An index only area lost thanks to the server provider

Posted by Kai Lahtinen on 27-Jun-2016 01:43

Hi!


The server provider of our customer made some changes to their SAN during weekend. Because of that one DB area is lost. This area contains only indeces of one table. Is there any other solutions to get DB back in a running conditions than the restore?


OE version is 10.2B08.


Regards

Kai

1. Restore any previous state of the lost index area. At least from empty database.

2. Don't run prostrct unlock. Copy first 1K from the .db file and replace first 1K in all restored extents. Now you should be able to open the database.

3. Rebuild the indexes stored in the lost area.
