Problem description: | |
When attempting to add a table space using a file or path container, and the container has previously been used by the same database, the instance may crash a similar stack as below: 0 sqlbDMSAddContainerRequest 1 sqlbDMSCreatePool 2 sqlbSetupPool 3 sqlbCreatePool 4 sqldPoolCreate 5 sqlrlcts 6 sqlnq_create_tablespace_end 7 sqlnq_create_tablespace_stmt 8 sqlnp_smactn 9 sqlnp_parser 10 sqlnp_main This happens when the user attempts to use either a path containing a stale container tag file (SQLNAM.TAG), or a file container that has previously been used by the database, but is not in use any longer (for example old tablespace container restored from a filesystem backup). | |

Local Fix: | |
For path containers, remove the old tag file (SQLTAG.NAM). For file containers, avoid using old container files containing a stale tag. Use a brand new file instead. | |
