Error description
Tivoli Storage Manager servers on AIX with libraries defined with RESETDrives=Yes can use two different methods to preempt a drive reservation. Persistent reserve Persistent reserve is used if all of the following 3 conditions are true: Persistent reserve is supported by the device Persistent reserve is enabled on the device driver Tivoil Storage Manager server is 6.3 or higher LUN reset If the conditions are not met for persistent reserve, the server completes a reset of the path to the target device. When LUN reset fails, the following error message will be recorded in the activity log: ANR8973E Device reset failed to break the reservation set by another system for device DRIVE1 with path /dev/rmt1. The server can fail device reset when dsmserv is running as a non root user (such as the DB2 instance user ID). The server should be updated to clearly indicate when permissions are not adequate for device reset and should provide recommendations for performing drive reset. Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: Tivoli Storage Manager server version 6.1 and above KEYWORDS: TSM IBM SPECTRUM PROTECT RESETDrives LUN reset
Local fix
