Hi.

A few days ago I try a consumption report bandwidth but my device showed me a error telling me not find a specific column in the database.

 

Looking at the forum found that I could be a problem of the database where the update firmware, did not properly update the structure of the database. So attempt a reconstruction of the database, but it turns out after executing the procedure, the equipment does not work properly.

 

 

I guess do something wrong during the procedure execution. Now I require is completely format the disk and load the firmware and make a new database. The data that the device currently do not mind losing them as they are replicated on another server.

I searched for information on this procedure but can not find any serious procedure. Could anyone help?

 

Thank you

    Hi. thanks for your time. I try what you indicated, but after the device is reset, two hours ago, still shows me the same state.

    Now I require is completely format the disk and load the firmware and make a new database.

     using below steps

     

    1. upgrade to latest release like FAZ 5.2.4 0738

    2. on FAZ GUI - System Settings - Dashboard - System Information widget, backup "System Configuration"

    3. exec reset all-settings

    4. exec format disk

    5. re-config IP

    6. you can restore config from 2, or you can just re-add device into Device Manager and re-config other config like report etc on FAZ

     

    but normally, FAZ just need to rebuild SQL db "exe sql-local rebuild-db" and if this still not working, and your 1st pic is in collector mode, can you provide more details for "try a consumption report bandwidth but my device showed me a error telling me not find a specific column in the database.", so how you generate a report and what error you see from where?

     

    also, is it for a predefined report or a user created report? what FGT version send logs to FAZ?

     

    Thanks
