Hello,
We are currently using backint for our full and log backups with SAP HANA SPS 9. They both work fine. We started having issues when we stop and start the SAP HANA database. It hangs and the following services do not start:
daemon - yellow
xsengine - yellow
webdispatcher - red
Initially, we thought it was related to our interfaces ( eth1 - eth3 ). While trouble shooting, we downed these mentioned interfaces and it allowed SAP HANA to start w/o issues. But...we have other tiers ( sandbox, quality and development ) using SPS 9 where we do not encounter this issue. The only difference with those tiers, we do not utilize the HP DP backint. So, on a hunch, we kept the interfaces up ( eth1 - eth3 ) during a stop and restart with a server giving us issues but changed the following parameter before re-starting:
[backup]
log_backup_using_backint = false
The server came online normal w/o any issues. We stopped it again, changed the parameter back to ( log_backup_using_backint = true ), and the hanging issue returned ( daemon - yellow, xsengine - yellow and webdispatcher - red ). Having to change this parameter every time we stop and start an SAP HANA DB is not viable. It will create gaps in our transaction logs ( backint vs local ) since SAP HANA automatically backs up log segments during a restart.
Has anyone encountered this issue with backint ? Is there a work-around ?
Thank you in advance,
