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
