DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC82445 Status: Closed

Many DB2 filesystems on single AIX volume group may be "Failed/S
tuck/Pending Offline" state after failover in shared-disk HA env

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
In using a shared disk configuration on AIX, with DB2 and TSA, 
if you have one volume group consisting of multiple file 
systems, after failover, some resource groups could be in a 
"Pending Offline" state. 
 
For Example, you have a VG called "db2vg1" with mulitple DB2 
filesystems, for logs, tablespaces etc, like the following: 
 
/db2/db2inst1 <-- DB2 instance home 
/db2/db2inst1/log_dir  <-- DB2 log directories 
/db2/db2inst1/temp1  <-- DB2 temporary space 
/db2/db2inst1/data1  <-- DB2 data space 
/db2/db2inst1/data2  <-- DB2 data space 
/db2/db2inst1/db2dump  <-- DB2 diagnostic data 
 
After a failover operation, the lssam output (shown below), may 
indicate several DB2 mount 
resources are in "Pending Offline", eventually reaching a Failed 
Offline" or "Stuck Online" state.
