Error description
The Tivoli Storage Manager BACKUP NODE/NAS command with TOC=YES will pin the active log (recovery log) while generating the table-of-contents information into a temporary table. Busy servers can experience significant active log growth during NDMP backups because of this long running (pinned) transaction. This behavior can eventually lead to active log exhaustion, which can cause the server process to abort. Customer/L2 Diagnostics: None. Initial Impact: High Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: All V6 Tivoli Storage Manager server users Additional Keywords: TSM ACTIVE LOG PIN PINNED PINNING NDMP CONTENTS TOC ANR0130E NDMP.IMAGE.CONTENTS NDMP.NODES TEMP TEMPORARY TABLE MSGANR0130E
Local fix
Run BACKUP NODE/NAS without the TOC=yes parameter.
