Backing up critical AS300 server files
(Topic number: 147687)
8.
Prior to a forklift upgrade of an IMPAX AS300 Network Gateway, Archive Server, or Curator, any
critical files should be backed up to an appropriate location. During the upgrade itself, the files on
the new server can be compared with that of the old server.
Detecting and correcting IMPAX cache corruption
(Topic number: 6710)
9.
The Cache Check and Repair Tools are used to identify missing cache files and to repair or remove
damaged ones. These tools are normally run across all of the cache file systems on the affected server,
because files missing from a damaged cache can sometimes be found on another cache. Performance
of the tools is hardware-dependent.
For Windows servers, the mvfcachecheck-version executable can be found on the IMPAX 6.5.3 AS300
Server DVD or ISO file in the programs/mvf folder.
Checking the integrity and identity of cache files
(Topic number: 58348)
You can use the cache check and repair tools to check the integrity and identity of cache files against
the IMPAX database.
To check the integrity and identity of cache files
1. In a command prompt, change to the location of the cache check and repair tools.
2.
Run mvf-check-cache parameters path_to_cache
where parameters can be one or more of the following:
•
-i seconds—Interval between display of progress messages. Default is every 10 seconds.
•
-g—Gentle cache check. Causes the tool to sleep every other second (and take twice as
long).
•
-m mv_command_file—Path to the script of the mv commands which move problem
files out of the cache directory and to a set of sibling directories on the same file system.
Do not run this script on a damaged file system.
•
-q—A quick check of file existence only, and a simple file size sanity check. Cannot be
used with the -m parameter.
