Deferring recovery during restart

It is possible to defer recovery for an object during restart. If you use the DEFER installation option, that defers the log apply processing of the object for only the member who specified that option.

All the pages that would have been applied to disk or the group buffer pool are instead added to the logical page list. This can affect the rest of the group; any member who needs a page that is on the logical page list will not be able to access that page until the object is restarted.

To make those pages available after Db2 restarts, use the START DATABASE command with the SPACENAM option.

Deferring recovery does not change restart time significantly.
