RE: [nv-l] Error retrieving mapdb field info: Null field value

As long as you have the .BAK files created during compression you can get back to where you were prior to all this happening. You still may need a prior backup to restore. Our value_info.ovf was over 2 GB--and thought best practice was to run ovmapcount and ovtopofix before compressing. Maybe compressing first caused the corruption?

Subject: [nv-l] Error retrieving mapdb field info: Null field value

Hi list,

I have a NV 7.1.4 with Fixpack 3 running on a Solaris 5.8 box. For some reason the file value_info.ovf increased its size in 130MB in about an hour and continued this way. I executed the commands below after consulting IBM support:

nvturbodatabase space
nvturbodatabase speed
ovmapcount
ovtopofix -a
ovw_fields
ovw_config
ovw_verify

The problem is that now I have the following error message when trying to open the GUI:

"Error retrieving mapdb field info: Null field value"

Any ideas ??

Thank you.

Mario
