Note: APAR IT12468 matches this APAR but for VMware vSAN environments. While APAR IT12468 provides a testflag for a local fix, that testflag will not work in this case. Initial impact: Medium Products affected: IBM Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments: Data Protection for VMware version 8.1.0 on Windows and Linux platforms This problem also affects IBM Spectrum Protect Backup-Archive Client which is the data mover for Data Protection for VMware 7.1. If you are using Data Protection for VMware 7.1 refer to APAR IT20613.
