DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

In HADR superasync synchronization mode, if the following steps 
are executed, standby will hang for ever. 
 
Note: Because standby is hung, any action on standby including 
takeover will hang. 
 
1. HADR pair using super aysnc mode is setup with logfilsiz X. 
2. HADR primary generates few log's. 
3. Standby is deactivated. 
4. Run some transactions on primary to move up in number of log 
extents. 
5. Primary is deactivated. 
6. logfilsiz on primary is changed to Y 
7. A start hadr on db hadrdb as primary BY FORCE is issued. 
8. Few more log's are written with the new logfilsiz 
9. Activate the standby. 
 
After step 9, standby will appear hung. You can also confirm 
this by looking at the output of db2pd -hadr. If the log extent 
number for standby does not move ahead then it could be due to 
this hang. 
 
db2diag.log will contain messages similar to the following, note 
that the next extent header standby received after extent header 
for log 718  is for log 747 instead of 719. Due to this out of 
order extent header send issue at the time of logfilsiz causes a 
hang on standby.
