I restored a database backup taken on a different server using this script:
FORCE APPLICATIONS ALL;
RESTORE DATABASE MY_DATABASE_NAME
FROM /backup/db2inst1
TAKEN AT 20140104051657
ON /data
INTO MY_DATABASE_NAME
WITH 2 BUFFERS
BUFFER 1024
PARALLELISM 1
WITHOUT PROMPTING;
TERMINATE;
From which I receive the message:
Restore is successful
Then I try to connect:
[db2inst1@host sql]$ db2 CONNECT TO MY_DATABASE_NAME
SQL0901N The SQL statement or command failed because of a database system
error. (Reason "Scan interface error".) SQLSTATE=58004
I was able to restore the exact same backup to the server it came from with no problems. This only occurs when attempting to restore it to a different server. The second server has a nearly identical setup (both CentOS 6.3, both using db2 10.1 express-C), the only difference being the main server has a user db2inst1 in group db2iadm1 and the second has db2inst1 in group db2inst1. Any ideas?

Do you know which fix pack both versions were on? I found this APAR list which mentions the error if you move from FP1 back to the GA release of 10.1: www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IC85565. It looks from what I'm seeing elsewhere on the web that this can result if you restore from a newer version of DB2 to an older version (possibly even fix pack-wise) such as the link above shows. Check to make sure both are at the same FP level to rule out the problem.Chris Aldrich– Chris Aldrich2014年01月12日 01:49:28 +00:00Commented Jan 12, 2014 at 1:49

I ran across that same article. I am in the process of updating to 10.5 which has the added benefit of 16G memory (up from 4). I will update this question with the results, but as of this comment the restore has been running for more than 4 hours (trying to restore on my development laptop VM with 1G ram)...Lucas– Lucas2014年01月12日 01:59:29 +00:00Commented Jan 12, 2014 at 1:59

@ChrisAldrich, the update to 10.5 did the trick. It doesn't really explain the problem, but nonetheless it worked. If you would like to change your comment to an answer, I would be happy to mark it that way.Lucas– Lucas2014年01月12日 19:34:30 +00:00Commented Jan 12, 2014 at 19:34
