[ADSM-L] Clarification of statement concerning upgrading to Spectrum Protect 7.1.3
2015-10-20 15:40:20
To All,
Yesterday I replied to a question concerning
upgrading to the latest version of Spectrum Protect v7.1.3 (formerly known
as Tivoli Storage Manager). In my attempt to be brief, my comment may have
caused more confusion.
The patch that was applied was an efix
for APAR IT11581, it is not a GA patch. In order to receive the efix
patch, you need to have an open PMR and the symptoms that you are
experiencing are present in the APAR.
After the efix is applied running a
'show banner' command will display this:
The 7.1.3.200 deliverable reveals a
banner at startup the following: ( is also echoed using SHOW
BANNER )
*********************************************************************
* This is a Limited Availability TEMPORARY fix for
*
* IT11581 REPLICATE NODE TO TARGET DIRECTORY-CONTAINER
STORAGE *
* POOL CAN HANG
CAUSING HIGH TARGET SYSTEM CPU MEMORY *
* USAGE.
*
* It is based on fixes made generally
*
* available with patch level 7.1.3.000
*
You'll see that APAR IT11581 is the
bug mentioned and symptoms which may not occur because it's
a timing issue. It can only occur
when replicating from a source replication server non-container stgpool
to a 7.1.3 target replication
server hosting a container pool, the
target server may exhibit high CPU. In fact the high CPU on the target
replication server is a non-preemptive loop that exhibits a hang symptom
on the target server preventing replication from completing.
The movement of data that I referred
to, was indeed using the method where you have your primary (production)
server perform a node replication to a secondary SP server that has the
identical Domain structure as the primary (perform export policy), with
the copygroup destination pointing to a container storage pool.
Currently there is no 'move in' command
available to move non-container data into a 7.1.3 container, our Development
Team is working on delivering that functionality sometime in 1st half of
2016 ( "Subject to change at the discretion of IBM") .
I hope that this clarifies any confusion
I might have caused with my brief statement.
