DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC71894 Status: Closed

MOUNT_STOP SCRIPT MAY HANG IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE FS ON THE SAME VG

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
In an integrated HA environment, if there are multiple 
filesystems exist on the same vg on AIX systems, the TSA move 
request may hang. TSA move will call the mountV9x_stop.ksh 
script on all the mount points in parallel. 
 
In the mountV9x_stop.ksh script, umount and varyoffvg commands 
are issued in a loop until varyoffvg is successful. 
 
In a scenario where there are multiple fs on the same vg, one 
mountV9x_stop.ksh script may be calling varyoffvg while the 
other mountV9x_stop.ksh may be issuing lslv prior to a umount 
attempt. Since varyoffvg is being invoked in a loop, this will 
block the lslv calls. This subsequently blocks the lslv, umount 
code path in the rest of the mountV9x_stop.ksh scripts, so those 
mount points are still mounted. This in turn causes varyoffvg 
call to fail. 
 
This race condition is sometimes seen in an environment where 
there are over 4 filesystems per vg. 
 
During this scenario, any lslv or lsvg command will hang.
