SAP Note 1867783 - XFS Data Inconsistency Bug with SLES 11 SP2

Component : SAP HANA database - SUSE Linux

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1867783 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
Issues arise with XFS filesystems on SLES 11 SP2 or SLES 11 for SAP SP2, leading to potential data inconsistencies, particularly when running any variant of SAP HANA with Linux Kernel versions older than 3.0.80-0.5.1. This inconsistency is triggered during parallel AIO/DIO operations when the system is either umounted or rebooted. To resolve, upgrade to Linux Kernel version 3.0.80-0.5.1 via SUSE's maintenance update. Prior to this, data must be backed up to avoid data loss during the update process. For new installations, ensure the kernel update precedes the HANA installation.

Key words :
`ls <path_to_data_vol>/<sid>/mnt000 /hdb000 /datavolume, maintenance update installed correctly, suse linux enterprise server 11, fix existing data inconsistencies, parallel aio/dio, run thefollowing commands, linux kernel delivered, linux kernel older, older linux kernel, linux kernel fixing
