Resolving issues with database page verification

Page validation failure during database backup processing can indicate corruption in the database, requiring a repair action to correct the problem. If page validation fails, the database backup also fails.

Procedure

  • Contact IBM® support for assistance in diagnosing and repairing any database corruption.
  • If a full database backup was in progress to free space in the archive log directory, take one of the following actions:
    • Increase the amount of space in the archive log directory.
    • Issue the ARCHFAILOVERLOGDIRECTORY option to specify a failover archive log directory in which the server can store log files that cannot be stored in the archive log directory.

    Ensuring adequate space in the archive log directory allows the server to continue to run while the database is repaired.
