Hi,
We've got an ASA9 database that started causing us some trouble yesterday. It appears to not allow any connections to be made to it. Doesn't give any return messages, it just hangs at the client level and never does anything. The service window looks normal. Says the server is started normally, as well as the sharedmemory link, namedpipes link and TCPIP link. Starts on the port and says that it is now accepting requests. Try to connect through our application, scjview, dbisql, dbvalid, etc. all just hang with no response. Go to stop the service, and it just hangs as well. Have to kill all of the processes.
Had IT get me the backup, and it had the same problem. Had to go back 3 days to get a backup that would actually start and allow connections. I ended up translating the log and applying the sql to the last good backup in order to get us running again. Ran dbvalid against the database and nothing was found to be wrong.
I'm concerned that there is something else going on. Has anyone seen anything similar? Any thoughts on what the issue could be?
Thanks!
John
