Hi Miller,
See if the below note is usefull.
A procedure is implemented in the SAP HANA database that, after a failed recovery, prevents the database that is inconsistent as a result from starting. During this, the system writes the state transitions to the topology tree of a name server during a recovery, and deletes these if the recovery is successful. If the recovery is not completed successfully, relevant entries remain in the topology tree as a result. This causes the database start to terminate.
However, due to an error in the implementation of revision 23, entries of this type were permanently written to the topology tree for failed database backups. Therefore, these entries also prevent a subsequent restart or upgrade of the SAP HANA database.
