Changelog Number 11863
Type Bug
Status Open
Affected Versions Exasol 6.2.14, Exasol 7.0.9, Exasol 7.1.alpha1

Description

Under very rare circumstances, the storage recovery might cause a server crash.
This might happen if the following conditions are met:

  • a node fails
  • the failed node is coming back online
  • it comes back online before the smart recovery process was started.

This issue does not cause any data loss.

Workaround

Disable "Restore Delay" in EXAOperation in the DB and stop the "COS Services" on the failed node. After that, restart the DB and move the storage volume node from the failed node to the reserve node and enable "Restore Delay" again.

Fix

No server crash, as the storage recovery handles the above case.
