Restarting a clone database

If the clone database is down as a result of using db2ed_vmclonedb -o umount or rebooting the system, you can restart it with the -o restartdb option.

Note:

This option can only be used when a clone database is created successfully. If the clone database is recovered manually, -o update_status must be run to update the status before -o restartdb will work.

To start the clone database

Use the db2ed_vmclonedb command as follows:

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/db2ed_vmclonedb -D DB2DATABASE -g snap_dg \
-o restartdb,new_db=db_name,server_name=svr_name -f SNAPPLAN \
[-r relocate_path]

In this example, the clone database is re-started on the same host as the primary database (a single-host configuration).

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/db2ed_vmclonedb -D PROD -g SNAP_PRODdg \
-o restartdb,new_db=NEWPROD,server_name=svr_name -f snap1 -r /clone

In this example, the clone database is re-started on the secondary host (a two-host configuration).

$ /opt/VRTS/bin/db2ed_vmclonedb -D PROD -g SNAP_PRODdg \
-o restartdb,new_db=NEWPROD,server_name=kagu -f snap1 -r /clone
