Problem description: | |
In large enterprise data warehouse environments (>200 partitions), stopping the instance can take too long. If ssh is being used as the remote command shell then db2stop could be faster by allowing all node stop commands to happen in parallel. In specific customer case, where the number of nodes is greater than 200, the nodes above 200 don't get the db2stop command in the first iteration. Therefore, they will continue to try to communicate to nodes 0 - 199. When those nodes stop, the nodes above 200 can't communicate and start node recovery. FCM communication failure and node recovery generate a lot of messages in the db2diag.log. This means the entire stop process is delayed with all the communication failures and node recovery. | |
