Try using chfarm and move them one at time to an access database and do chfarm again to see if you can add back to your SQL datastore. _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Wood Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 1:07 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Cant Administer Brand New Farm, AMC = DEAD What happens if you migrate a couple of the servers to a new farm based and just use access as the database does that work? Maybe your SQL backend is hosed? From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of James Scanlon Sent: 08 July 2009 05:54 To: Thin Subject: [THIN] Re: Cant Administer Brand New Farm, AMC = DEAD ive already attempted a dscheck /full servers /clean option where it cleaned 2 dead servers from 2 weeks back, regardless the dsmaint verifylhc still fails after a recreate... and the AMC still hangs / stalls on the removal of servers or change of published apps properties.... so far with a SQL restore of the DB still doing the same thing I am of the opinion it might be a farm database recreation??? Cheers _____ Subject: [THIN] Re: Cant Administer Brand New Farm, AMC = DEAD Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2009 13:39:42 +1000 From: Jeremy.Saunders@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Hi James, You should be able to use the DSCHECK utility to clean up inconsistent records in the database. Version 6.26 is the latest version on Windows 2003 32-bit servers, and should be under the "C:\Program Files\Citrix\System32" folder. The command line options can be difficult to work out at times. Googling is your friend, but try the /clean option first. Cheers, Jeremy. _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of James Scanlon Sent: Wed 8/07/2009 11:38 AM To: Thin Subject: [THIN] Cant Administer Brand New Farm, AMC = DEAD List legends of infinity and beyond! We have a brand new farm, of which recently i was unable to remove servers from (if I right click the farm, and select remove, the MMC just hangs) and then today I cannot select individual properties of the published applications ... Its a XA Farm with R04.... W2K3... The SQL Server space filled up recently on the database drive (lame) Could it be a FARM DB Issue where the DB has corrupted itself? Though not noticeable until today (disk space error happened about 2 weeks ago, and of course all backups are only 1 week - as its not even live yet) dsmaint recreatelhc works but when verified comes up with "An unknown error occurred while reading the entry table" the database has been restored back a week only to contain the same errors (even after after running dsmaint recreatelhc (success) then dsmaint verifylhc (fail) While i am in the process of creating another farm database (onluy 4 servers, so relatively easy process) Does anyone have any other suggestions of what they would do in a similar instance?
