Error description
The value of FILE_SIZE in the CONTENTS view of the Tivoli Storage Manager server's database may be smaller than the original size of the object which was backed up or archived from a client. This is observed when the client attribute SPLITLARGEObjects is set to Yes and the server splits large objects (over 10 GB) into smaller pieces when stored by a client node. A select query against the CONTENTS view returns the size of the first fragment only. For example, a query for the file size on a Windows filesystem returns: 26.03.2014 09:39 13735630611 example_file The select query for the 'example_file' in the CONTENTS view on the Tivoli Storage Manage server results in: FILE_SIZE: 10487247280 A restore or retrieve of the object returns the object with its original size. Tivoli Storage Manager versions affected: 7.1 on all platforms Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: tsm Split Large Objects
Local fix
Update the node attribute SPLITLARGEObjects on the Tivoli Storage Manager server to "No" before running backup/archive operations.
