Problem IC84265 | Status: Closed |
DB2 MAY PANIC DURING ATTEMPT TO UNFIX (SQLBUFIX) A PAGE FROM BUFFERPOOL | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
When INSPECTing a damaged object DB2 may read bad pages into the bufferpool without detecting them. This happens with pages that belong to the same object and therefore look like a valid page. The actual corruption is the data pages being out of sync with the objects EMPs. A possible sequence of events that may result in the above corruption and instance PANIC is: - a not logged operation (NLI) against an object is aborted/rolled back - the object is in drop pending state after the NLI operation - INSPECT with option ERROR STATE ALL is executed against the object - error SQL1224N is hit and instance is brought down A possible stack may look like following: ... sqlb_panic sqlbufix dartCall_sqlbUnFixPage dartUnfixPage dartScanDAT dartScanTable dartScanTablespace dartInspect This APAR will ensure DB2 detects the corruption upon fixing the page (sqlbfix) instead of successfully loading it into bufferpool and fail upon releasing/unfixing the page from bufferpool. | |
