Problem IC87826
|
Status: Geschlossen |
THE PARALLEL MODE OF DB2_ALL MAY HANG IN A VERY LARGE DPF ENVIRONMENT |
| Produkt: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2 |
| Problembeschreibung: |
When running db2_all in parallel mode (i.e. ';' option), db2_all
sends the user's command to the target partitions, and spawns
waiter processes in the partition where the command was run from
(i.e. sender partition). After the target partitions completes
the user's command, they send a remote shell command back to the
sender partition to inform that the command completed.
Prior to the fix for this APAR, should this remote shell command
fails for any reason, the sender partition exhibits a hang
symptom, as it thinks that the user's command has not completed
in the target partitions, when in fact it has.
This is caused due to the lack of error handling of the failed
remote shell command. This APAR addresses the error handling.
The cause of the remote shell command failure varies, but a
common known cause is the excessive number of remote shell
running at the same time. For example, starting too many ssh at
the same time may cause some of them to fail with the following
error.
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
Running too many rsh at the same time can fail with the
following errors.
socket: protocol failure in circuit setup.
socket: All ports in use
These types of capacity related failures may happen in a very
large DPF environment. e.g. several hundred partitions. |

| Local-Fix: |
Running db2_all in serial mode (i.e. without ';') does not have
this problem. |
| Lösung |
First fixed in DB2 10.1 Fixpack 1. |
