Matt, I didn't see further replies to this so I thought I'd add my experience recently.
I have two servers I've been chasing locks/hangs on, mostly related to REPAIR STGVOL. One server would hang up every other day. I waited for a month to get a patch, which was against 5.3.2.4; however, in haste, I went to 5.3.3.0 which disables the automatic execution of REPAIR STGVOL by reclaimation. That server has been stable, without hangs, for 2 weeks. Now, when things are slow/idle, I can manually run REPAIR STGVOL. I get about 100 volumes per hour processed. Eventually it will abort due to some other process holding a lock. When I restart it, it picks up where it left off. I only have 1000 volumes left to go. My other server is still at 5.3.2.3. I will skip to 5.3.3 and manually get the REPAIRs done during known idle times. I have the eFix for 5.3.2.4. It prevents REPAIR STGVOL from running when other processes are running. If you really need the fix, then TSM support could get you to L2 who can hook you up with the eFix, but I would recommend 5.3.3 and manual runs during idle times. Once you're caught up, you really shouldn't have to worry about it for a while since it's repairing orphans created at 5.1.5 through 5.1.7.1 during multithreaded diskpool operations. -Josh On 06.04.03 at 11:38 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
