Error description
If there are data extents that are marked damaged, an audit container process might fail with the following error: ANR4299I AUDIT CONTAINER: Internal extent repair process is currently running. The problem occurs due to a background repair process that has been granted exclusive access to the audit table. The audit container process requires exclusive access to this table as well and if the repair is long running, it can cause the audit process to fail. This is a large window where the repair thread wakes and runs every 30 seconds. It can run upwards of 15-30 seconds while interrogating the audit table for extents that need to be finalized in the repair process. The delay will be more noticeable as more entries are added to the audit table. The more entries in the damage table the more likely you are to hit this apar. Due to the large timing window the Audit Container command is issued at the same time as the repair thread starting to execute the SQL. The QUERY DAMAGED command can be used to determine if damaged extents already exist prior to running the AUDIT CONTAINER command. Customer/L2 Diagnostics (if applicable) None *NOTE* None Platforms affected: 7.1.5+ Linux Unix Windows Initial Impact: Low Additional Keywords: TSM IBM Spectrum Protect
Local fix
Issue the Audit Container command repeatedly every 3-4 seconds up to a few minutes, till you catch a window in which the Audit Container can be executed.
