Moving the Inventory Database

Does anybody know what the steps are in moving a database to a different volume?
We are running Zenworks 6.5 sp3 on a netware 6.5 sp3 server. I want to move the database to a different volume on the same server because of space limitations on the current volume. I don't want to lose the current db and create a new one.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Does the Inventory database clean itself?

Scenario:
NW 6.5 SP5
eDir 8.7.3.8
ZfD 6.5 SP2
Issue:
Need to delete and reimport all wks in eDir.
Details:
All workstations are imported into eDir, and scanned by ZfD 6.5 Inventory services.
A number of the wks are (due to historical reasons) imported into wrong contexts,
and a number of them are imported with a wrong wks name too.
What happens with the Inventory database if I delete all imported wks objects,
and then reimports them with a new name, and some of them also into another OU?
Can I just do this, and thereafter start a full new inventory scan?
What will happen with the old database entries for the wks that will be imported into a new OU,
and with the wks that will import under another name..?
In other words, will the inventory database be cleansing itself for the old wks entries?

normally yes.. take a look at the documentation and the sync schedule of
the inventory service object.

Maintaining the Inventory Database

Does the Workstation Removal Process also remove the inventory associated
with the PC from the Inventory Database?
And if the inventory information stays after the Workstation has been
removed how do you clean up the database to remove the inventory
information of the Workstation that was removed from the database?
Im using the Sybase Database

> removed how do you clean up the database

no, removing the workstation does not remove inventory.

Can anyone give me the steps for moving the repository databases in 9.3.0?

We are in the 9.3.0 environment and I need to move the four repository databases for essbase, biplus and webanalysis/workspace to a new machine. I tested moving the databases and rerunning the config util, but I lost my sample reports I created earlier. Does anyone have a step by step procedure for moving the repositories?
Thanks,
-C.

If you are moving reports why don't you bulk export them from workspace and then import them into your target.
Are you talking about migrating the repository across different shared services environments, if so then I doubt you will have much luck with trying to migrate the workspace repository as it pretty tied in with shared services.
Cheers

Moving the Portal Database

I have attempted to move the portal database onto another host machine. When I move the database and point the portal at the database everything seems to work fine except for the administration area of the portal. When I try to navigate to the administration area I get an error. Can anyone help with a resolution for this?
Chris
error:
Server Error in '/portal' Application.
Runtime ErrorDescription: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine. Details:To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>

I did it a few times succesfull and this is (my) procedure:
1. stop the SAP system
2. detach th DB on the Source server
3. copy db+log files to the Target server
4. attach the db on the Target server
5. repair login/db user account following the steps:
- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/274188
OR
- http://blog3.daqureshi.com/archive/2008/12/16/11.aspx
6. update/change the file usr\sap\<sid>\sys\profile\default.prf
7. start the configtool and within the keystore change the jdbc connection parameters so that it points to the new DB Server
8. save this action!!!!
9. exit and restart the configtool and look if its connecting to the new DB Server
10. exit the confconfigtool.
11. start your SAP System
Good Luck!

Moving the mailbox database copy from one exchange server to another exchange server 2010 DAG

Hello Team
is it possible to the move the passive copy of database and logs from one server to another exchange server in the same DAG with out removing and deleting the mailbox database copies in exchange 2010
normaly procedure is
Remove the mailbox database copies and manually delete the .edb files and logs from the physical location and re-add the mailbox database copy to the new server in the DAG.
is that any way to achieve to move the passive database copy to another exchange 2010 server in the same DAG ?

From your note, you appear to have a two-member DAG (with a server hosting your active database, and a second hosting the passive copy), and you want to move your passive database copy from the current passive server to another. Your note
about what "the normal procedure is" isn't 100% correct - there are many ways to handle this task, and all can be considered "normal". Why not just add the third server to the DAG and
add a database copy on that third server? Once it is fully seeded, you can remove the current passive copy. This way, you never lose your redundancy.
Yes i can add the third and fourth serve in DAG , but i cannot add the mailbox database copies to the 3rd and 4th mailbox server in DAG as am using RTM version of exchange 2010 which is allowing to have only 5 database inclding mailbox datbase copies
and also currently my lab setup is two member dag (with a server hosting your active database,
and a second hosting the passive copy) in the same site named SITE A
and recently i have created new SITE B and included the 3rd and 4th DAG members in the same DAG
i want the mailbox database copies from the mailbox server database in SITE A to
Mailbox server database in SITE B as passive copy
That is why i want to move the mailbox database without deleting / removing it manually
Hope you understand my situation!

Interesting 'problem' after moving the WSUS database

Firstly I have checked the suggested topics but none of them exactly describe the problem I have encountered.
(this link just gives a 'post not found page: http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2009/09/23/how-to-move-sdfssdfdf-content-and-database-files-to-a-different-partition.aspx)
Okay, I have a SBS2011 server running on an HP Proliant server. The server has been dunning flawlessly for the last 2+ years. At deployment the WSUS content was initially located on the D drive. Free space on the C drive has dropped to 16GB and
as a precaution I decided to move the WSUS DB to the D drive too. I stopped the necessary ISS Admin, Update and WWW services and proceeded, using the SQL server management studio, to detach the DB, I moved (copy & paste) the DB to the
new disk and attached it the the SQL SMS. Nothing seemed to go wrong there, however, when opening the SBS console I am missing half of my information. The face that the necessary icons are there leads me to believe that the service is functioning
but just missing the computer info. If I click on a computer icon I can see the correct computer name.
Is there any way to fix this without deleting and reinstalling the entire WSUS service?
Thank you in advance for your time!
Please see the screenshot below

Initializing the Inventory Database on Sybase

Inventory Database Move

I think I posted this originally in the wrong thread so I thought posting it here would get a better response.
We have Zen 7 installed on a Netware 6.5 SP6 server. When ever the database goes to process the collected data it will from time to time abend the server. Which when it does that we take a hit on our matrixs so to stop the abends we commented out the inventory database.
What we would like to do is move the inventory database from the server it's on now to another one. We still have the current box collecting the data just not processing it.
I found one topic on here about moving the database to a different volume on the same server and have it but wasn't sure if the process for moving the database around on the same server would be sufficient since we want to move it completely off to a different server.
Any help would be appreciated.

C1 Inventory Database object

I've been trying to install ZDM services on a OES2 server and have been having all sorts of trouble. After numerous reinstalls, I've decided to install the parts one at a time until I found what wasn't working, and it ends up being the Inventory Database. I have performed a new install of the Inventory Database only, it creates the object in ConsoleOne, I can configure the properties of it, but when I try to do the Tools->Zen Inventory-> Configure DB, I keep getting a message saying that it is unable to connect, check database properties and make sure that it is running.
The only property that I have changed is changing the server name from DNS address to IP address, nothing else. I've checked the services on the server and novell-zdm-sybase is running, but I'm not seeing any log files in /var/log/novell/zenworks, only the logs from installation. Any ideas at where I should be looking next? Thanks!

They are running, and all of the services that I have installed are also running, but I still get the error. I have noticed that when I have a clean install with only OES2 and ZDM everything works, but I also want to have GWMobile on the same server and that is usually where I run in to trouble. The only changes that I've made is the apache listen.conf file to different ports so that GWMobile works on the server, but after installing ZDM I get a "cannot contact relay server" from the localhost when I try to access the login page, but that is another issue. It seems like I can either install GWM or ZDM on the server it is fine, but they don't seem to get along together. Any ideas for something else to check would be great. Thanks!

Sync Inventory Database

I'm running ZFD32 SP3 on a 51SP7 server. To sync the inventory database
with the nds one I ran startser ndslookupfordb which ran fine and created
a lok file. When I ran the dbdelete command and looked at the log, I found
that there were about 10 entries that resembled the following...
1020: workstation <WS object name> not deleted because it is corrupted in
the database...wsid=0.
Any ideas on how to remove these corrupted workstation objects from the
database would be greatly appreciated.

Inventory database

I have zenworks for desktops installed which I use to remote control and load software. I do not have the inventory database setup. Is this an add on part of zenworks which I have to purchase? If not is it easy to setup?

than you can easily use the zfd inventory..
the online documentation is quite good..
in general you reinstall zfd and just ADD the inventory part.
don't select the option to let it configure everything for you.
after the installation, you have to make changes to your server policy
configuring the database
and to create an inventory policy to get the inventory in the workstation

Unable to connect to inventory database ??

Hi,
Thanks for reading this post. I have a problem with ZFD3.2 inventory
that
is driving me crazy ... I have a Inventory system set up at one of our
customers with Netware 6 servers ZFD3.2 and an inventory database on Oracle. All systems are working. I see that the storer is updating
files
in the database. Now I want to do an Inventory query from ConsolOne. I
go
to a workstation of the customer and start ConsoleOne. I do tools-
configureDB and get an error message saying "Unable to connect to the
inventory database - Check if database is up and running". Next I take
my
own laptop and do the same thing. It works, I see "succesfully
connected
to the database". OK, so I copy the ConsoleOne from my laptop to the customer's computer. Same error... So there must be something on my
laptop
that's not on the customers computer. But what ?? What am I missing
here ?
regards, Ren

Hi Kai,
Sorry for the delayed answer. My cable internet provider decided he
had
provided enough internet and my connection was gone for two days...
I have tried to run it from the server but this made no difference. It
seems
to be related to the workstation you run ConsoleOne on. I've always
thought
that it was only depended on the snapins, but it seems that there's
more to
it..... I've tried windows2000 and windows XP prof with clients 4.83,
4.83
SP1, and 4.83 sp2.
When I run the consoleone copy on my laptop (winxp prof with cl 4.83)
it
works fine, but when I copy the consoleone directory to another
workstation
I get an error.
regards, Ren
