Hi all.

We have a SAP system with DB2 database on a Virtual Machine on Windows. VM has 2 disks on one LUN on NetApp - a system disk and a disk with SAP and DB2 (we know this is not the best practice but this machine is created only for tests).

We made a snapshot of the LUN with SnapVault and SnapCreator (agent is installed on VM). I don't know all details because the Virtual Machine and NetApp are in a Public Cloud and backup is a cloud service. We can only request to backup or restore some LUN.

After the restoration of  the LUN with the whole VM we're unable to rollforward log files.

db2inidb TWN as mirror

DBT1008N  Database "TWN" is not a split mirror image.

What is wrong with DB ?

Best regards,

Sergey
