I recently did an ldif backup of our iplanet 52 database. Its about an 88 MB ldif file.

I took this to a new FDS server Dell 850 3 ghz duel core 2 sata hard disks.

I ran an ldapadd  the data imported perfectly.

Then I tried to cutover some systems and give the database some load.

 

System went 200% processor

 

Eventually I realized I was missing indexes so I added them through the graphical tool.

 

The log seemed to do something like this
generating index 1%

generating index 2%

....
generating index 49%
Done

Seemed weird that they would jump from 49% to Done

At this point the new system was running at 100% processor

But the queries are running faster on our old 440 MHZ sparc t1 server52 database

 

I ran
DB ERROR: db_verify: Page 30: out-of-order key at entry 498
DB ERROR: db_verify: DB->verify: db/o_com/channelcontentowner.db4: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database verification failed
 

then I tried db2_index. The program seemed to be in a tight loop complaining about 1 missing entry.

 

I do not realize how the data can be so corrupted right after an import.

 

These are someone generic symptoms. Any ideas? Thanks
