Database Storage Checkpoints created by using dbed_ckptcreate may not be visible after upgrading to 9.0 (2626248)
After upgrading from a 5.0 release to 9.0, the Database Storage Checkpoints created earlier using
dbed_ckptcreate may not be migrated.
Workaround: Perform the following steps to make the old Database Storage Checkpoints visible.
To resolve the issue
-
Remove the new repository.
-
Examine the contents of the
/var/vx/vxdba/rep_locfile to determine the location of the 9.0 repository. -
Remove the
.sfaedirectory specified as thelocationattribute.
-
-
Remove the repository location file:
/var/vx/vxdba/rep_loc. -
Create a symlink
/var/vx/vxdba/<SID>/.sfdb_reptpointing to the.sfdb_reptdirectory created in the same location as the.sfaedirectory removed earlier.
$ ln -s <location>/.sfdb_rept /var/vx/vxdba/<SID>/.sfdb_rept
This step creates a symlink to the old repository.
-
Import repository data by running the
dbed_updatecommand.
This step imports the data from the old repository.
The old Database Storage Checkpoints are now visible.
