Error description

• Starting with IBM Storage Protect Server version 8.1.13, the
  replication storage rule feature was available.
  When the IBM Storage Protect Server replication storage rule
  does not complete successfully, the involved encrypted container
  storage pool on the IBM Storage Protect target replication
  server may show the "Pct Encrypted" less than 100% as seen from
  the output of the command "QUERY STGPOOL <poolname> F=D".
  
  
  
  The following conditions must be present for this APAR to
  apply:
  1. The replication storage rule does not complete successfully.
  
  Symptoms include "ended with a failure", "getting hung", "being
  cancelled", or any other situation except a successful end.
  
  Even if the replication method is switched back to REPLICATE
  NODE later, as long as the replication storage rule was used and
  not completed successfully once, this issue may be encountered.
  
  2. When running following db2 command on target replication
  server, it returns count>0:
       db2 "select count_big as count from
  tsmdb1.sd_chunk_locations where poolid=<pool_id> and cntrid=0
  and length>0 and bitand(flags, 1)>0 for read only with ur"
  
  3. When running SHOW UNRESOLVEDCHUNKS command via the IBM
  Storage Protect administrative client (dsmadmc) on the target
  replication server, there are state 3 chunks found, for example:
  
             State: Failed (3)
       Chunk Count: 270894
        Total Size: 531318468616
  
  
  This APAR affects both directory-container storage pools and
  cloud-container storage pools.
  
  
  IBM Storage Protect versions affected:
  IBM Storage Protect server version 8.1.13.000 and later on all
  supported platforms
