Hi, I had a database with its shadow in a secondary disk. Suddenly, the secondary disk failed and became unavailable.
I tried to disconnect the shadow from the database using the gfix -kill option in order to continue to use the database. It run at once with no output error, but when I tried to connect to the database, using isql-fb, I got connection errors that unfortunately I didn't capture/remember in order to show you. Then I decided to restore the database from a backup I had, but previously made a manual copy of the database file. Afterwards, in order to debug what happened, I tried to connect to the copy of the database file and got the following error Statement failed, SQLSTATE = HY000 a file in manual shadow 1 is unavailable Now I tried again with the gfix -kill option, but this time it seemed to work fine and finally I could connect to the database nomally. My question is the following: Is there a condition in which the gfix -kill doesn't work, but ends silently ? Thanks in advance. Aldo
