DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC99076 Status: Closed

DB2AIOTHR SEEMS TO STUCK IN THE SOLARIS KERNEL

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
DB2 instance on Solaris can become inaccessible and 
enter a hung state. 
 
After a period of activity a DB2 instance became inaccessible 
and entered a hung state. 
 
Looking at the DB2 threads they can been seen to be on async I/O 
requests.  However the Solaris async I/O worker threads all 
appear to be idle and waiting on requests. 
 
This can be due to a Solaris defect 6972029 close(-1) cancels 
all aio for all open file descriptors.
