Primary Server - No Content role all of a sudden

Hi
We have ZCM Version 10.3.0 running on SLES10 Servers in our setup.
We have 2 primary Servers, but all of a sudden the content role has disappeared on the first Server. So if you click Devices | Servers | SLES1 | Content (tab) it returns:
'No content status to display because device does not have a content role'
If I click Configuration | Primary Server Replication it only lists the second Server and not the first one.
Under Configuration | Server Hierarchy we also have the Sat Servers listed under both Primary Servers so nothing has changed.
My colleague noticed the problem adding a new bundle and we saw disk space on the first Server was around 1.3GB. So I cleared some space and it is now around 10GB free.
Since then I have created a new bundle and within the ZCC.LOG I have seen the following messages appear:
06 Mar 2013 08:36:25 ReplicationBaseSet..423 :Current replication mode set to: UNKNOWN
06 Mar 2013 08:45:28 ReplicationBaseSet..423 :Current replication mode set to: REPLICATION_ALL_SERVERS
06 Mar 2013 08:49:20 ReplicationBaseSet..423 :Current replication mode set to: REPLICATION_ALL_SERVERS
06 Mar 2013 09:36:25 ReplicationBaseSet..423 :Current replication mode set to: UNKNOWN
I have also tried renaming the content-repo folder on SLES1 and it does recreate itself and copy the content back across showing replication is working.
Finally if I run novell-zenworks-configure -c SystemStatus this error gets returned:

I would recommend an SR.
This could happens sometimes on 10.3.0, but was years ago in one of the
10.3 updates.

  • Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them as the area is just left blank! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

    Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them in the content area! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • MDM 7.1 SP05 server is going down all of a sudden : Any Inputs?

    Hi All,
    I am working on SAP MDM 7.1 SP05 and my repository is going down all of a sudden and when I get in to Log I see the following message :
    The specified value for the Server Listening Port (0) is outside the range of available listening ports for system use. Please use only values between 49152 and 65535.
    I went through the SAP Note and we upgraded all the components as per the guidlines... Does any one been through this issue, please share how to get rid of it.
    Thanks
    Rajeev.

    HI,
    we have MDM server port, MDS Port, MDSS Port, MDIS port..
    all these ports are differnet... as we are integrated with other applicaitons.. other applicaitons are accessing MDM using MDM server port....
    Apart from this wondering need to dig down .... we are not sure where the issue is... why MDM server getting restarted...
    Your inputs are appreciated.
    Regards,

  • Snow Leopard Server running extremely slow all of a sudden!!

    Hi, I'm not a qualified server technician but am currently trying my best to run a server in a Secondary School! Please help, need to fix ASAP.
    So basically we've got a Mac Pro running Snow Leopard server which has become incredibly slow in the past week. Nothing has changed in our department to trigger this. Here's everything I know so far...
    - If I try to log on to the admin account when "Some Network Accounts Are Available", log on will take under a minute. If I try to log on to the admin account when the light goes green and "Network Accounts Are Available" log on will take forever and eventually just crash and which point I have to just force a shutdown and try again.
    - When I can log on, some aspects of the computing seems fast and other aspects are really slow. For example, a few programs open as soon as I log on no problem, however a simple spotlight search or trying to open Sytem Preferences will crash the computer completely.
    - Have tried booting in Safe Mode, and everything ran fast and how it's mean to but once restarting and booting normally the problems remained.
    Sorry for the lack of knowledge!!
    Thanks in advance.

    Your comment indicates "crash the computer"?  Do you mean that OS X Server itself fails, and you have to reboot?  Or that the application crashes, and you have to restart it?
    The following are some general approaches toward gathering some data:
    Launch Console.app from Applications > Utilities and see if there are blocks of repeating errors.
    Launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the following harmess, diagnostic command:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    After entering an administrative password and possibly seeing a one-time informational message about sudo, you should see some network configuration information and then an indication that no changes are required, or that there are DNS or network errors.
    Boot from the Snow Leopard installation DVD and run a volume verification pass using Disk Utility, this from the Utilities menu of the installation disl.
    FWIW...
    If the applications or OS X Server are crashing, then you're generally heard toward either a reinstallation of the software, or a hardware repair, or quite possibly a combination of the two.
    Forcing a hard shutdown can lead to corruptions, depending on exactly what's going on when the power drops out; that's probably best left as a last-resort approach and one best avoided.

  • VIP still reachable even if primary server farm is down

    Hi,
    I want to make sure that the a VIP is not PING-able anymore when the primary server farm is down (all servers are down).
    For that I have the following configuration :
    serverfarm host NCL_FARM_TEST
    probe NCL_PROBE_HTTP
    rserver CHPAUN028 443
    inservice
    policy-map type loadbalance http first-match L7_POLICY_NCL_TEST_HTTP

    While testing this feature, I realize that the VIP is still reachable (PING), even if the server in the farm is in PROBE_FAILED status (For test, I have only one srserver in the farm).
    Here is the server farm status, while PING is still possible :

    In the documentation, the following is written regarding the command "vip loadbalance icmp-reply active primary-inservice" it is stated that the ACE shold discard ping packets if all servers in the primary server farm are down.

    Gilles,
    I have effectively four diferent policy maps :
    - one for PROD when the client arrives withh HTTP
    - one for PROD when the client arrives with HTTPS
    - one for TEST when the client arrives with HTTP
    one for TEST when the client arrives with HTTPS
    However, the PROD and the TEST environemnts use different server farms. I am testing the icmp-reply feature on the TEST environment. In the TEST environment, both Layer-7 policy maps use the same server farm.
    Here are the four polici maps :
    policy-map type loadbalance http first-match L7_POLICY_NCL_PROD_HTTP

  • CUC 8.5.1 Both Servers Have Primary Server Status

    Found out that this occurred from rebooting the servers to fast. Fix is to reboot the pub first and wait for it to completely boot up. Then reboot the sub after.
    I still had to fix the database using the console commands:
    utils dbreplication clusterreset
    You can use this command to debug database replication. However, you should only use it if you have already tried utils dbreplication reset all, and it failed to restart replication on the cluster. This command will tear down and rebuild replication for the entire cluster. After using this command, you must restart each subscriber server. After all subscriber servers have been restarted, you must go to the publisher server and issue the CLI command utils dbreplication reset all.
    Command Syntax
    utils dbreplication clusterreset
    Usage Guidelines
    Before you run this command, run the command utils dbreplication stop first on all subscribers servers and then on the publisher server.
    Requirements
    Command privilege level: 0
    Allowed during upgrade: No
    utils dbreplication dropadmindb
    This command drops the Informix syscdr database on any server in the cluster.
    Command Syntax
    utils dbreplication dropadmindb
    Usage Guidelines
    You should run this command only if database replication reset or cluster reset fails and replication cannot be restarted.
    Requirements
    Command privilege level: 0
    Allowed during upgrade: No
    utils dbreplication forcedatasyncsub
    This command forces a subscriber server to have its data restored from data on the publisher server.
    Use this command only after you have run the utils dbreplication repair command several times, but the utils dbreplication status command still shows non-dynamic tables that are not in sync
    Just have to follow the instructions when prompted.

  • Exchange server 2013 content filter rejecting all incoming messages as spam.

    Hello All,
    Today out of the blue our Exchange server 2013 install started rejecting any inbound message as spam. It first started with only one user not being able to receive any mail because of this anomaly and
    then after 12 or so hours all users were getting their mail rejected.
    I currently had the threshold set to 5 on external messages only. Internal is disabled.
    I have tried setting the threshold to 8 and 9, and rebooted the server after restarting
    all services just to make sure everything reset. Even dished out a IISRESET just in case. Whatever I tried still does not work.
    The install is a stand alone server facing the outside world (no edge server) living
    in a 2 domain controller environment with a share point farm thrown in (ESXI5.5 environment)
    Everything works just fine and dandy if I disable the content filter all together. Not seeing anything in the application logs out of the ordinary. Everything was working great and the same settings I used on this server worked well for a totally different
    server that runs just fine.
    Any ideas?

     This is what it is set at now. Completely disabled. It worked fine for quite some time filtering out spam pretty nicely then one day everyone's mail was being rejected as spam by the content filtering agent. I know of someone else who also had this
    issue except their box was running 2008R2 with EX2007. They too disabled the content filter as it was giving them too many problems with mail being rejected.

  • ZCM 11.2 new primary server - How do I

    Hi,
    We currently have a ZCM 11.2 install sitting on a Windows Server 2003 32bit. I have a new server running Windows 2008 64bit which I want to move the ZCM install to. I have looked at the various disaster recover scenarios as provided by novells documentation 11.2 disaster recovery reference but dont see in "replacing the primary server with a secondary server" a supported option of going from Windows server 2003 32bit to Windows server 2008 64bit.
    I see this is supported in the replacing primary with a new server (eg same IP etc) but this is not the scenario I wish to follow.
    Is my direction to simply install another copy of 11.2 as a secondary primary? on my 2008 64bit, go into existing management zone, follow the directions in the above reference doc in section 2.1.
    I am wondering though with the secondary primary (2008 64bit) how do I go about moving the internal sybase from the old primary across to the new secondary. It has a reference to how to move the internal to and external sybase but I want the secondary primary (which will be the new primary) to have an internal sybase database like the old primary.
    Any help appreciated.

    Yes, that would Be ideal as it was / is my primary DSFW onsite & DNS. So the new ZCM Box would have a different name & IP.
    My thought was bring up a Second Primary in the exiting ZONE. Get it functioning / updated. (That's been an issue as well, but that will be another thread). Look at doing a DB /Content migration to the new server and shutting down the ZCM services on the old...I am sure I am missing some stuff....
    What other options do we have? I am all ears....I am assuming you / we can not do the "Import/Upgrade" routine to the OVA.

    If so, you will need to rename and change the IP address of one of them.
    We can think through different options.

  • Making a Primary Server a Peer

    I am trying to follow the instructions from Zenworks 10 Configuration management system administration reference - to move a Primary server back to a peer.
    I am rolling out a 5000+ workstation Zen 10 school district and moved one of the servers into a child role attempting to troubleshoot a different issue. When I decided to move it back, I discovered contrary to the documentation the "move" feature in server hierachy stays disabled when I select my child primary server. The instructions indicate that I would check the child primary server and use the "move" feature to set the server back up as a peer. Has anyone else seen this and found a way to move a server back into a peer relationship???

  • CUC 10.0.1 cluster status stuck in Split Brain Recovery (SBR) on Primary server - HA reports fine.

    Hi,
    Have a 10.01.11900 CUC cluster and everything is working fine (no one having issues with voice mail, etc) but the cluster status reports is not consistent. 
    DBreplication is showing 2 on both servers. 
    Primary unity server cluster status shows Primary/split brain recovery.
    HA Unity server cluster status shows Primary/Secondary.
    utils diagnose test - everything tests fine except the tomcat_connectors test.
    test - tomcat_connectors   : Failed - The HTTPS port is not responding to local requests.  Please collect all of the Tomcat logs for root cause analysis: file get activelog tomcat/logs/*
    We've shutdown the HA server and rebooted primary, and then waited awhile after primary was back up/active before bringing the HA server back up and still same.
    We reset DB replication and same. 
    On the HA server I made the HA primary and the cluster status flipped to Seconday/Primary and I then made primary the primary again, but the primary server cluster status always shows Split Brain Recovery for the secondary/HA server. 
    No core dumps on either server and all services are started. 
    Any one seen this before or have any thoughts?  I have a TAC Case on this but so far in same boat. 
    Would the utils cuc cluster renegotiate command help? Did not replace a server so don't really want to overwrite data to publisher server. Issue seems to be with the publisher since HA shows fine but not sure. I don't want to lose messages/etc so don't want really want to run these commands.  
    Thanks.

    Ok, thanks.
    The SRM logs indicate the Connection Digital Networking Replication Agent service is not running, however when I start it it stops right away and the cuReplicator log states digital networking is not enabled. 
    From SRM Log:
    23:47:20.100 |17755,,,SRM,7,<svcmon> checkServiceStatus: started service monitoring
    23:47:20.100 |17755,,,SRM,7,<svcmon> Service Status: 1 service(s) not running. Service name(s):

    From Replicator log:

    23:42:59.208 HDR|09/14/2014 ,Significant
    23:42:59.208 |28914,,,CuReplicator,0,Digital Networking is not enabled. Replicator will stop now.
    There is no digital networking setup to other unity systems, and only one location. 
    Also, the Server role manager can't be restarted from CLI or the GUI so either root or a server reboot. 
    I compared it to another CUC cluster and deactivated the Digital Networking service and the SRM logs seem happier now, will wait a bit and see if it clears the SBR status up. 

  • Satellite Server traffic v Primary Server traffic

    I recently did a packet trace on a workstation and noticed a lot of traffice going to the primary servers and not just the satellite server.
    I have a 10.3.3 environment with Windows 2003 servers and Full SQL 2005. A Windows XP workstation as a satellite server. That satellite server has Content, Authentication and Collection configures. It also has a Closest Server Rule set to a CIDR /16 IP address.
    I am not sure why, but the workstation seems to hit the primary server first and even another primary server second. Then during login it does seem to hit the satellite server a bit but it hits the primary server just as much and like I said earlier it seems to hit another primary server that isn't configured for that site. I do have content on all Primary servers so I understand it hitting these servers some, but during authentication and during content retrieval I am confused at why it wouldn't be smacking the satellite server to no end and not the primary servers.
    I need to make sure I have satellite servers and primary server configured correctly due to connection issues. Please, any help on configuration would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Migrate 2012 SP1 CU3 Primary Server to a new machine?

    Because of some issues I am having with my current primary site server, I would like to bring up a new server and decommission the old. 
    The old server is running on 2008 R2 and the new server will run on 2012 R2.
    Right now, I have two servers running CM 2012 SP1 CU3.  I plan to upgrade the entire hierarchy to 2012 R2 before I decommission the old server.
    Primary Site Server Site System Roles – Distribution Point, Endpoint Protection Point, Management Point, Reporting Services Point, Site Server, Site System
    Second Server Roles – Application Catalog, Distribution Point, Fallback Status Point, Management Point, Site System, Software Update Point, State Migration Point
    Can someone please help me understand the process that I should follow to make this successful?
    1 - Bring up the new server
    2 - Configure all settings on the new server
    3 – Install Site System Roles on the new server
    4 – Add SMS Provider to the new server
    5 – Uninstall Site Server Roles from old server
    What am I not thinking about?
    Is there a better way to do this?
    Thanks for any help

    Hi,
    For the Second Server with roles that could be an option to install a new server, and move the roles to that server.
    For the Primary Site server there is no possibiltity to setup a new Primary Site server and transfer the role to that server as you can with the other roles. The way to do that would be to do a backup of Configuration Manager on the Server running 2008
    r2 and restore it on the server running Server 2012 r2 as an inplace OS upgrade is not supported on a primary site server either.
    You haven't mentioned where you SQL server is located either if it is local or remote.
    If you have issued you could also install a new Primary Site and Migrate the objects from the old Primary Site and then reassign the clients to the new site.

  • Indexorg/Re Indexing jobs in Primary server which has Logshipping

    Hi All,
    I have primary server(SQLServer 2008 R2) with 200 Database and 90 databases are configured in Log shipping(stand by).
    We are planning for Indexing jobs on primary server.
    Please some body advise us best practices to implement indexing jobs in primary server.
    Thanks in advance

    There is few consideration
    1. To rebuild index online or to rebuild offline. Online produces less logs than offline  I proved this fact in below link. Online rebuild in Enterprise Only option
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/24420.curious-case-of-logging-in-online-and-offline-index-rebuild-in-full-recovery-model.aspx
    Make sure your SQL server is patched to latest Service pack because Online index rebuild
    MIGHT cause increase in database size after rebuild. Below is MS support article . This happens because extra 14 byte is added
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2812884
    2 You should only rebuild index whose fragmentation is > 40 and page_count is >1000 and reorganize if fragmentation is between 10 and 30 .
    3. Are you using SORT_IN_TEMPDB option if yes make sure your tempdb has enough space if not make sure drive on which index resides has enough space.
    4 Index rebuild is maintenance task so you also need to figure out how much time index rebuild would take. Ola script would surely be helpful if you use it.
    5 Logs will be produced so you need to make sure just after rebuild when logs will be transferred to secondary the link must not be heavily utilized or else you will start receiving alerts from Log shipping

  • Upgraded ZENworks Primary Server Will Not Refresh

    Good Afternoon,
    I recently upgraded our primary server from ZENworks 11.2-11.3a.
    The upgrade procedure completed with no errors. However, the server will not refresh it's status in the ZENworks Control Center. Control Center continues to report the server as 11.2.0.0. The UI of the Control Center is upgraded. The agent continues to push back the next contact with server time without updating the last contact with server time
    Things I have tried:
    -doing a manual refresh through control center gives a "Connection Failed" error
    -doing a manual refresh with zac ref completes successfully but does not update anything
    -cleared the agent cache using zac cc

    As we all know,
    the Windows Server Essentials Experience role is available in Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. We can add the Windows Server
    Essentials Experience role in Server Manager or via Windows PowerShell.
    In this article, we introduce the steps to install and configure Windows
    Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard via PowerShell locally and remotely. For better analyze, we divide this article into two parts.
    Before installing the Windows Server Essentials Experience Role, please use
    Get-WindowsFeature
    PowerShell cmdlet to ensure the Windows Server Essentials Experience (ServerEssentialsRole) is available. (Figure 1)
    Figure 1.
    Part 1: Install Windows Server Essentials Experience role locally
    Add Windows Server Essentials Experience role
    Run Windows PowerShell as administrator, then type
    Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet to install Windows Server Essentials Experience role. (Figure 2)
    Figure 2.
    Note: It is necessary to configure Windows Server Essentials Experience (Post-deployment Configuration). Otherwise, you will encounter following issue when opening Dashboard.
    (Figure 3)
    Figure 3.
      2. Configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role
    (1)  In an existing domain environment
    Firstly, please join the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard computer to the existing domain through the path:
    Control Panel\System\Change Settings\”Change…”\Member of. (Figure 4)
    Figure 4.
    After that, please install Windows Server Essentials Experience role as original description. After installation completed, please use the following command to configure Windows
    Server Essentials:
    Start-WssConfigurationService –Credential <Your Credential>
    Note: The type of
    Your Credential should be as: Domain-Name\Domain-User-Account.
    You must be a member of the Enterprise Admin group and Domain Admin group in Active Directory when using the command above to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 5)
    Figure 5.
    Next, you can type the password for the domain account. (Figure 6)
    Figure 6.
    After setting the credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 7)
    Figure 7.
    By the way, you can use
    Get-WssConfigurationStatus
    PowerShell cmdlet to
    get the status of the configuration of Windows Server Essentials. Specify the
    ShowProgress parameter to view a progress indicator. (Figure 8)
    Figure 8.
    (2) In a non-domain environment
    Open PowerShell (Run as Administrator) on the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and type following PowerShell cmdlets: (Figure 9)
    Start-WssConfigurationService -CompanyName "xxx" -DNSName "xxx" -NetBiosName "xxx" -ComputerName "xxx” –NewAdminCredential $cred
    Figure 9.
    After you type the commands above and click Enter, you can create a new administrator credential. (Figure 10)
    After creating the new administrator credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 11)
    After a reboot, all the configurations will be completed and you can open the Windows Server Essentials Dashboard without any errors. (Figure 12)
    Figure 12.

    Part 2: Install and configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role remotely
    In an existing domain environment
    In an existing domain environment, please use following command to provide credential and then add Server Essentials Role: (Figure 13)
    Add-WindowsFeature -Name ServerEssentialsRole
    -ComputerName xxx -Credential DomainName\DomainAccount
    Figure 13.
    After you enter the credential, it will start install Windows Server Essentials role on your computer. (Figure 14)
    Figure 14.
    After the installation completes, it will return the result as below:
    Figure 15.
    Next, please use the
    Enter-PSSession
    cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with a remote computer. You can use the commands below:
    Enter-PSSession –ComputerName
    xxx –Credential DomainName\DomainAccount (Figure 16)
    Figure 16.
    Then, please configure Server Essentials Role via
    Add-WssConfigurationService cmdlet and it also needs to provide correct credential. (Figure 17)
    Figure 17.
    After your credential is accepted, it will update and prepare your server. (Figure 18)
    Figure 18.
    After that, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 19)
    Figure 19.
    2. In a non-domain environment
    In my test environment, I set up two computers running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and use Server1 as a target computer. The IP addresses for the two computers are as
    below:
    Sevrer1: 192.168.1.54
    Server2: 192.168.1.53
    Run
    Enable-PSRemoting –Force on Server1. (Figure 20)
    Figure 20.
    Since there is no existing domain, it is necessary to add the target computer (Server1) to a TrustedHosts list (maintained by WinRM) on Server 2. We can use following command
    to
    add the TrustedHosts entry:
    Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts IP-Address
    (Figure 21)
    Figure 21.
    Next, we can use
    Enter-PSSession
    cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with the remote computer. (Figure 22)
    Figure 22.
    After that, you can install Windows Server Essentials Experience Role remotely via Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet. (Figure 23)
    Figure 23.
    From figure 24, we can see that the installation is completed.
    Figure 24.
    Then you can use
    Start-WssConfigurationService cmdlet to configure Essentials Role and follow the steps in the first part (configure Windows Server Essentials Experience in a non-domain environment) as the steps would be the same.
    The figure below shows the status of Windows Server Essentials.
    Figure
    25.
    Finally, we have successfully configured Windows Server Essentials on Server1. (Figure 26)
    Figure 26.
