Server Failure

[LastKnight]

Help ..... I have taken over running a new school and we had a power outage/spike that sent a pulse though the network that adversly affected several of my volumes.  I can see the data I just can't access anythiung over 4 MB, and no ..... there is no current backup!  Any idea's wopuld be nice

Ok, I am not sure if you are familiar with VREPAIR, but what you want to do is dismount all the volumes except sys and run vreapir on the volumes that you are having problems.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Here is a TID from SUPPORT.NOVELL.COM<br><br>Purpose<br><br>For traditional NetWare volumes, use at the server console to<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Correct volume problems <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Remove name space entries from Directory Entry Tables<br><br>NOTE: You can't use VREPAIR on a mounted volume.<br><br>NOTE: VREPAIR is not used to repair NSS volumes. For NSS volumes, you must use the REBUILD utility. See<br>“REBUILD.”<br><br><br>Syntax<br><br>[LOAD] [path] VREPAIR [volume name] [log filename]<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;Parameter <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Use to <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;path <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Specify the path to VREPAIR.NLM if you moved it from the default directory. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;volume name <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Specify the name of a volume to repair. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;log filename <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Specify a text filename to log errors into. <br><br><br><br>Using VREPAIR<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For an explanation of the VREPAIR main menu, see “VREPAIR Options.”<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a volume fails to mount when the server is brought up, VREPAIR loads automatically and tries to repair the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;failed volume.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you don't want VREPAIR to automatically repair a volume that won't mount, load MONITOR, select Server<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Parameters &gt; File System, and set the Automatically Repair Bad Volume parameter to OFF. (For more<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;information, see “MONITOR.”)<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Use the version of VREPAIR that matches the operating system.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The majority of all problems fixed by VREPAIR are caused by hardware failures. If a volume frequently needs<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;repair, consider replacing the hard disk or controller.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SUGGESTION: Copy vrepair.nlm and the VREPAIR name space support modules (v_namespace.nlm)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to the boot partition of your server. Then, if volume sys: fails to mount, you can load and run VREPAIR<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from the DOS boot directory.<br><br><br>How VREPAIR Works<br><br>Minor problems can occur on a volume if the primary File Allocation Table (FAT) or Directory Entry Table (DET)<br>becomes corrupted.<br><br>VREPAIR compares the primary tables with their mirrored counterparts. (The operating system keeps two copies of<br>all tables. If hard disks are mirrored, then four copies are kept.)<br><br>VREPAIR checks the sets of mirrored tables for errors. If it finds inconsistencies, it uses the most correct table entry as<br>the corrected entry. VREPAIR then writes the corrected entry to both the primary and mirrored tables.<br><br>VREPAIR may have to delete some corrupted files or tables. For more information, see “Viewing Deleted Files.”<br><br>VEPAIR will log bad block information into a file if you specify a log filename when you load VREPAIR. You can also<br>specify a log filename after you load VREPAIR, when VREPAIR displays an error.<br><br><br>When to Use VREPAIR<br><br>VREPAIR can repair a bad volume that you have dismounted while other NetWare® server volumes are functioning.<br>After you finish running VREPAIR, you can mount the repaired volume (in most cases).<br><br>Use VREPAIR when<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A hardware failure either prevented a volume from mounting or caused a disk read error.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOTE: Although VREPAIR can't fix hardware problems, it can sometimes fix related volume damage.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A power failure corrupted a volume.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The server displays memory errors and can't mount a volume after a name space (such as Macintosh*) is added<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to the volume.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For this type of problem, either add more memory to the server or use VREPAIR to remove the newly added<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;name space.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The volume has bad blocks.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following kinds of errors in FATs or Directory tables signal bad blocks:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Read errors<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Data mirror mismatch errors<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Multiple allocation errors<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fatal DIR errors<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Write errors<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOTE: This information is reported in the log file.<br><br><br>VREPAIR Options <br><br>The VREPAIR main screen displays the following menu:<br><br>Options:<br><br>1 - Repair a volume<br><br>2 - Set VRepair options<br><br>3 - Exit<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;Main Menu Selection <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Use to <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;Repair a volume <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Begin or continue with volume repair. You can also use this option to stop a volume<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;repair in process or change the method of displaying errors during the repair. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;Set VRepair options <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Set VREPAIR configuration options. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;Exit <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exit VREPAIR. <br><br><br>In the Set VRepair Options menu, there are two settings for each option, a default option and an alternate option.<br>When VREPAIR autoloads and tries to repair a volume that will not mount, the default settings are used.<br><br>You can configure the VREPAIR alternate options by selecting the associated option number to toggle between the<br>alternate and default options.<br><br>For example, option 2 settings are Write All Directory and FAT Entries Out to Disk and Write Only Changed<br>Directory and FAT Entries Out to Disk.<br><br>The default for option 2 is Write Only Changed Directory and FAT Entries Out to Disk. If you select option 2, your current VREPAIR configuration reflects the change from the default to the new setting: Write All Directory and FAT Entries Out to Disk.<br><br>The VREPAIR configuration options are described in Table 2-21.<br><br><br>Table 2-21.
