Hi all,
My pal is faced with a dead corporate Citrix farm... and his Citrix guy is
on hols!
I am trying my best to support over the telephone...
When he runs up the CMC, it errors with a 'failed to connect to farm'
message.
I got him to do an ODBC test to the MS SQL server hosting the DS and this is
fine. I got him to close down the servers and bring one up. This one
complains that it hasn't seen the DS for 96 hours...which I assume is what
is causing the CMC to fail.
If the SQL server hosting the DS is not available..am I correct in assuming
that the CMC will not load up?
In this instance, the DS is 'ok' as far as the DBA's are concerned and the
machines can name resolve and do an ODBC test to them...what other tests can
we do to check the integrity of the DS's data? Are there any utils out
there that can verify a healthy DS. I am considering restoring the DS.
If the farm is out of the 96 hour period...how does the farm fail? i.e. does
the IMA service just stop? Does the ICA port refuse connections etc etc.
Also...while I'm at it, does the CMC use IMA to query the farm?
Thanks for any help in advance....panic panic...reboot...deny....go home...
