HADR db resources in Unknown state on Windows platform

Troubleshooting


Problem

lssam is showing the HADR database resource in an "Unknown" state on both servers even though the HADR pair are peer connected according to the db2pd command.

Symptom

The 'hadr_monitor.ksh' script always exits with a return code of 0'

Cause

The 'hadr_monitor.ksh' script uses the "db2pd.exe" binary to query the HADR state and role. But the db2pd.exe command could not be found when there is an attempt to execute it within the hadr_monitor.ksh script.

Environment

DB2 HADR on Windows, being automated by TSAMP using the DB2 automation scripts

Diagnosing The Problem

Use the syslog to verify the return code and messages from the hadr_monitor.ksh script, else run the hadr_monitor.ksh script (with required args) from the shell command prompt and immediately follow with the command 'echo $?'.

Resolving The Problem

The PATH statement at the top of the script needs to be modified to point to the location of the DB2 install if it is not the default for a Windows deployment :
DEFAULT:
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin/rsct/bin:"/dev/fs/C/Program Files/IBM/SQLLIB/BIN"

If DB2 is installed on D: drive for example :
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin/rsct/bin:"/dev/fs/D/IBM/SQLLIB/BIN"

The PATH statement should be updated in all the DB2 automation scripts, not just the *_monitor.ksh, and on both nodes.

Additionally, if the HADR syncmode is *not* "Sync", then the "hadr_monitor.ksh" script will need to be modified as follows:
DEFAULT:
db2pd.exe -hadr -db ${DB2HADRDBNAME?} \
| grep ${grepFlags?} "Sync " \
| grep "[a-zA-Z]" \
| awk '{print $1 "\n" $2}' > $temp_snap

If syncmode is "Nearsync" :
db2pd.exe -hadr -db ${DB2HADRDBNAME?} \
| grep ${grepFlags?} "Nearsync " \
| grep "[a-zA-Z]" \
| awk '{print $1 "\n" $2}' > $temp_snap
