Error description
Internal lock contention on the server sometimes causes it to report that storage agent LANFREE paths do not exist. This incorrectly causes data to be transferred through the server and over the LAN. This can also cause excessive sessions to be opened with the library manager server in order to re-check if a LANFREE path exists every time a client session connects. Customer/L2 Diagnostics: If data read/write path is LANFREE only operation may fail with ANR0416W and ANS0350E on client side. If LAN is allowed the request will go over the LAN. It could be determined using 'bytes transferred' value for LAN session from 'QUERY SESSION' output for sessions between STA and Server. For example. 'QUERY SESSION' from STA: 75 ShMem SendW 0 S 5.1 G 399 Node AIX <Client name> 76 SSL Run 0 S 848 5.1 G Server AIX <Server name> Also traces from STA will show that there is no path for Library Server: 08:58:01.897 [72][smlshare.c][899][smQueryLibraryPath]:rc 0 as result of QueryLibPath pathExists is 0 08:58:01.897 [72][pvr.c][8991][pvrTestLanFreePath]:rc 0 from smQueryLibraryPath library <library Name> exists is 0 Here are some other traces that were found: 19:07:57.399 [94][smbf.c][555][smCheckRemoteBitfile]:File XXXXXXXX for vol YYYYYYY is in pool ZZ with lanfree FALSE. 19:07:57.399 [94][smbf.c][567][smCheckRemoteBitfile]:Returning REMOTE TRUE. | MDVPARTL 7.1.8 TIV_5698MSV IT21624 | IBM Spectrum Protect versions affected: IBM Spectrum Server version all current support versions.
