Problem IC77056 | Status: Closed |
OFFLINE ADD NODE AND NORMAL DB2START FAIL DUE TO DEADLATCH DURING INSTANCE STARTUP | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
During instance startup on a partition, a deadlatch may occur while initiializing the DBMS memory set. In rare circumstances, additional memory may need to be allocated while trying to set up the memory set which leads to a deadlatch situation. This is due to an internal accounting error when estimating the initial size of a memory heap. If the deadlatch occurs then db2start will timeout or hang. A db2trc taken during db2start would look like this if the issue occurs: 11541 0.986140292 DB2StartMain data [probe 375] 11542 0.986141042 | SqloMemController::initialize entry 11543 0.986141941 | SqloMemController::initialize exit 11544 0.986143324 | sqloRegisterMemorySetWithPMC entry 11545 0.986145712 | | SqloMemController::registerConsumer entry 11546 0.986147470 | | | sqlogmblkEx entry 11547 0.986150005 | | | | SMemBasePool::getNewChunkSubgroup entry 11548 0.986153271 | | | | | sqlo_xlatch::getConflict entry 11549 0.986206322 | | | | | sqlo_xlatch::getConflict mbt [Marker:PD_LATCH_TRACE_WAIT_STARTING ] 13835 306.975846427 | | | | | | sqleKillNode entry | |
