DB2STOP TAKES A LONG TIME ON HADR SYSTEM IF STANDBY IS OFFLINE AND DATABASE NOT ACTIVATED | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
When we have a HADR system, and the standby is offline. If the database in the primary is not activated, the first connection to the database will be the one to activate it. If we run db2 connect to <database name> or db2 start hadr on <database name> as primary, but without the "by force" option, the connection will try to start hadr and connect to the standby, timing out eventually after the HADR_TIMEOUT setting and getting SQL1768N Unable to start HADR. Reason code = "7". 2010-02-03-04.29.45.699578+000 I2838967A388 LEVEL: Warning PID : 606706 TID : 1 PROC : db2agent (FRH) 0 INSTANCE: db2frh NODE : 000 APPHDL : 0-171 APPID: *LOCAL.db2frh.100203042357 AUTHID : DB2FRH FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, High Availability Disaster Recovery, hdrEduStartup, probe:21151 MESSAGE : Info: HADR Startup has begun. 2010-02-03-04.30.16.734635+000 I2842396A552 LEVEL: Error PID : 999878 TID : 1 PROC : db2hadrp (FRH) 0 INSTANCE: db2frh NODE : 000 FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, High Availability Disaster Recovery, hdrEduP, probe:20390 MESSAGE : HADR primary did not establish connection with standby within timeout and will shut down.

Local Fix: | |
When the Standby is offline issue db2 start hadr on <database name> as primary by force to activate database on the Primary. This will avoid the time out waits and a db2stop force if needed, will respond quicker. | |
