Please help: fail to recover after system crash

Hi all,
I tried to start our directory server after system crash due to hardware failure. Error log shows:
[17/Apr/2010:01:35:15 +0800] - WARNING<20488> - Backend Database - conn=-1 op=-1 msgId=-1 - Detected Disorderly Shutdown last time Directory Server was running, recovering database.
However, the recover process seems never ends (I waited overnight...). While CPU usage of ns-slapd grows continuously, the server has no response (e.g. ldapsearch waits forever). I make copies of db before starting ns-slapd and thus I tried several attempts:
1. start as it is.
2. remove db/log* and start
3. remove db/log* and db/__db* and start
4. remove db/* except db/NetscapeRoot and start
All attempts have the same result - recovery goes on continuously.
Then I tried to remove db/* and run restoreconfig with an old configuration backup. Then ns-slapd can be started. However, when I do ldapsearch testing:
ldapsearch -h localhost -v -D"cn=directory manager" -b "" -s base objectclass= namingContexts
ldap_init( localhost, 389 )
Bind Password:
ldap_simple_bind_s: Invalid credentials
I'm sure the password is correct, and also tried modifying nsslapd-rootpw in config/dse.ldif and corresponding userPassword in configuration file created by saveconfig before restoreconfig.
Again, all attempts have the same result - invalid credentials. I can see BIND cn=directory manager attempts in logs/access, but also see following line in logs/errors:
[17/Apr/2010:21:59:08 +0800] - INFORMATION - conn=-1 op=-1 msgId=-1 - get_entry: entry cn=directory manager not found (error 32)
I'd like to know:
* if there any other method to make recovery process complete successfully?
* if there is anything missed/wrong in the restoreconfig process?
I tried several days but can't make it. Would anyone please help?
Sorry that we're still using old versions 5.2 patch 5 on Solaris 5.9 on v440 machines...
Thank you very much.
/ST Wong ([email protected])

I hope you have a export of LDAP data backup in LDIF format, if so, please stop the instance and remove all the files from your db directory which includes .db3 and log.* and __db* and then do a ldif2db.
Once import is complete, start the slapd process.

XSERVE RAID Disk Failed to Recover After Reset...

Greetings,
I've got an PATA XSERVE RAID with 14x250GB Dries setup as RAID 5.
Last week event monitor reported that Disk 14 Reported An Error Command 0x35 ERROR 0x10 STATUS 0x51 LBA 0X3978B80.
Not having a spare Drive available, I ordered one and Reconditioned the Raid Using the RAID Admin Tool. 3 days later it reported all as well. This morning my new ADM arrived and before I could replace Drive 14, it started generating basically the same Error.
So I swapped in the New Drive, and it began to rebuild, now here's the kicker...
After a few minutes it started giving me this ERROR:
DISK 14 FAILED TO RECOVER AFTER RESET. RETRYING
then...
DATA WAS LOST DURING A REBUILD.
It continued to repeat these messages until it Finally reported:
DISK 14 OFFLINE
So, I thought it must be a bad Drive, So I figured let me kill 2 birds with 1 stone and swap out a drive I had working fine in an XSERVE. So I ejected the new drive from the XSERVE RAID and Replaced it directly with the Drive from the XSERVE (Also 250GB) And...
It did the Same exact thing, same errors, etc.
So what's going on?
RAID ADMIN reports all Components OK
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
LJS

OK, So replying to my own issues here...
So I've replaced the Lower Controller and updated the firmware on that Controller.
The I ejected disk 14, waited a minute or 2, then re-inserted the Disk, then made it available for use.
It attempted to add to the existing RAID and the errors started all over again (See 1st post)
So apparently it wasn't the controller.
So I figured it must be the RAID Set itself, so to be sure, I swapped Drive 8 with Drive 14.
Deleted the ARRAY and Re-Created it, it's building now and Now Drive 8 is offline, So it would appear to be the drive, but I already replaced it with a known working drive, a new one from Apple, and then one directly from my XServe (See 1st post)
So I'm just baffled at this point.

Please Help , I Need semicolon ; after TABLESPACE "MFEED_DATA"

Hi All,
please Help , I Need semicolon ; after TABLESPACE "MFEED_DATA"
as I am getting ; like below example
select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', 'A') || ';' As Result
from dual;
CREATE TABLE "MFEED"."A"
( "A" NUMBER
) PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 NOCOMPRESS LOGGING

PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT)
TABLESPACE "MFEED_DATA"
regards,

Hi,
well, I don´t know if this works for any table, but I tried two of mine and it was ok:
select substr(dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', '<table_name>'), 1,
length(dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', '<table_name>') || ';')-4)|| ';' As Result
from dual;
If the string gets too long, you must use dbms_lob - functions for string manipulation, but for "normally sized" tables, it should work.

Workflow continue after system crash.

Dear Workflow expert,
I have customized the standard leave request workflow to a 2 level approval workflow. However, sometimes the workflow will suddenly stop without any error and I need to go to tcode SWPC (execute workflow after system crash) to continue the workflow.
Anyone can tell me in what circumstances that the workflow will fall into this category, because it like happens quite frequently.

Please help !!! After installing 3.1.1 restore failing with error code 2002

Hi All,
I bought my ipod touch 8GB and received on 24th Sep 2009. On the same day at around 18:30, I downloaded itunes in my laptop (IBM ThinkPad - Win XP OS).
Everything was fine, I did sync my ipod with itunes. After an hour or so, I got a popup in my itunes to download a latest software update which was OS 3.1.1, I guess. I downloaded that and it took almost 80 minutes. Then I connected my ipod to the laptop, itunes throwed an alert saying
"itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes."
But restore is failing with restore error code 2002. I tried 44 times with all the guidelines mentioned in Apple support site. Restarted ipod, laptop, complete uninstall of itunes and every software, reinstalled itunes and everything, switch between different USB ports and tried everything but nothing worked.The ipod always shows the connect to itunes symbol and nothing else. Alas!! I am writing this. It is seriously very discouraging for the apple product users. I had high hopes with apple’s products. I could not use my new ipod even for an hour.
Please help. The below log is being created after every failure.
I know the below log can help the software guys in finding the issue

Help please, my Powerbook wont start after a crash...

Any help would be much appreciated as I'm in absolute panic! My Powerbook crashed after a modem/internet error and wont restart - the little light on the front 'breathes' until you open it and then it goes out when open. The restart/power button when held down will chime, then nothing happens - no restart. No lights or anything. The battery is charging, I've also tried taking the battery off and then restarting but still nothing. Am I not doing something really obvious? Can anyone point to what has happened, or is happening? Is it anything serious? Please help! Many thanks, JP

You could start in Single User Mode and do a File System Check (fsck).
Start the computer and hold down the s key until it starts.... it will be a text based interface. It should happen rather quickly.
After it is done displaying the start-up text.. you can type
fsck -f
remember the space between the k and the -
hit Return
you will have to type in your password...
It will check the disk.. and let you know if there were any errors.
If there are.. run the command again until it says "the file system is ok"
When you are done, type
reboot
then hit return
You computer should reboot.

? How to recover APPS from iTunes after system crash

I think we need a sticky for this.
Is there a tutorial or instructions to recover ALL your iPhone/iPod Touch apps from your PC or iTunes after a system crash and iTunes is no longer accessible even after uninstall and reinstallation? I heard one can call Apple Support and have them do a one time reset but for people like me who have more than one iTunes account that may be a problem since it would require several accounts.

Ok....i have some good news, I believe. Using King_Penguin's link and Apple's KB seems to have worked. I tried this under another windows profile on the same machine. The TRICK is to hold down CTRL W when opening up iTunes. This will prompt you to tell iTunes where the library is. The key is to copy everything from your My MUSIC\ITUNES folder. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
What is throwing me off is there is another option to, "Create LIBRARY". Not sure how that works. But the instructions are here: When you need to restore your backed up iTunes Library from your external hard drive to your computer, follow these steps:
1.Quit iTunes.
2.Locate your external hard drive.
Mac: On the Desktop or Finder sidebar.
Windows: In My Computer
3.Drag the iTunes folder (backed up earlier) from your external hard drive to whatever location you desire on your internal hard drive. It is recommended that you choose the default location for the iTunes folder, which is:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista or Windows 7: \Users\username\My Music\

Restore DB2 after System Crash .No backup available

Hi Everyone,
We have a severe problem at this moment, please let me know any suggestion for this
Issue :
The operating system have crashed on the application server, and reboots itself all the trails to restore have failed, no backup of System / Database / Snapshots of the system available
Intial Symptomps :
The application Server was rebooting itself
Backup :
No Backup available ( System / SAP )
Steps Taken:
we have finally restored the data / Drive snapshots and have attached this to a new system ( Windows 2008 R2 standard Datacenter ) , at this moment we have all the datafiles/ Logs retrived,
Is there any solution to build a system using this raw data ?
Is it possible to create a backup from the node directories ?
Is it possible to create a new system with samebuild and attach thedata file and process further to retrieve the old system
Can anyone help to describe any other possible option and share your thoughts
Regards
Tim

Thanks Everyone for your Quick Inputs, and sorry for delayed response,
well the System is Production System, we finally restored the system by fixing the root Volume,
However when we have contacted SAP, SAP have suggested to follow the below strategy
Create a Blank DB,
Use db2relocatedb command
Move the Log Files and Data Files
Now from this Database, Create a Backup
Restore the Backup on a SAP instance,
The below approch is also tried parallely ,
System Copy from Development is done on a new box
important thing is we need to maintain the same drive / Diriectory structure, and later the replace the Log Files and Data Files ( Drives / Directories ) with the Production Data, in this approach we didnt maintain the structure so the dispatcher kept going down , however I didnt give a second try as my root volume was fixed, will try and update you later..

Problems Accessing Photos After System Crash

Hi,
Last night my system inexplicably crashed after working fine all day. I called Applecare, and they told me to clear everything and start from scratch. I had just used backup the night before so everything came over fine. I'm just having problems with my photos.
How I noticed my system crashed was that my iPhoto library disappeared, and when I went to open the files manually, they would not open either, saying they were corrupt. I went to DiskUtility and it wouldn't fix it either, so that's how I had to reboot everything from my backup drive.
So I open iPhoto and the pictures seem to be there, but they are "squished." When I click on them to open, the edit screen is blank. My albums also did not survive the reinstall (even though my playlists from iTunes did). I went to open some photos directly from my "iPhoto Library" folder, and they open fine in Preview. So I thought I would trash all the fake pics currently in iPhoto and import the good ones over. When I try to do that, it says the photos are unreadable or corrupt, but they work fine in Preview! (which they did not last night before I reinstalled post-crash).
Please help me save my 4000 photos!

It may not be a 'glitch' in the actual update so much as it could be that the update did not go through correctly.
Restoring the device as suggested is the best way to isolate exactly where the issue lies.
You can start with a first step of attempting a Hard Reset (Home Button + Sleep/Wake Button for 5-10s), however if this does not rectify the issue the next step is to attempt a Restore or alternatively force an update again of the device.

Reward offered for helping me restore ITUNES after a crash

please help. I have looked everywhere on my PC and am using windows XP. It tells me it has been defaulted to a MY MUSIC folder but cannot find that either. Please. If you can help restore my ITUNES I will make it worth your time. I have paypal. thanks. I will be more that happy to reward some one. Am at wits end.

I remember a lot of the songs I had. I did not know the computer had a problem (ITUNES was open at time of crash)and I saw that the screen was blue and had writing on it. I decided to shut it down. After 5 minutes I rebooted and discovered my itunes library had vanished. The logo is still on the desktop but all it says is that itunes cant be found unless you go to default MY MUSIC folder. It wasnt there. Jeff

Please Help: iMac black screens after startup logo + spinning wheel no cursor).

Hi, guys.
I'm in a fair bit of a desperate situation; my iMac's screen seems to shut down every time after the white startup screen. The Apple logo appears, & the progress wheel begins spinning, then after a while - when it would usually then go to the gray login screen - it would, instead, go black. I can tell that the machine is still on (I can still hear it clicking as it does during processing) but I'm unable to determine anything else. Nothing is visible on the screen - not even the cursor - it's as if the display had turned off completely. I'm not sure if the login screen sits beneath that black screen (I have tried to log on by typing my login details in blindly, but even if it does log in, it's hard to determine what state the computer is in without seeing the screen.
I have tried the PRAM reset (holding CMD+OPT+P+R) during both the white startup screen, & the black screen to no avail. It seems unresponsive because I don't hear any additional chimes that I've been told should be heard during a PRAM reset attempt. I can't even be sure that the command is being inputted correctly because the light on my wireless keyboard remains off during the process.
I've tried rebooting over & over again; the results are the same.
The steps that led to the problem occurred thusly:
1 - I was trying to clear some memory from my current session, so I scanned through my active processes, quitting anything which seemed to be eating up considerable amounts of memory.
2 - One particular process I quit was 'launchd' which was functioning under my profile username.
3 - After quitting launchd, all opened apps seemed to close, & it looked like I was forcibly logged off the machine. The screen froze during this point, & I decided to do a hard reboot to log back in.
4 - The problem began after this hard reboot; startup seemed to occur as per usual; white screen > apple logo > progress wheel > and then suddenly, a black screen where the login screen should be.
I've shown a flashlight into the screen while it's black & it seems well & truly like the display has shut down while the iMac continues in the background. I have had issues relating to my screen going black before, but they were random & intermittent; they didn't occur without fail during the exact same time immediately after startup, & could be remedied by using the CTRL+OPT+EJT keys.
I am on an iMac 2010, 27", using I believe Lion OSX. I am unable to recall additional specifications while the problem persists.
Could anybody please help me? I'm quite desperate; I was in the middle of some urgent work that I need to get back to as soon as possible.
Thank you I'm advance to anyone with advice on how I can go about fixing this.
,c.

Please help how to recover lost photos on 5S without backup

The initial update to iOS 8 failed and I used iTools to download the latest 8.0.2. Now my 5S goes to normal but all of the things were deleted after upgrade, especially the photos. I have to show the prototypes to my client tomorrow! How can I get the photos back ??? It's urgent! Please help !

It's sad to hear that, @Nrkpeomva1. Backup is always recommended with iOS device either with iTunes or iCloud. Then you can easily restore your lost files when needed. I am not 100% sure the following method works for you, at least you can give it a try. As I have used that method to retrive my deleted photos and ebooks successfully. A list of brief steps, more details please refer to this blog post:
Connect your iPhone to a PC or Mac (preferred).
Scan your iPhone disk with that app. Wait about an half hour for scanning.
Preview the files the app retrieved and select a local disk to store them.
Leave your comment here if there was any issue about that.
