page corruption found when enabling TDE, but DBCC CHECKDB ahows no errors

  • I need help with fixing corrupted page.

    I've got into this trouble yesterday , when it was required to enable TDE on one of the DB copies. The TDE encryption hanged with encryption_state=2 and percent_complete=0. Records were added into suspect_pages and backup with CHECKSUM failed with error.

    That's where I get so far and where I ran out of ideas how to recover the corrupted page:

    1.

    Query "select * from msdb.dbo.suspect_pages" returns:

    database_idfile_idpage_idevent_typeerror_countlast_update_date

    5119193112014-02-17 23:19:47.997

    5119193312014-02-17 23:19:48.010

    2.

    dbcc traceon(3604)

    go

    dbcc page([MyDB],1,19193,3)

    go

    returns:

    DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.

    Msg 2514, Level 16, State 5, Line 3

    A DBCC PAGE error has occurred: Invalid page type - dump style 3 not possible.

    3. DBCC CHECKDB returns no errors.

    4. DB is verion is SQL2008R2.

    5. Db option "Page Verify" set to "TORN_PAGE_DETECTION".

    6. Database recovery is Simple. And I found that this page was corrupted since the beginning of the time. So I don't have a healthy copy or good backup for this DB.

    The database size is just about 8GB. Most likely it will not be a problem to dump database , recreate it and reload the whole db.

    Unfortunately I have about 15 instances of this database with all sorts of derived processes like replication,.. configured.

    It will take me forever to reload and setup all these instances. So best solution for me is to find out how to recover this page.

    My question is: Do I have a single chance to fix this page? Or maybe it is relatively safe to drop or even manually overwrite the page.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Toothpicker!

    Did you ever find a solution for this particular issue? I am in the exact same boat at a new company. There is a corrupt page in a seed db that DBCC CHECKDB didn't recognize and this has been used to create a gazillion other databases which are all unable to be encrypted.

    Thanks,

  • There is a corrupt page in a seed db that DBCC CHECKDB didn't recognize

    Consistency checks only run on the pages in the database that are allocated. If a page isn't allocated to anything, then the 8192 bytes of it are meaningless and can't be interpreted. As long as a page is allocated, it will be consistency checked by DBCC CHECKDB, including testing the page checksum, if it exists. A corruption can seem to 'disappear' if a corrupt page is deallocated at the time a DBCC CHECKDB runs.

    To fix the corruption issue of your database page you can take the help of third party SQL repair tool[/url]. Download the demo version first to see if the tool fits your need.
