Our services are independent from licensing through our company. Well-known customers rely on our monitoring and use our tools, while licensing and update maintenance are contracted directly with IBM.

Problem IC76792 Status: Closed

BAD PAGE HEADER ENCOUNTERED BY PREFETCHER DURING ONLINE BACKUP ON LINUX
PLATFORM. BACKUP IMAGE MAY BE CORRUPTED.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
This problem exists only in V9.7 Fix pack 3 and Fix pack 4 on 
the Linux platform. 
 
 
Conditions through which the Bad Page Header is encountered: 
 
1)  Linux operating system 
2)  DB2 V9.7 using either Fix pack 3 or Fix pack 4 
3)  Tablespaces with multiple containers 
4)  Online backup 
5)  Significant user activity which drives prefetching during 
online backup 
 
 
There are 2 possible consequences: 
 
1)  Incorrect pages are silently written to the online backup.

corruption. 
2)  Bad Page Header messages encountered by prefetchers during 
the online backup.

The db2diag.log entries in the above example show that DB2 
requested page 9678 from tablespace 4, but received page 2770 
from tablespace 4. In order to verify the occurrence of the bad 
page header issue, the received page must be in the same 
tablespace as the requested page.
