Description

Virtual restore cannot be performed for large amounts of data. In these cases, the database aborts the virtual restore process already during the startup phase. This only affects huge archive volumes with several TiB of data per node.

Workaround

In those scenarios, a blocking restore might be a viable solution if it is possible to free up some memory.

Fix

After applying the fix, the virtual restore should work as expected.
