Couldn't startup HANA after Log Volume full

[Former Member]

Greetings guys,

Recently we had an unfortunate incident when our HANA server ran out of disk space due to the growth of the log files. We then proceeded to follow the steps mentioned in this link (http://scn.sap.com/thread/3397277) . However we are still having issues getting the services started back up after following the exact steps - the HDB Daemon and HDB Nameserver status wouldn't go past initializing.  Does anyone have any ideas or could shed some suggestions on what we can do next?

On another note we noticed there is something strange with the size of the log file when it's ordered in sequence, the logsegment has a 0KB file in between - this happened during the volume full incident. (you may refer to the attached). Could our issue be related to this?

logsegment_000_00000010.dat     65KB

logsegment_000_00000011.dat     0KB

logsegment_000_00000012.dat     65KB

Many thanks

Ken

HI Ken,

please check the server trace files for error messages.

Also: you're still running the system on rev. 41? That's really old in SAP HANA terms...

Hi Lars,

Yes we are still on rev 41. I've gone through the trace files, not seeing any errors though...these are the last entries in the respective trace files.

In daemon trace :

2013-10-07 10:33:45.139194 i Daemon       TrexDaemon.cpp(08431) : start 'hdbnameserver' as process 52437

In nameserver trace :

2013-10-07 10:33:46.661286 i assign       TREXNameServer.cpp(01173) : assign as master nameserver. assign to volume 1 started

Thanks
