Error description
In cases where data which initially exists in a deduplicated pool, is moved out of that pool to another pool (deduped or not) and then is moved back into the original pool, invalidated links may result. The invalidated links will surface with the ANR4895E message which is issued when the files, that own the invalidated links, is attempted to be moved or copied. ANR4895E Deduplicated bitfile XXXXXXXXX on volume /xxxxx/xxxxx.bfs has invalid links. Any subsquent attempt to move, or copy, that file will result in a message indicating that the file(s) has been marked as damaged - ANR1165W. Customer/L2 Diagnostics (if applicable) If the data movement scenario, as described above, has been encountered, the VALIDATE EXTENTS utility can be used to proactively check for invalidated links. This utility will check for invalidated links, and if found, will mark the file(s) as damaged such that they can be restored from an available copy pool. VALIDATE EXTENTS <DEDUP POOL> ACTION=MARKDAMAGED NOTE: The trigger and symptom for this APAR is similar to IC82573 although the root cause is not related.
