It's not clear that this is a problem or malfunction. Customer should contact IBM support and be ready to transmit copies of the cited log files and other mmbackup command output (stdout and stderr messages) for analysis. Also mmsnap output.

I’m not technically “responsible” for mmbackup here, so I’m not at all familiar with it. However, we’ve asked a certain vendor (not IBM) about it and they don’t know either, so I don’t feel too awfully bad. And we have looked at the man page and didn’t see any obvious options to decrease the verbosity. We did not make any changes to the backup script itself, so the mmbackup invocation is the same. Any ideas?
