NSFRecoverDatabases() failed with the error: Recovery Manager: Log scan in progress

Hi there !

We have some Lotus Domino 8.5.1FP4 clustered servers in our environment and uses EMC NetWorker 7.6 for the backups and it worked fine so far.

This week we have enabled the transaction log of Domino and so we edited the backup software for incremental backup of the logs.

But our tests to restore some files failed all the time, we have already restartet the Domino server, that was the only hint we found in the internet.

Someone has another hint what could cause the problem ? It restored only the last full backup of the file, but no transaction logs:

command:

/usr/sbin/nsrnotesrc -z /usr/sbin/nsrnml_config_docrc.notes17 -d /tmp/backup/ -t "08/04/2011 17:00:00" -c [xyz]  -s [xyz] -ZZ NOTES:/local/notes17/mail/35537.nsf

result:

Generating list of objects to recover.
Found 1 object(s) for recover. Starting recovery...
Success for /tmp/backup//local/notes17/mail/35537.nsf
Received  255 MB  1 file(s) from NSR server.
Using 08/04/2011 17:00:00 as upper time limit.
Applying Transaction logs for logged database(s) ...
The transaction log recovery failed with the error message:

Recover Complete

sincerely,

Hi Olaf,

This message comes from Domino not NMDA. As you mentioned, restarting Domino is an option to fix the issue. You should also run “nsd –kill” as Notes user to ensure all the processes are cleaned up properly. If that doesn’t help, then you may need to reboot the whole system.

Thanks,

Allan

Hi Allan,

thanks for your hint. We rebooted the server this morning with nsd -kill option, i checked also afterwards via "ps -ef" that no process runs on the notesserver user and restarted the server.

the first restore test ends up with

Received  21 MB  1 file(s) from NSR server.
Using 08/08/2011 15:00:00 as upper time limit.
Applying Transaction logs for logged database(s) ...
comp = 11, fnc = 82, tracePt = 102
3D000000 Segmentation fault

the second, third and forth test (with different time limits) shows this again:

Using 08/08/2011 15:00:00 as upper time limit.
Applying Transaction logs for logged database(s) ...
The transaction log recovery failed with the error message:
The call to NSFRecoverDatabases() failed with the error: Recovery Manager: Log scan in progress.
Recover Complete

Do you think a whole system reboot would solve it ?

Hi Allan,

i contacted the support and they send me binaries for replacement.

i did it, quit the server with nsd -kill, restarted and tried again, with the same error:

Received  21 MB  1 file(s) from NSR server.
Using 08/08/2011 15:00:00 as upper time limit.
Applying Transaction logs for logged database(s) ...
The transaction log recovery failed with the error message:

Recover Complete with warnings!

This seems to be an issue with Domino.  When looking at the history, initally it made sense as original session core dumped and then later attempt to apply logs failed as within Domino that session was hanging.  Not sure why do you get this now after restart (given that only transacation logs are applied, right?).  At this point it would be wise to open this with IBM support to check wether there is a patch (or if this is known issue for your Domino revision) and if not to check what is needed to get some debugging out of Domino to see what happens really and why.

I just faced the same issue when trying to restore a nsf file.

I stopped domino (and manually killed the 'logasio' process which frequently happens to stay running even if domino has stopped) and did the restore when domino was not running.

The restore, with the translogs, was then successfull.

Hope this might help.

Regards,

Pierre
