Problem IC78823 | Status: Closed |
CRASH RECOVERY MAY FAIL WITH BAD PAGE ERROR DUE TO PROBLEM WITH EXTENT MOVEMENT | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
Under a very rare condition after extent movement some but not all of the meta data about the location of a table might be flushed to disk. This created an inconsistent view of the table on disk and if the database abnormally shutdown at this very same window then crash recovery will skip some of the processing because it sees the partial meta data on disk and thinks that it doesn't need to redo it. This causes DB2 to fail to locate pages during crash recovery. This problem only applies to tablespace created in v97, and it only applies when the following command(s) has been run followed by a database abnormal shutdown: 1. ALTER TABLESPACE ... LOWER HIGH WATER MARK 2. ALTER TABLESPACE ... REDUCE MAX A possible symptom of the problem is bad page error from sqlb_verify_page: FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, buffer pool services, sqlb_verify_page, probe:2 MESSAGE : ZRC=0x86020001=-2046689279=SQLB_BADP "page is bad" DIA8400C A bad page was encountered.
