Peculiar dag / db restore situation
We've done restores many a time. But this time its different...the restore job ends, the data have been read, the tape dismounts. But the job doesnt complete, it sits there saying return status 0 in the job but sits in "Active" status in activity monitor.
We use the same restore procedure as we have since the year dot...follow the steps.
One difference is the restore is to a passive node in the dag, and its local passive partner has severe disk issues...the controller has died. My exchange admin assures me it is not relevant since the restore isnt to a dag database by which I assume he means its a database only on the restore target node.
NB7604 Solaris master->windows server dag.
Any ideas?
jim_dalton If the node you restore to have disk issues, it can be the log apply on the database the is taking long time. As far as I remember you can see the log apply/restore in the event log on the target exchange server.
