Running dbcheck

Perform a dbcheck as root on the problem vob's database. Be aware that this may take a considerable amount of time on large vobs. It will likely be required as the next step in any case.

1. Log in as root on the vob server host
2. cd < vob storage directory >/db
3. cleartool lock -vob < vob storage directory >
4. /usr/atria/etc/utils/dbcheck -a -k -p8192 vob_db 2 > dbcheck.out (/bin/sh)
   OR
   /usr/atria/etc/utils/dbcheck -a -k -p8192 vob_db >& dbcheck.out (/bin/csh)

NOTE: The redirect of the dbcheck.out file assumes you are running csh or sh. If you are running a different shell, adjust the command. Also, the string "vob_db" is not an abbreviation, and should be typed literally.

NOTE: If the dbcheck command has memory problems, leave off the "-p8192" option.

NOTE: The vob must be locked in step 2 to ensure the accuracy of the dbcheck output. If, however, an error occurs while locking the vob continue to step 3.
