0 Some quick notes to regenerate a corrupted Oracle VM manager repository database.
How did we discover the corruption?
The MySQL repository databases was increasing in size, the file “OVM_STATISTIC.ibd” was 62G. We also found the following error messages in the “AdminServer.log” logfile:
####<2018-02-13T07:52:17.339+0100> <Error> <com.oracle.ovm.mgr.task.ArchiveTask> <ovmm003.gemeente.local> <AdminServer> <Scheduled Tasks-12> <<anonymous>> <> <e000c2cc-e7fe-4225-949d-25d2cdf0b472-00000004> <1518504737339> <BEA-000000> <Archive task exception:
com.oracle.odof.exception.ObjectNotFoundException: No such object (level 1), cluster is null: <9208>
Regenerate steps
– Stop the OVM services
– Delete the Oracle VM Manager repository database
“/u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/ovm_upgrade/bin/ovm_upgrade.sh –deletedb –dbuser=ovs –dbpass=<PASSWORD> –dbhost=localhost –dbport=49500 –dbsid=ovs”
– Generate replacement certificate
– Start the OVM services and generate new certificates
– Restart OVM services
– Repopulate the database by discovering the Oracle VM Servers
– Restore simple names
Copy the restoreSimpleName script to /tmp, see Oracle Support note: 2129616.1
