Error description
The Tivoli Storage Manager server RECLAIMSTGPOOL option can be defined via the the DEFINE STGPOOL and UPDATE STGPOOL commands to specify an alternative primary storage pool as a target for reclaimed data. Attempting to use this option with sequential file storage pools can lead to operational failures with reclamation processing, particularly when the primary storage pool is deduplicated, but the target storage pool is not. In such a case, an administrator might witness an error similar to the following during reclamation: ANR9999D_0646289024 BfReconstruct(bfcreate.c:3678) Thread<911>: Internal error: Inter-pool copy of deleted bitfile 123456789 The server should prevent administrators from configuring sequential FILE storage pools with the RECLAIMSTGPOOL option. Customer/L2 Diagnostics: None. Initial Impact: Medium Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: All supported Tivoli Storage Manager servers. Additional Keywords: TSM RECLAIM RECLAMATION STGP STORAGE POOL STGPOOL ANR9999D MSGANR9999D INTERPOOL INTER-POOL INTERNAL ERROR
Local fix
Remove the RECLAIMSTGPOOL option from sequential file storage pools. For example: UPDATE STGP DEDUP RECLAIMSTGP=""
