SAP Note 1020860 - MaxDB/SAPDB Database does not start

Component : MaxDB -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1020860 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
The SAPDB and MaxDB versions lower than specified builds are reported not to start, remaining locked in 'Vsuspend' mode without reaching 'online' or 'warm' status. Analysis involves checking server tasks via 'db_cons show ta', verifying suspend reasons with 'db_cons sh susp', and tracking I/O activity absence via 'db_cons sh io'. The resolution notes that the issue is resolved in later builds of both database versions. In absence of upgrades, a workaround by altering cserv.pcf file and adjusting MAXSERVERTASKS to 1 is suggested to force start the database while ensuring to restore original settings post restart for performance stability.
