Problem description: | |
1. The filename returned by the db2adutl verify headeronly command does not match the header information when a backup is taken using more then one session. Example db2 backup database sample use tsm open 8 sessions db2adutl verify headeronly db sample taken at 20091119140501 From below you can see it states: Verifying file: ./SAMPLE.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20091119140501.001 But in per the header the file name should be SAMPLE.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20091119140501.007 Retrieving FULL DATABASE BACKUP information. Please wait. FULL DATABASE BACKUP image: ./SAMPLE.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20091119140501.001, DB Partition Number: 0 ./SAMPLE.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20091119140501.002, DB Partition Number: 0 ./SAMPLE.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20091119140501.003, DB Partition Number: 0 ./SAMPLE.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20091119140501.004, DB Partition Number: 0 ./SAMPLE.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20091119140501.005, DB Partition Number: 0 ./SAMPLE.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20091119140501.006, DB Partition Number: 0 ./SAMPLE.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20091119140501.007, DB Partition Number: 0 ./SAMPLE.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20091119140501.008, DB Partition Number: 0 Do you wish to verify this image (Y/N)? Verifying file: ./SAMPLE.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20091119140501.001 ===================== MEDIA HEADER REACHED: ===================== Server Database Name -- SAMPLE Server Database Alias -- SAMPLE Client Database Alias -- SAMPLE Timestamp -- 20091119140501 Database Partition Number -- 0 Instance -- db2inst1 Sequence Number -- 7 Release ID -- B00 Database Seed -- DBFF1C1A DB Comment's Codepage (Volume) -- 0 DB Comment (Volume) -- A sample database DB Comment's Codepage (System) -- 0 DB Comment (System) -- A sample database Authentication Value -- -1 Backup Mode -- 0 Includes Logs -- 0 Compression -- 0 Backup Type -- 0 Backup Gran. -- 0 Status Flags -- 1 System Cats inc -- 1 Catalog Partition Number -- 0 DB Codeset -- UTF-8 DB Territory -- LogID -- 1254882872 LogPath -- /home/db2inst1/db2inst1/NODE0000/SQL00001/SQLOGDIR/ Backup Buffer Size -- 1052672 Number of Sessions -- 8 Platform -- 1E The proper image file name would be: SAMPLE.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.CATN0000.20091119140501.007 2. The db2adutl query command may return several entries for the same backup image to TSM. db2adutl query full db SAMPLE Query for database SAMPLE Retrieving FULL DATABASE BACKUP information. 1 Time: 20091218011337 Oldest log: S1846095.LOG DB Partition Number: 0 Sessions: 2 2 Time: 20091218011337 Oldest log: S1846095.LOG DB Partition Number: 0 Sessions: 1 3 Time: 20091217011235 Oldest log: S1845626.LOG DB Partition Number: 0 Sessions: 3 4 Time: 20091216011338 Oldest log: S1845409.LOG DB Partition Number: 0 Sessions: 1 5 Time: 20091216011338 Oldest log: S1845409.LOG DB Partition Number: 0 Sessions: 1 6 Time: 20091216011338 Oldest log: S1845409.LOG DB Partition Number: 0 Sessions: 1 Retrieving INCREMENTAL DATABASE BACKUP information. No INCREMENTAL DATABASE BACKUP images found for SAMPLE Retrieving DELTA DATABASE BACKUP information. No DELTA DATABASE BACKUP images found for SAMPLE This problem happens whenever you have more than one session that is required for a database. This can occur even if the second session is due to an online include logs and the backup only was defined as single session (it automatically gets the second session for the logs phase). 3. The db2adutl keep <N> functionality may not work when the images are not aggregated correctly. Sample scenario is like this. 1) Check the backup images. $ db2adutl query full db SAMPLE Query for database SAMPLE Retrieving FULL DATABASE BACKUP information. 1 Time: 20091218155633 Oldest log: S0004309.LOG DB Partition Number: 0 Sessions: 2 (Online backup) 2 Time: 20091218131854 Oldest log: S0004300.LOG DB Partition Number: 0 Sessions: 2 (Online backup) 3 Time: 20091218104953 Oldest log: S0004293.LOG DB Partition Number: 0 Sessions: 1 (Offline backup) Retrieving INCREMENTAL DATABASE BACKUP information. No INCREMENTAL DATABASE BACKUP images found for SAMPLE Retrieving DELTA DATABASE BACKUP information. No DELTA DATABASE BACKUP images found for SAMPLE The output is correct, one entry for one image. 2) Take a fourth online backup, and db2adutl delete with "keep 6" option. # su - maint1 -c db2 backup db SAMPLE online use tsm buffer 2049 include logs Backup successful. The timestamp for this backup image is : 20091218163950 # su - maint1 -c db2adutl delete full NONINCREMENTAL keep 6 db SAMPLE without prompting Query for database SAMPLE Retrieving FULL DATABASE BACKUP information. Taken at: 20091218104953 DB Partition Number: 0 Sessions: 1 The backup image which should not be deleted was deleted. 3) Check the backup images again. $ db2adutl query full db SAMPLE Query for database SAMPLE Retrieving FULL DATABASE BACKUP information. 1 Time: 20091218163950 Oldest log: S0004315.LOG DB Partition Number: 0 Sessions: 1 2 Time: 20091218163950 Oldest log: S0004315.LOG DB Partition Number: 0 Sessions: 1 3 Time: 20091218155633 Oldest log: S0004309.LOG DB Partition Number: 0 Sessions: 1 4 Time: 20091218155633 Oldest log: S0004309.LOG DB Partition Number: 0 Sessions: 1 5 Time: 20091218131854 Oldest log: S0004300.LOG DB Partition Number: 0 Sessions: 1 6 Time: 20091218131854 Oldest log: S0004300.LOG DB Partition Number: 0 Sessions: 1 Retrieving INCREMENTAL DATABASE BACKUP information. No INCREMENTAL DATABASE BACKUP images found for SAMPLE Retrieving DELTA DATABASE BACKUP information. No DELTA DATABASE BACKUP images found for SAMPLE Two entries are listed for each backup image. This problem does not occur in V8 and V9.1. | |
