Let us learn more about virtualizor repair database with the support of our virtualizor support services at Bobcares.

What is the repair database functionality in Virtualizor?

The “repair database” tool  allows us to rectify any problems or inconsistencies in the Virtualizor database.

The database contains critical information about the virtual machines, templates, users, and other parameters.

When we face database-related difficulties or failures in Virtualizor, such as missing or damaged data, we can use the tool to help us resolve those issues.

How to use the repair database functionality in Virtualizor?

To use this function follow the steps given below:

1. Using the credentials, access the Virtualizor administrator panel.
2. Navigate to the “Tools” or a similar part of the panel. Depending on the version of Virtualizor we are using, the position of the repair database option may differ.
3. Look for an option labeled “Repair Database,” “Database Maintenance,” or anything similar.
4. To begin the repair procedure, select the repair database option. Virtualizor will run a series of database integrity tests and attempt to resolve any issues that are discovered.
5. Wait for the repair procedure to be finished. It may take some time depending on the size of the database and the nature of the issues.
6. When the repair procedure is complete, Virtualizor will send us a report detailing the progress of the repairs.

It’s important to note that the repair database tool is intended to tackle typical database errors.

Before beginning any database repairs, back up the Virtualizor database or take a snapshot of the server to minimize any data loss if the repair procedure does not proceed as planned.

Repair the Virtualizor Database in the event of a MySQL crash

Now let us look at the case of a MySQL crash, how to use the Repair tool software to fix the Database.

Follow the steps given below to carry this out:

• Make a backup of the Virtualizor Database, which can be found at:

  /usr/local/emps/var/mysql.
• There is the possibility of data loss. Please ensure that the data is still intact after the repair.
• Make a duplicate of the output for your records.
• If the master database has problems, it is best to restore the crashed table from the most recent database backup.
• Using a repair script for the master server’s database might lead to problems with other functional tables.

Run the following comand after completing steps given above:

root# /usr/local/emps/bin/php /usr/local/virtualizor/scripts/repair_db.php
