Hi. I'm using the latest ultrasound to monitor FRS and have a couple
of basic questions.
In the main ultrasound view I have a DC (DC1) with a green tick at the
base of a tree view. Underneath as a node I have another DC (DC2)
which has a red cross. I take this to mean that DC2 is a replica
partner with DC1.
excuse my ascii art but,
-DC1 (tick)
|
\---> DC2 (cross)
When I open the alert for DC2 (by clicking on it) I am told that I
have old backlogged files. I open Advanced to get more details. In the
alert data I have:
Connection: DC1 <--> DC2.
InboundServerDNS: DC1.
OutboundServerDNS: DC2.
ReplicaSet:sysvol
Inbound: Green Tick
Outbound: Red Tick.
The simple problem I have is "from which perspective is this data
produced"? An inbound partner provides data. An outbound partner is
one to which you feed data.
Am I right in saying that for the alert mentioned above:
The data is from the perspective of DC1. DC1 is ok. However, its
outbound connection to DC2 is in fault with a queue of backlogged
files? In the alert details, the Inbound green tick refers to DC1 and
the outbound red tick refers to DC2.
I think this is correct, but I would then expect to find DC2 as root
node in the tree view with a node underneath showing DC1 and stating
that the Inbound was in failure. In other words, the opposite of the
first entry.
Secondly, is there any current tool which will map a topology for me?
Ideally I would like to be able to select a server and find its
partners. Not necessarily graphically, but enough so that I can build
a chain, as I would do with Sites&Services and connection objects. I'm
working through ntfrsutl so if its in there, could you point me to the
command line?
I hope I've explained this clearly enough and thanks for any help you
can offer. I know it's a basic question but I want to be 100% sure.
