Pelco C3662M Repairing and Rebuilding a Digital Sentry Database, Testing a Network Connection

REPAIRING AND REBUILDING A DIGITAL SENTRY DATABASE

REPAIRING A RESTORED DATABASE

If you want to maintain video that was recorded since the last backup, complete the following steps:

1.Stop all Digital Sentry services on the server, VAUs, and network storage devices.

2.From the Digital Sentry Server/VAU CD, copy REBUILD.EXE from the UTIL directory to the C:\DigitalSentry directory on the server.

3.If you have any video files saved on distributed VAUs (that is, if the files have not been copied to the server yet), copy REBUILD.EXE from the UTIL directory to the C:\DigitalSentry directory on each VAU.

4.On the server and each VAU, run Command Prompt from Start>Programs>Accessories.

5.Type cd digitalsentry in the Command Prompt window.

6.Press Enter and then type rebuild -go.

7.Press Enter to start the repair process. This process can be lengthy, especially if a large amount of time has elapsed since the backup was created.

A log file named REBUILD.LOG is created in the C:\DigitalSentry directory. Examine the log file for information about the repair procedure.

You may now restart the Digital Sentry services and resume normal operation of the system.

REBUILDING USING -FIXLOCAL

The -fixlocal command should be run only on the computer where the VideoServer service is installed. It queries the database for all local video file records and verifies that the files exist and are the same size. If a file is not found, the corresponding entry is removed from the database. If the program cannot access the drive the video file record points to, the video file record is ignored. If the video server is not configured to copy to a remote location, the -fixlocal command can be run while the VideoServer service is running.

TESTING A NETWORK CONNECTION

These steps allow you to test whether the network connection of computer you are using, or any other computer on the network, is functional.

1.From the Start menu, go to Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt.

2.Type ping 192.168.0.1 (substitute the example IP address with the IP address of the computer whose network connection you are checking) and press Enter.

The following message appears:

Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:

You can also ping using a computer name. For example, to ping a Digital Sentry server, you might type ping dsserver.

3.If the network connection is functional, the following message appears: Reply from 192.168.0.1

Reply from 192.168.0.1 Reply from 192.168.0.1 Reply from 192.168.0.1

Even if you ping a computer name, the correct IP address appears if the ping is successful.

If the network connection fails, make sure that the computer you are using can access other computers on the network by repeating these steps using an IP address that is known to be functional. If this works, verify that the original computer whose connection you are testing is properly cabled and that a valid, unused IP address has been entered correctly.

If pinging IP addresses works but pinging names does not, consult your network administrator for alternative network connection procedures.
