About this forum...

  • Hi,

    I’m part of the SQL Server product team at Microsoft and I’m an expert on corruption problems, their causes and how to rectify them. I wrote DBCC CHECKDB and repair for SQL Server 2000 and 2005 so I have a lot of useful knowledge to share. I’m currently the Lead Program Manager for the Storage Engine.

    I’m happy to answer any questions you have on corruptions and disaster recovery and I can decipher any CHECKDB output. To make things easy for us all, please start a new thread for your issue and include the following info if at all possible:

    1) What symptoms you’re seeing

    2) The output from ‘DBCC CHECKDB (yourdbname) WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS, NO_INFOMSGS’

    3) When the problem first occurred and what steps you have already taken

    4) The SQL Server version (including SP and any hotfixes)

    5) Whether you have a comprehensive disaster recovery strategy, including usable backups

    6) Whether you’ve checked the SQL Server errorlog and Windows event logs for evidence of h/w problems

    7) Whether you’ve made an recent h/w changes

    8) Whether all your firmware/drivers are up-to-date

    Thanks

    After EMC SRDF sync, MSDB DB will go in a SUSPECT STATE. I am not an expert in SQL troubleshooting but you post some queries so I can run them on our servers. We are experiencieng database issues on a ms clustering. 

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Anyone with experiences syncing up database over the WAN using SRDF? I'm not an expert in SQL but when we do an SRDF, the msdb database in <target cluster> remains in a "suspect state". We manually have to restore MSDB database to the target database. Any ideas regarding EMC SRDF? This is not a full SRDF, it's a DELTA SRDF (Updates to existing databases) syncing up database accross the WAN. A full SRDF will take days so we just sync up updates.

    Assumptions:

    - We are using MS Cluster on both sites

    - Both sites have over 4 Terabytes of DB data

    - We unmount the DB to flush any cache before SRDF (Source unmount)

    - Once SRDF is done, we break the sync/split SRDF and bring one site online. Source Site is OK but the Target Site has corrupted or suspect databases.

    Please help! What are we doing wrong?
