DS Repair

Use this page to view problems and back up or clean up your DIB sets.

This is a server-centric feature. In other words, this feature is only available on the local server where iMonitor is running. If you need to access this feature on another server, you must switch to the iMonitor running on that server.

You must be the equivalent of Administrator of the server or a console operator on the server where you are trying to access the DS Repair page. For this reason, you must first log in so your credentials can be verified before you can access information on this page.

To repair a single object, select the object in iMonitor before you click DS Repair. Selecting a replica or partitions root before you access DS Repair will let you repair all objects with that partition or that single object.

Downloads
Retrieve repair-related files from the file server. You will not be able to access DSREPAIR.LOG if DS Repair is running. You will only see this page if there are files to download.

Delete Old DIB Set
Click the red X to delete an old DIB set. This option is available only if there are archived DIBs of if there are DIBs from an older version of eDirectory™.

Warning: This action is irreversible. When you select this option, the old DIB set will be purged from the file system.

NDS Repair Switches
Use the NDS Repair switches to fix problems, check for problems, or create a backup of your database. The options available on this page are determined by the selections you make prior to accessing this page. For example, if you browse a Partition object, then click Repair, the Replica Repair option is shown. If you browse a non-partition object before clicking Repair, Single Object Repair is presented as an option instead.

Click Advanced Options for more options. You will not need to enter information in the Support Options field unless you are directed to do so by Novell® Technical Support.

Periodic Information
Use these options to schedule a repair. We do not recommend scheduling regular repairs unless your organization has a policy requiring them. This option is available when you click Advanced Options.
