Re: System disk errors when running "analyze/disk"

Volker Halle — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 15:49:22 GMT

IFX,

multiple allocated block are most dangerous, as this means that certain LBNs belong to different files. To recover, you will need to most certainly delete BOTH files affected and run ANAL/DISK/REPAIR again.

If you can, shut down the system, boot from CD, make a physical backup of that disk and then try to repair it using ANAL/DISK/REPAIR, deleting files with MULTALLOC blocks.

Note that when you run ANAL/DISK on a mounted and busy disk, certain errors can show up intermittently. You need to run ANAL/DISK again and only care about those errors, that show up all the time.

Volker.

Re: System disk errors when running "analyze/disk"

RBrown_1 — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 15:59:28 GMT

I am not up to V8.3 yet, but this is how it looks to me:

1. It is hard to run analyze/disk on the system disk because it is so active. If you need to analyze the disk_structure on the system disk, you probably need to boot from another disk to get less confusing results.

2. Of the files listed, the only one I noticed that I would worry about was DCLTABLES.EXE. Check in SYS$SYSTEM and make sure that there is a higher-numbered version than any of the ones marked for delete. If there is not, then you will want to get one from somewhere.

3. In RSX-11M you could reset the marked-for-delete bit on a file so that it would not be deleted after all. As near as I can tell, analyze/disk in VMS does not offer this functionality.

Re: System disk errors when running "analyze/disk"

Volker Halle — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:09:25 GMT

DCLTABLES.EXE files marked for delete typically show up after layered product installations or updates, which modify the current DCLTABLES. The installation procedure will do a INSTALL REPALCE DCLTABLES and then PURGE, but many processes still have the old DCLTBALES opn, so they will be marked for delete.

$ ANAL/DISK/REPAIR will happily clean up those marked-for-delete file headers.

Volker.

Re: System disk errors when running "analyze/disk"

Hoff — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:36:10 GMT

How much do you trust your system disk BACKUP and your ability to recover your disk? If you don't, then address that matter regardless.

And while you're addressing that, re-run ANALYZE /DISK /REPAIR from your distribution disk or from another system disk (after making the disk BACKUP /IMAGE copy), and see what happens with the structure of this disk. Most of the stuff is innocuous, but a few of those errors could be more serious.

Re: System disk errors when running "analyze/disk"

Guenther Froehlin — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 22:29:15 GMT

First before "fixing" anything run ANALYZE/DISK again with the /LOCK qualifier. Then let's look at the list again. Without /LOCK or /REPAIR you can get misleading information on an active disk.

And PLEEEEEEEEASE collapse your listing a bit by removing nearly identical lines before posting it.

/Guenther

Re: System disk errors when running "analyze/disk"

Jon Pinkley — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 22:50:07 GMT

Files marked for delete aren't necessarily bad, it just is an indication that the file was open when it was deleted, and it was never closed before the disk was dismounted. The system disk is the one most likely to have those types of files.

Multiply allocated blocks are BAD. They should never occur if the rules are followed, unless there is a hardware problem, a bug in kernel mode code, or improper use of privilege, for example, physical or logical I/O to the disk.

Was this system disk connected to a shared bus and possibly mounted by two systems that were not in a properly configured cluster? That is probably the most common cause of multiply allocated blocks, as there are multiple systems that each think they have total knowledge of what blocks are available for use.

So, make sure you don't have the possibility of a partitioned cluster, and don't allow two non-clustered systems to simultaneously mount the disk (at least in a writeable condition). Booting a system from a CD/DVD upgrade disc and then mounting an active system disk is another example of uncoordinated mounted disks.

The point is, if you don't fix the cause of the problem, then any work you do to fix it will be a waste of time, since you will have more multiply allocated blocks again very quickly.

Good Luck,

Jon

IFX,

I concur with my colleagues. Running ANALYZE against an active system disk can produce many results, not all of which are significant.

If the system in question is up on a 7x24 basis, where downtime is a serious issue there are some steps one can take to better understand what is happening.

For example, if the system disk is shadowed/mirrored, one can create an additional block-level copy of the device, then disconnect the extra (scratch) copy. Re-mount the scratch copy privately. Now run ANALYZE against it. You will see some things, but I would not be surprised to see the problems with the highest concern (e.g., multiply allocated blocks) disappear from the list. If that happens you will have assurance that the problem is caused by the disk being active while ANALYZE was running.

Thanks to all for the inputs. Fortunately, there is a scheduled maintenance on this system which I can make use of to carry out the suggestions.

I'm currently running a backup on the system disk. A couple of hours from now, I'm going to shutdown the system and boot from CD and run analyze/disk and repair on one shadow set member. But before running the repair, I'm going to disable shadowing first just to make sure.

I have deleted the erroneous files as suggested. However, after running analyze/disk/repair there are still reference to certain files without the filenames. How can these errors be removed?

Re: System disk errors when running "analyze/disk"

Wim Van den Wyngaert — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 07:35:23 GMT

With DFU you can find the file name.

E.g. DFU search dev: /fid=17665

Don't know why we don't get the file name. Must be old software and HP prefers to implement new stuff.

Jur van der Burg — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 10:58:35 GMT

In general, neither analyze/disk nor dfu can fix multalloc errors. They can't read your mind about which file to delete.

multalloc means that you have a serious problem with the integrity of the disk structure, and that two or more files have the same logical blocks allocated to them. So you have to delete at least one of them, but you can't be sure which one. I would be very careful with this, and preferably reinstall vms on a new volume. Or do manual recovery, but then you REALLY have to know what you do.

Oswald,
I'm using DFU v3.2. As suggested above, I tried using it to search for other files based on file id.

Jur,
Thanks to the early responses, I have already deleted most of the errant files and has significantly the reduced the disk errors. Now, aside from quickly jumping into performing a re-installation of the OS, I need your 'expert' thoughts on how to delete/deal with the remaining errant files.

Re: System disk errors when running "analyze/disk"

Jon Pinkley — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 16:35:36 GMT

IFX,

What event let you to run analyze disk in the first place?

We know you have a shadow set with errors, but we don't know how many members are in the shadow set, and how the members are connected to the system. Do any of the members have direct connections to multiple systems? By that I mean are any of the shadow set members connected to either a shared storage bus (shared SCSI bus, Fibre Channel. CI or DSSI)? I see your last analyze output was for a FC DG device. What type of Fibre Channel controller do you have (MSA, EVA, XP, HSG80, something else)? Was (at least) one of the shadow set members ever presented to more than one system that were not part of the same cluster?

Can you please give us a bit of information about your hardware/software configuration?

Can you do the following?

$ define/job DFU$NOSMG T ! disable the pesky SMG interface
$ dfu report $1$DGA4995:

Cut and paste the output into notepad, save as a .txt file and attach to the comment. This output will provide the info we need to be able to have you dump out the blocks of indexf.sys that contain the file headers of these files. It is possible that something has overwritten parts of the indexf.sys file.

If you go back to your original posting, you will see that the first errors are reporting files marked for delete, but then there is a block of 14 contiguous file headers (may not be contiguous on disk, but probably are) that have %ANALDISK-W-BADHEADER. These for the headers from 17711 to 17724

I will reproduce the first and last one, see the first message for the rest.

%ANALDISK-W-BADHEADER, file (17711,24624,0)
invalid file header
-ANALDISK-I-FIDNUM_ZERO, file number zero but not a valid deleted header
-ANALDISK-I-INVHEADER_BUSY, invalid file header marked "busy"
in index file bitmap

...

%ANALDISK-W-BADHEADER, file (17724,0,0)
invalid file header
-ANALDISK-I-IDLEHEADER_BUSY, idle file header marked "busy"
no user action necessary

This is the portion of the indexf.sys file that I think had a good chance of being overwritten. We can't determine what to dump without knowing more about the disk, and that is reported in the output of dfu report. (The line "First header VBN" is the most important, but unless there is something sensitive in the output, please provide the complete report.

Re: System disk errors when running "analyze/disk"

IFX_1 — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:19:54 GMT

Jon,

*** What event let you to run analyze disk in the first place?

I ran analyze/disk on the system when I encountered the following errors upon accessing the audit journal.

%AUDSRV-W-BADRECORD, invalid data in record 184669
%RMS-F-IRC, illegal record encountered; VBN or record number = 169176

*** Do any of the members have direct connections to multiple systems? By that I mean are any of the shadow set members connected to either a shared storage bus (shared SCSI bus, Fibre Channel. CI or DSSI)? Was (at least) one of the shadow set members ever presented to more than one system that were not part of the same cluster?

We are using EMC storage on a two-node ES40 cluster which has common system disk. Most of the shadow sets (including the system disk) have two members. The system is now up with only one volume ($1$DGA899). I'm running the DFU and analyze/disk/repair on the 2nd member, $1$DGA4995 which I mounted privately.

Most of the errant files that showed in my original posting were created at the time when HP tried to configure the second node in the cluster. I recall some problems were encountered that time and I believe it connected to the common system disk as a separate node which may have caused these errors.

*** Can you do the following?
$ define/job DFU$NOSMG T ! disable the pesky SMG interface
$ dfu report $1$DGA4995:

Pls refer to attached dfu report.

Much thanks for the help.

"Most of the errant files that showed in my original posting were created at the time when HP tried to configure the second node in the cluster. I recall some problems were encountered that time and I believe it connected to the common system disk as a separate node which may have caused these errors."

I would think twice before inviting them back for system upgrades.

I would not trust anything on the disk. You did see some of the effects when you analyzed the audit file. There are probably other errors you are not yet aware of, and these errors are being copied to your system backups. Hopefully you still have a backup from prior to the addition of the second node. If you do have backups from prior to the event, write protect them and keep them safe. You may need them to restore data files from.

You even have multiply allocated blocks in the same file (17670,16,0)

%ANALDISK-W-MULTALLOC, file (17670,16,0) 0Ã¢??Ã¢?? Ã Â¸Ã¢?Â¬0Ã¢?Â Ã¢?? OÃ¢?Â¬Ã Ã Â¿x Ã¢?Â¬P y oÃ¢?Â¬
multiply allocated blocks
VBN 110161 to 110192
LBN 7931120 to 7931151, RVN 1
%ANALDISK-W-MULTALLOC, file (17670,16,0) 0Ã¢??Ã¢?? Ã Â¸Ã¢?Â¬0Ã¢?Â Ã¢?? OÃ¢?Â¬Ã Ã Â¿x Ã¢?Â¬P y oÃ¢?Â¬
multiply allocated blocks
VBN 110977 to 111008
LBN 7931120 to 7931151, RVN 1

Here LBN 7931120 to 7931151 are mapped to VBN 110161 to 110192 and mapped again to VBN 110977 to 111008, both in the same file (17670,16,0).

If you run the DFU report and look for "first header VBN", take that number, subtract one (the first file number is 1, not 0), then add the file number of a file you want to dump the header of (for example 17670 for the file with file id (17670,16,0). This will give the VBN of [000000]INDEXF.SYS that has the file header for the file.

Since on your $1$DGA4995:, the First header VBN is 827, to dump the file headers, add 826 to the file number, and dump that block of [000000]indexf.sys

For example to dump the header of the file that has the same LBNs mapped twice, (17670,16,0), dump VBN 18496 (17670+826) of [000000]indexf.sys

$ dump/file_header/block=(start:18496,count:1) $1$DGA4995:[000000]indexf.sys

or to see it in hex/ascii format

$ dump/block=(start:18496,count:1) $1$DGA4995:[000000]indexf.sys

Look at the retrieval pointers and you will see that the same LBNs are mapped more than once.

Example: (much left out for brevity), see attachment for full details.

$ dfu report disk$user1
...
First header VBN : 998
,,,
$ dir login.com;/file

Directory ROOT$USERS:[JON]

LOGIN.COM;241 (340977,27,0)

Total of 1 file.
$ vbn = (998-1)+340977
$ sho sym vbn
VBN = 341974 Hex = 000537D6 Octal = 00001233726
$ dump/file/block=(start:341974,count:1) disk$user1:[000000]indexf.sys

Dump of file DSA1200:[000000]INDEXF.SYS;1 on 10-SEP-2008 21:08:12.46
File ID (1,1,0) End of file block 444376 / Allocated 801008

Virtual block number 341974 (000537D6), 512 (0200) bytes

Header area
...
File identification: (340977,27,0)
...
Identification area
File name: LOGIN.COM;241
...
$

If you use dump without /file_header, it will dump the contents of the file header in a hex dump instead of formatting it as a file header.

$ dump/block=(start:341974,count:1) disk$user1:[000000]indexf.sys/width=80

You may be able to see some clues in the ascii text if some other file got mapped over that portion of indexf.sys.

Good luck (you will need it),

Jon

Right, so there probably has been a partitioned cluster. Someone clearly did not know enough about clusters.

I would for sure toss this disk and rebuild it or restore a backup from before the event as you don't know which blocks are corrupt. You may very well run into subtile (or not so subtile) issues later on. And as said by Jon, don't let these people touch your system ever again.
