Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone out there is also using the Db2 COS feature (Cloud Object Storage) to enable direct log archiving (via LOGARCHMETH) to a remote (Cloud) storage such as the AWS S3?
And, if you have been using this feature, have you attempted any Db2 upgrades along the way, which also required the upgrade of the operating system as a prerequisite?
How did this work out for you?
I have just attempted the above - upgrade Db2 from v11.5.7 to v12.1.3, which required the OS upgrade from RHEL8.1 to RHEL9.6, and this resulted in the broken COS client (by the looks of it), with the following error messages in the db2diag.log:
FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, oper system services, sqloRemStgList, probe:1139
MESSAGE : ZRC=0x870F00B7=-2029059913=SQLO_UNSUPPORTED
"Operation is unsupported."
...
DATA #3 : String, 26 bytes
COS Client is unavailable
Not much else (in terms of useful info) is present in the db2diag.log, so I'm wondering if my problem is somehow related to the OS upgrade and if there are any extra steps to be taken to remedy the problem (there is nothing in the DB2 Knowledge Centre that would suggest any such actions, that I can see)?
Needless to say, but here it is anyway: the REMOTE STORAGE worked flawlessly for several years prior to this DB2/OS upgrade.
Has anyone had any experience with something like this - and if yes, how did you get out of it?
Kind regards, Damir
