Repairing the NetVoyant database

Products

• CA NetVoyant (NetQoS / NV)

Issue/Introduction

Introduction:

DBToolv3.exe can be used to repair a corrupted NetVoyant database.

 

Background:  

Many events can cause tables in a database to become corrupted.  Among these are: unexpected computer shutdown, hardware failures, and killed mysqld process while a database write is occurring.  When this happens, a database repair is required.

 

Environment:  

NetVoyant 7.1

 

Instructions: 

1.    If needed DBToolv3.exe is available for download here:
https://ftp.broadcom.com/user/downloads/pub/netqos/supporttools/releasedtools/DBToolv3.exe

2.    Open a command prompt

3.    Change directory to the location of dbtool.exe

4.    Run the command:

      a.    For NetVoyant, run 'dbtoolv3 repair nms2'

5.    Monitor the results.

 

Additional Information: 

-      If you are not able to monitor the results, you can send them to a file:
Run 'dbtoolv3 repair nms2 > repair.txt'.

 

-      Run the repair a second time if the initial run reports the following on any of the tables:
'info : Wrong bytesec: 0- 0- 0 at 0; Skipped'
If it still reports the message then further steps will be needed.  Please contact CA Support for more in depth repairs.

-      DBToolv3 can also be used to backup and restore the NetVoyant database.  Commandline syntax is demonstrated in the following screenshot:
