Problem description: | |
if the logical logs are not backed up and a thread tries to write to the next logical log, any attempt to resolve this via onparams will fail. If such an attempt is made, for example by: onparams -a -d logspace -i ... this will display: Log operation started. To monitor progress, use the onstat -l command. ... but then it will hang. This is the online.log 12:52:32 Logical Log 88 Complete, timestamp: 0x78b4cf. 12:52:33 Logical Log Files are Full -- Backup is Needed ..... From the onstat -g cpu output, the sqlexec thread is in logchange and onparams is waiting on that condition: 135 sqlexec 1cpu 01/13 13:54:23 2.6295 39871 sleeping secs: 1 136 onparam 1cpu 01/13 12:52:52 0.0002 8 cond wait log The onparam thread has this stack: 0x00000000014281c4 (oninit) yield_processor_mvp 0x000000000143f476 (oninit) mt_fast_wait 0x0000000000f0ed8e (oninit) logm_write 0x0000000000ddfbf8 (oninit) logchalloc 0x0000000000d25e3d (oninit) challoc 0x0000000000d269e2 (oninit) dbsalloc 0x0000000000dcb2b5 (oninit) rslogadd 0x0000000000ef6edd (oninit) aud_islogadd 0x00000000015d5af3 (oninit) onparam 0x000000000154290b (oninit) spawn_thread 0x0000000001401c70 (oninit) th_init_initgls 0x0000000001448997 (oninit) startup | |
