ACS 4.2 - Internal DB Replication - Logs are empty!

nickbettison — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 00:23:50 GMT

Hello,

I've got a pair of ACS appliaces; I can see that replication is working since if I add a user, click 'replicate now' and check the other box that user is created... BUT.... on both servers the database replication logs are empty.

I've tried the basics.... restart services, reboot boxes... and we're running the latest version (4.2.1 Build 15), does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers,

Nick

Hello,

Thank you for your reply... I can't see your attachment 😞

I have attached a screenshot of my GUI... there is no configure option to enable/disable logging of DB replication.

Cheers,

Nick

Thanks but ...."I have a pair of appliances" i.e. not software on windows.

....Also please see the screenshot I uploaded, under system configuration -> logging this is no 'configure' for DB replication only passed/failed attempts etc.

Cheers.

Looks to me that the database is corrupted and to clean the database follow these:-

1. Please take a backup from the Appliance.

2. 2. Install the ACS 4.2.1.15 on Windows 2k3 machine.

3. 3. Restore the backup taken from the appliance on the windows.

4. 4. Go to command prompt

5. 5. Change the directory to C:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v4.2\bin

6. 6. Run CSUtil.exe –d –n –l

7. Check if the options for logging are coming.

If this still does not work then last bet will be to re-image. Hope this helps.
