Error description
At backup runtime, the value specified by the "snapshotcachesize" Client option when used in conjunction with the "include.image" option, will be ignored by the Tivoli Storage Manager Backup-Archive Client and a value of 100 (default percentage) will be used instead. For example, the following statement in the dsm.sys (Unix) file: include.image /client/filespace MC_NOTDEF snapshotcachesize=5 would be used to indicate that only 5% of the file system would be reserved to hold the snapshots. But in this case, the option "snapshotcachesize=5" will be ignored and 100% of the size of the file system (default size) would be used to hold the snapshots. Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: Tivoli Storage Manager Backup-Archive Client v.6.4, 7.1 and later on Unix Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: TSM Backup Archive B/A Client "include.image" snapshotcachesize 100 default
Local fix
Specify the intended size for the "snapshotcachesize"option using the Tivoli Storage Manager B/A Client Command Line (dsmc). For example: dsmc backup image -snapshotcachesize=5 /client/filespace
