Recovery from Media Problems

The following error message indicates possible media corruption:

SARDBI02 PHYSICAL I/O ERROR - ECB=xxxxxxxx

You can resolve this media error without using SARDBASE RESTORE to restore the database. Instead, you can use either SARDBASE COPY or SARDBASE UNLOAD and LOAD. In most cases, these processes involve minimal data loss.

If you determine there is no media problem, continue with the instructions in the section Recovery from Integrity Problems later in this chapter.
