Hi All

I have noticed an interesting mismatch between summary records and the
ANR1214I message at the end of a storage pool backup.  It happens only once
every couple of days.

TSM Server 5.3.5.0 on AIX 5.3-04

tsm: XXXX13>select * from summary where activity='STGPOOL BACKUP' and
entity='BACKPOOL -> COPYTAPE' and failed >0

8 failed objects on backups stg of BACKPOOL to COPYTAPE in summary record,
but actlog shows
12-02-2008 16:02:15  ANR1214I Backup of primary storage pool BACKPOOL to
copy
                      storage pool COPYTAPE has ended.  Files Backed Up:
                      252759, Bytes Backed Up: 13848756224, Unreadable
Files:
                      0, Unreadable Bytes: 0. (SESSION: 1679220)
This is perplexing. There are no other relevant messages in actlog. I ran a
backup stg again manually, and all files were copied as reported in
foreground message and in summary table.  I also ran q content copied=no on
all the volumes in the source storage pool and that came up empty.


Any ideas as to where to go next?  Tech support search shows nothing
relevant.


Thanks


Steve.
