Error opening container

[DavrosDalek]

Hi Guys

My daily maintenance job has been failing, in this job i backup db, devconf, volh, PROTECT STGPOOL & REPLicate Node (we have an offsite tsm server). I have been suspecting that there is some corruption in my container so i looked in file dsmffdc.log and found this.

[02-24-2021 00:48:34.167][ FFDC_REPLICATION ]: (sdrtrv.c:3906) Error 2529 opening container M:\Pool1\8b\0000000000008ba6.dcf(35750) in pool PRIMARY_POOL
[02-24-2021 00:48:34.845][ FFDC_REPLICATION ]: (sdrtrv.c:3906) Error 2529 opening container M:\Pool1\8b\0000000000008ba6.dcf(35750) in pool PRIMARY_POOL
[02-24-2021 00:48:34.903][ FFDC_REPLICATION ]: (sdrtrv.c:3906) Error 2529 opening container M:\Pool1\8b\0000000000008ba6.dcf(35750) in pool PRIMARY_POOL

I would like to repair this from my other server but i believe that i have to run audit container first before i can run repair stgpool ?
Is there a more direct way that i can repair this container M:\Pool1\8b\0000000000008ba6.dcf without running audit container or can i audit M:\Pool1\8b\0000000000008ba6.dcf on it's own ? Audit container is breaking all of my backup jobs as it's hammering our disk subsystem so much that jobs are failing.

Kind Regards
Craig

You should probably open a case with IBM for that, there might be other underlying issues.

can i audit M:\Pool1\8b\0000000000008ba6.dcf on it's own ?

Yes you can audit a single container. However if protect had errors when reading that container, they may already be damaged. You can use QUERY DAMAGE to see if there's already damage reported

query damage {pool_name} type=status
query damage {pool_name} type=container
