Error description
Client backup/archive processing fails with server out of storage space condition when storing to a sequential storage pool with predefined volumes and migration from that pool is running. The TSM server places a lease on each input volume processed by migration. For predefined sequential volume this lease remains on the volume for the full time migration is running. These volumes with a lease on them cannot be used by other processes or sessions. This means tht volumes can become empty through migration processing but cannot be used until the process that emptied them completes. The leasing of these volumes should terminate when the last transaction returning them to an empty status completes. If/when backups occur to this this type of predefined sequential storage pool and a long running migration process begins, the storage pool could run out of space as the remaining free space in the pool is filled and the empty volumes remain leased by the migration process. TSM Versions Affected: 5.4.x, 5.5.x Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: stg stgpool full empty
Local fix
Use scratch volumes or make sure your high and low migration thresholds are set to values that allow migratoin to complete before the storage pool can fill.
