Fix "RRV bucket is corrupt" on Domino CA Process

Today I have met a problem during submit a request to CA process on my domino server.

It prompt out "RRV bucket is corrupt" after choosing CA server and press OK.

I tried all method like fixup, updall, compact, restore from backup....no luck.

Finally, I open Address book-> Security-> Certificate-> <<My CA Server NAME>> and press Edit Certifier

There is a CFG???????????????.nsf  attachment inside. I try to open it, it prompt the same error.

So I think it is worth to try so I delete that attachment and Save.

It fixed the problem!

Register VM Cloned SELS 11 SP2 to ZEN Network

The process for SLE11 is as follows:

1. Find out the alias of the update service by using "zypper ls".
2. Remove the update service, for example by using "zypper removeservice nu_novell_com".
3. Remove the NCC credentials using "rm /etc/zypp/credentials.d/NCCcredentials".
4. Delete the suseRegister cache file using "rm /var/cache/SuseRegister/lastzmdconfig.cache".
5. With this complete, restart YaST, and then launch Novell Customer Center Configuration. This will register any new keys that were needed. Attention: if you use the suse_register commandline tool instead of YaST (for example by using: suse_register -a regcode-sles=YourActivationCode -a email=YourEmailAddress -a moniker=YourHostname -L /root/.suse_register.log) you may have to refresh the services by running "zypper refresh-services -r" afterwards.
6. Check if the update repositories have been added correctly by using "zypper lr".

IP Address Management Excel Tool

An excel sheet that is made by me years ago to manage my Company's IP Addresses...

I decide to share it out to whom might find it useful.

I am not going to explain how to use it as one who want to use it will understand it.

If you are having headache in managing or calculating IP addresses, it would be your nice pal.

Backup Domino on Linux using VDR or Veeam

1. Install VMware-Tools (I think it should be installed but unlucky still a lots out there do not know how to install on Linux)
2. Create a script /usr/sbin/pre-freeze-script

#!/bin/bash

# Just a log with date, you can remove it
echo $(date) >> /var/log/snapshot.log

# Assume Domino Service is installded and started by user "domino", we drop all connection and flush all database cache
/bin/su - domino -c "cd /local/notesdata/;/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server -c \"drop all\";/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server -c \"dbcache flush\""


# Some forks saying we should do a sync before backup, run it with no harm...

/bin/sync

3. chmod 755 /usr/sbin/pre-freeze-script


4. In VMware vSphere, take a snapshot of your Domino Server, uncheck "Snapshot the virtual machine's memory" as it will not run the script is memory is taken and check "Quiesce guest file system".


Check if /var/log/snapshot.log has date recorded and better connect your Domino Console and see if the connection has been dropped when taking snapshot (to prove the script has been run correctly).

Remove logwatch mail on RHEL with Domino

Cisco UCS B200 M2 with VMware DPM using IPMI

Found this document but failed when setting it on Virtual Center.

Finally, I confirmed when applying IPMI policy, it will not take effect to the server. The service profile need to be reapplied (dissociate and associate) in order to take effect.

Move Oracle XE oradata

I copied it from OTN discussion forum Florian W.

1.) Clear the folder that contains your user dump destination. Use show parameter get this folder. 

show parameter user_dump_dest

2.) Create a tracecopy of your controlfile.

ALTER DATABASE
BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE;

You will find this tracefile in your user dump destination.
3.) Shutdown your database

shutdown immediate

4.) Move the oradatafolder to the new drive.
5.) Login to sqlplus and create a PFILE.

sqlplus / as sysdba
 
CREATE PFILE='/usr/lib/oracle/xe/initXE.ora'
FROM SPFILE;
exit

You will find the file initXE.ora in the folder /usr/lib/oracle/xe.
6.) Change the parameter CONTROL_FILES in initXE.ora so that it complies with the new location of your controlfiles. That's the new location of the oradata folder.
7.) Create a SPFILE from your PFILE

sqlplus / as sysdba
 
CREATE SPFILE
FROM PFILE='/usr/lib/oracle/xe/initXE.ora';

8.) Start your database in nomount mode.

sqlplus / as sysdba
 
startup nomount

9.) Change locations of the Redo Log and Datafiles in the tracecopy of your controlfile created in step 2. Do this with the first create controlfile statement (NORESETLOGS).
10.) Use the first CREATE CONTROLFILE statement (NORESETLOGS) in the tracecopy of your controlfile that you've changed in step number 9 to create a new controlfile that knows about the new locations of your oradata folder. If Oracle tells you that everything is OK then you have won otherwise there will be a lot of work to do to get your DB running again.

Please be very careful. This is a very tricky thing you want to do.

This is another better testing procedure I found on the web.


1. On all DC's failure auditing must be enabled:
 --> Policy -> Computer configuration -> windows settings -> security policy -> local policy -> auditing policy -> Audit Accountmanagement (failure and success)
2. On the destination and the source DC the following group policy should be configured simmilar:
 --> Policy -> Computer configuration -> windows settings -> security policy -> local policy -> security options -> Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication
3. Both Domain Admins should be member of the BuiltIn Group Administrators in the other domain
4. Set the registry key hkey_local_machine\system\currnetcontrolset\control\lsa\tcpipclientsupport to 1 on the source dc
5. Disable SID Filtering with netdom.exe and commandline
-->On target dc:
netdom trust {FQDN of target domain} /domain:{FQDN of source domain} /enablesidhistory:yes
netdom trust {FQDN of target domain} /domain:{FQDN of source domain} /quarantine:no
-->On source dc:
netdom trust {FQDN of source domain} /domain:{FQDN of target domain} /enablesidhistory:yes
netdom trust {FQDN of source domain} /domain:{FQDN of target domain} /quarantine:no
6. On the source DC create a local security group in the domain
--> Name: NetBiosNameoftheDomain$$$$ for examble: subdomain$$$
7. gpupdate /force on both domains
8. Add the Domain Admins global group from the target domain to the Administrators local group in the source domain.
9. Test the trust in AD Domains and Trusts

Domino 8 Pre & Post Upgrade Tasks When Upgrading from 6.5 and 7.x

Mindwatering Incorporated Tripp W Black on 01/14/2009 at 11:26 AM

Category: Domino Upgrades / Installations Software Upgrade

Before Upgrading: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=475&uid=swg21303385 Run fixup, updall, and compact to verify applications' integrity. Fixup -f -j -v -l or nfixup -f -j -v -l (MS Windows) NOTE: -f Exhaustive fixup, all documents are checked. -j Include transaction logged databases. Without this option, fixup does not check logged databases. -v Exclude database views (faster) for all views that will be rebuilt by updall later, no need to check view at this moment. -l Log all processed databases (optional). Updall -R -X or nupdall -R -X (MS Windows) NOTE: -R (Completely rebuilds the view indexes) -X (Completely rebuilds the full text index, if the index exist) Compact -c -i or ncompact -c -i (MS Windows) NOTE: -c Use copy-style compaction and recover unused white space -i Ignore errors and allow compact to run anyway (only for copy-style) If you are running transaction logging, be sure to use the -b switch. This is different than the upper case -B switch as -B will change the DBIID of any transactionally logged databases. Update the notes.ini: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/dominowiki.nsf/dx/database-ods-version-should-be-upgraded-to-the-latest- Remove the following lines: SERVER_SESSION_TIMEOUT SERVER_MAXSESSIONS SERVER_MAXUSERS If you want your Domino 8 server to use the new ODS add the following: CREATE_R8_DATABASES=1 If you want your Domino 8.5 server to use the new ODS add the following: CREATE_R85_DATABASES=1 (remove the CREATE_R8_DATABASES=1 entry) Upgrade the Server: 1. Upgrade an Admin Client 2. Upgrade your administrative server. (The one that is the administration server of the Domino - names.nsf.) 3. Do the immediate post upgrade tasks: design -f names.nsf design -f admin4.nsf or ndesign -f names.nsf ndesign -f admin4.nsf Note: the server will automatically rebuild the $Users and the $ServerAccess views. This can take quite a while on a large directory (15,000 users = approx 30 mins). You can do this off-line and then put your directory back into place right before you reboot it. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/documentation/releasenotes/?S_TACT=105AGX13&S_CMP=LPLOTUS fixup names.nsf -f -j -v -l fixup admin4.nsf -f -j -v -l or nfixup names.nsf -f -j -v -l nfixup admin4.nsf -f -j -v -l compact names.nsf -c -i compact admin4.nsf -c -i or ncompact names.nsf -c -i ncompact admin4.nsf -c -i updall names.nsf -RX updall admin4.nsf -RX or nupdall names.nsf -RX nupdall admin4.nsf -RX 3. Replicate the directory. Note: The 8.x design is safe back to 7.x and 8.x servers. Previous design servers should not be replicating the design. (We clicked the property to Update on Admin Server. We also don't have design task running nightly on the secondary servers.
