 5698ISMSV ] ] MDVPARTL 6.3.1.0 5698ISMSV ]
Local fix
update all volumes in the affected storage pool with status filling to readonly before changing the LBPROTECT option: UPDate Volume * ACCess=READOnly WHEREDEVclass=<DEVC> WHERESTatus=FILling
