Problem
The Replication Management Server will not start.
Error
The Storage Replicator RMS service terminated with service-specific error 8201
Solution
The Replication Management Server (RMS) service terminated
with service-specific error 8201 in the Event Log. The cause: the database that
holds the jobs is corrupt and will need to be recovered. If the database was
backed up, recover the database. If not, the database needs to be renamed and a
new one created.
Replication Exec 3.x (see below for Storage Replicator steps)
Replication Exec 3.x (see below for Storage Replicator steps)
1. From the RMS server, stop the
Enterprise Network Layer and Replication Exec DBMS services
2. Browse to the database
directory
<drive_letter>\Program
Files\Veritas\Replication Exec\Database
3. Delete or rename the
RMS.db and RMS.log files
Note: If a backup of these
files was created before the error occurred, paste them now into the above
folder and the VRE jobs will be recovered. If this is the case, go directly to
step 10.
4. To create a new blank
database, run a Repair Install:
5. Open Add/Remove
Programs
6. Select Veritas Replication
Exec and click Change
7. Click Next on the
Welcome screen
8. Select Repair and
click Next
9. Once completed, click
Finish
10. Before rebooting the system,
verify that the RMS.db and RMS.log files have been
restored.
11. If a recovery from backup
database files was performed, a reboot is not required. Simply start the
Replication DBMS, Enterprise Network Layer, Replication Service Agent and
Replication Management Server services (in that order)
Storage Replicator
If the Database files have been backed up after the jobs were created, the jobs can be recovered as follows:
1. From the RMS machine, stop
the Replication Management Server service
2. Browse to the Databases
directory
a.
<drive_letter>\VSR\Databases (drive_letter will be the location where
Storage Replicator is installed)
3. Rename the RXDB and
RXDB.index files
4. Recover the RXDB and
RXD. index files from a backup.
5. Restart the RMS
service, then restart the Replication Service Agent (RSA) service
6. Open the console and the jobs
will be displayed in the VSR Admin console
If the Database files were not backed up, the jobs will have to be recreated as follows:
1. From the RMS machine, stop
the RMS service (if started)
2. Browse to the databases
directory
a.
<drive_letter>\VSR\Databases (drive_letter will be the location
where Storage Replicator is installed)
3. Rename the RXDB and
RXDB.index files
4. Restart the RMS service (This
will create new database files.) Then restart the RSA service.
5. Open the console and recreate
the jobs.
