Closed as program error.
Error description
IBM Spectrum Protect Space Management (HSM) Client may ignore ANS9513E error caused by a temporary IBM Spectrum Scale (former GPFS) error during a file premigration ("dsmmigrate -p" command). As a result, the premigration succeeds. However, the affected file stays 'resident'. The file and its content can still be accessed. Also, all subsequent tries to (pre)migrate the same file are failing due to: ANS1228E Sending of object 'file' failed. ANS9256E File 'file' is currently opened by another process. Customer / Support Diagnostics: Environment: LTFS EE 1.3.0.5 (+ dsmmigrate efix for APAR IT29293) HSM 8.1.7.0 (bundled in LTFS EE package) GPFS 5.0.3.3, RHEL 7.5 x86_64 Issue can be seen in all Scale environments. - Check whether file is resident, migrated or premigrated using the HSM dsmls command; - Check whether the resident file has both the IBMPMig and the IBMObj attributes and the GPFS DMAPI manager regions set at the same time using the GPFS mmlsattr command like: mmlsattr -d -L <file> | grep -i IBMPMig mmlsattr -d -L <file> | grep IBMObj mmlsattr -d -L <file> | grep gpfs.dmapi.region - If these attributes are set, then this means customer is facing this issue. Initial impact: Medium Versions affected: All HSM 7.1.x and 8.1.x versions on all supported platforms Additional keywords: 01660,6V1,760 LTFS LTFSEE HSM GPFS Spectrum Archive Spectrum Scale
Local fix
To recover the affected file, i.e. to clean up its inconsistent HSM DMAPI attributes, make a copy of the affected file, unlink the original file and rename the copy to the original name.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * IBM Spectrum Protect for Space Management (HSM) client * * versions 7.1.x and 8.1.x on AIX GPFS and Linux GPFS * * platforms. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * See ERROR DESCRIPTION. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Apply fixing level when available. This problem is projected * * to be fixed in HSM client levels 7.1.8.8, 8.1.9.1 and * * 8.1.10. Note that this is subject to change at the * * discretion of IBM. * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
After the fix, ANS9513E error will be honored by the dsmmigrate command. In particular, HSM premigration ('dsmmigrate -p' command) will be aborted due to a ANS9513E if there is an intermittent Spectrum Scale DMAPI issue during the premigration processing.
