ADSMer's,

     The ADSM server ptf 3.1.2.1 had an error in the file versioning
algorithm for backup file processing.  The error was that files that
exceeded the version constraints for the appropriate policy were not
marked
for expiration.  As a result of this, files were not being versioned
properly and expired.  This error can cause DB utilitization and storage

pool space to increase as more files are being kept on the server than
necessary.  The apar that documents this error is IX85298.  In response
to
this error, an emergency fix ptf is available on index.storsys.ibm.com
under
the directory /adsm/fixes/v3r1 and look in the platform appropriat
directory.  For example, the aix emergency fix is located in
/adsm/fixes/v3r1/aixsrv/3.1.2.13/IX85298.bff.  This fix corrects the
versioning algorithm and as files are subsequently backed-up, the
versioning
will be corrected and expiration for these files will again process as
normal.
