[Freeipa-users] Fwd: dirsrv not starting after unplanned outage

[Bret Wortman]

We had an unplanned power outage which may have affected one of our
freeipa servers. When trying to start, it now errors out.

# ipactl start
Starting Directory Service
Failed to start Directory Service: Command '/bin/systemctl start
***@SPX-NET.service' returned non-zero exit status 1
#

In /var/log/messages, there is a lengthy list of errors like this:

2017-05-09T09:25:40.178252+00:00 asipa ns-slapd:
[09/May/2017:09:25:40.159091115 +0000] valueset_value_symtax_cmp:
slapi_attr_bvalues2keys_sv failed for type attributetypes

ending with:

2017-05-09T09:25:40.178438+00:00 asiopa ns-slapd:

correct the reported problems and then restart the server.

The entry in 00core.ldif was verified against the other servers and the
file hasn't been altered or edited that I can see.

Where else can I look? I've got two servers up, but I'd like to have all
3 operational.

looks like you lost your configuration files dse.ldif and its backup as
well during the outage.
could you check what you have in /etc/dirsrv/slapd-<INSTANCE>

you can try to copy one of the *dse.ldif* to dse.ldif and try to
restart, but that file maybe up to date.

That was it. Minor edits (nsslapd-localhost) and we're up and running.

Thanks, Ludwig!
