Virtual Center database in suspect state after reboot posted: Aug 20, 2008 1:10 AM

Hello all,

On our Virtual Center 2.5U1 server we are running SQL Express 2005. Everything seems to work fine but after reboot our server monitoring system (MOM 2005) detects degraded database health. At one or two occasions after reboot an alarm is raised that database is in suspect state. After that no more alarms occurs. I have found nothing in eventlogs that points to a problem with the database.

Anyone seen this? Any thoughts?

Thank you! :)

Hello , if the database is suspect then you'll need to restore it from a backup. You can use the SQL Express Management Studio to check the status of the database. The database is for update manager and your VirtualCenter db is still OK. Thus you can login and use VirtualCenter. You will see some errors if you try to use Update Manager.

For some reason the SQL Server wasn't shutdown the way it should have been. If this continous after each reboot try to manually shutdown the SQL instance first...
