10.10 Using the eMBox Client to Repair a
Database
The eDirectory Management Toolbox (eMBox) Client is a command line Java client that gives you
remote access to DSRepair. Because the eMBox Client can be run in batch mode, you can use it to
do unattended repairs using the eDirectory DSRepair eMTool.
The emboxclient.jar file is installed on your server as part of eDirectory. You can run it on any
machine with a JVM. For more information on the eMBox Client, see
Section 18.1, “Using the
eMBox Command Line Client,” on page 531 .
10.10.1 Using the DSRepair eMTool
1 Run the eMBox Client in interactive mode by entering the following at the command line:
java -cp path_to_the_file/ emboxclient.jar embox -i
(If you have already put the emboxclient.jar file in your class path, you only need to enter
java embox -i
.)
The eMBox Client prompt appears:
eMBox Client>
2 Log in to the server you want to repair by entering the following:
login -s server_name_or_IP_address -p port_number
-u username.context -w password -n
The port number is usually 80 or 8028, unless you have a Web server that is already using the
port. The -n option opens a nonsecure connection.
The eMBox Client will indicate whether the login is successful.
3 Enter a repair command, using the following syntax:
Switch Description
-NLC If a NetWare server has the STORE NETWARE 5 CONN SCL MLA USAGE IN NDS
set parameter turned on, the NLS:CERT PEAK USED POOL attribute could get a
very high value. Running DSRepair with -NLC will clear these high values.
-P Marks all eDirectory objects of type Unknown as referenced. Referenced objects do
not participate in the eDirectory replica synchronization process.
-WM In many cases, the WM: Registered Workstations attribute will become very high
when using ZENworks
®
2.0. Running DSRepair with -WM will clear these high
values.
-XK2 Kills all eDirectory objects in this server's eDirectory database. This operation is used
to destroy a corrupt replica that cannot be removed in any other way.
-XK3 Kills all external references in this server's eDirectory database. This operation is
used to destroy all external references in a nonfunctioning replica. If the references
are the source of the problem, eDirectory can then re-create the references in order
to get the replica functioning again.
-RC Backs up the DIB. This option is available only on Windows and NetWare.
