DB in Recovery Pending

  • Hi Experts,

    Our DW database having size 6TB is in recovery pending state because of space issue in that drive. How can we resolve this issue?

    Since the db is not online we wont be able to add a new file to another drive right.

    TIA

  • What are the messages in the error log?

  • Thanks a lot Gail.

    S:\LOG\ABC_Log_508.ldf: Operating system error 112(There is not enough space on the disk.) encountered.

    To allow recovery to succeed, the log file 'ABC_log5' has been expanded beyond its maximum size. After recovery completes, you should either increase the size of the log file in the database or schedule more frequent backups of the log (under the full or bulk-logged recovery model).

  • Is that the only message?

    Can you move files off S drive to free up space?

  • Only mdf and ldf files of that particular db exists in that drive.

  • Can you expand the drive?

  • We have requested infrastructure team for that..

    Is there any other way to handle this.

    Thanks Again Gail.. You are my Guru..

  • Probably, but they're far less preferable ways than expanding the drive.

    expand the drive, then plan to add another separate drive (RAID 10 if possible) and move all you log files to this drive.
