Error description
Setting DB CFG parameter LOGARCHMETH2 to OFF in an HADR Standby database will not take effect even after a restart of the Standby database. Once this Standby takes over the Primary role, it will still try archiving to archive method 2. In db2diag.log it might show references to LOGARCHMETH2, .e.g: EDUID : 2222 EDUNAME: db2logmgr (DB) 0 FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, data protection services, sqlpgRetryFailedArchive, probe:4780 MESSAGE : Still unable to archive log file 129821 due to rc -2045771739 for LOGARCHMETH2 using ... Using "ps -elf | grep meth" it shows db2vend process db2logmgr.meth2 - (database_name), which is not expected when LOGARCHMETH2 is OFF. A side effect could be a disk full situation for the active log directory. This may happen, when archive method 1 works, but the archive method 2 target does not do any more work (e.g. a vendor product was switched off) and no failarchpath has been defined.
Local fix
LOGARCHMETH2 OFF only takes effect when the database is restarted while being in the new Primary role.
