EWrror Messages from XOsoft when I run DBCC CHECKDB

  • We use XOsoft for our DR solution.

    I was testing 'dbcc checkdb ('dbname') with all_errormsgs,no_infomsgs,physical_only' against one of our databases, when XOsoft issued the following error:

    Event Type:Error

    Event Source:CAXOsoftEngine

    Event Category:Replicator

    Event ID:2

    Date:23/09/2011

    Time:14:39:59

    User:N/A

    Computer:XXXXXX

    Description:

    Scenario id:: 468902275

    Host:: 2

    Host name:: XX.XX.XX.XX

    Time:: 09/23/11 14:39:59

    Type:: ERROR

    Event ID:: ER00059

    Message:: Unable to create undo file for remove event k:/folder1/filename.mdf:MSSQL_DBCC33[L:/XOSpool/spool_25000/468902275_2_undo/39184_0/del_39185.tmp]

    Is it necessary to stop XOsoft prior to running DBCC CHECKDB?

  • You shouldn't have to stop any HA/DR product to run CHECKDB.

    This looks like a bug in XOSoft that it doesn't cope with the NTFS alternate streams that CHECKDB uses by default. You should contact XOSoft.

    Thanks

  • Thanks for the reply Paul.

    I have been Googling this scenario for a while now, and I'm surprised that no-one else has mentioned coming across this issue in the past.
