Rolling forward through an add member operation

Starting in version 10.5, a IBM® Db2® pureScale® Feature instance backup image that was taken before adding a member online can be restored and rolled forward without requiring a full offline database backup.

Restrictions and requirements
  • The ROLLFORWARD command must be initiated from a member that is currently in the database topology.
  • The add member event must correspond to a member that is currently in the member topology.
  • The table space ROLLFORWARD command can process one or more add member events in the transaction logs.
  • If there is an online table space roll forward operation in progress for the database, you are not able to issue the first connection to a database on a newly added member.
