Understanding DFSR debug logging (Part 3: The Log Scenario Format, File Added to Replicated Folder on Windows Server 2008)

Ned here. Today's post is part three in the series, where begin examining specific scenarios in the debug logs. This post is a critical read as it explains how I will go through all the debug logs; without reviewing this section below the remaining logs will be more difficult to understand.

Various logging scenarios

Now we will dissect DFSR debug logs from Windows Server 2003 R2 and Windows Server 2008. These cover a number of scenarios including both normal operations as well as common error states. It is critical that an engineer become familiar with the working scenarios of DFSR in order to see problem states more clearly. Review the two previous posts on the debug log format (Part 1 and Part 2) before continuing.

All logs referenced here are in default debug log severity 4 mode unless otherwise stated. All logs are included as downloads with each blog post. All analysis done on Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x86 with SP2 with hotfixes KB948833 and KB944804 installed or on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x86 RTM with no hotfixes installed.

IMPORTANT NOTES

  • An artificial field called <upstream> has been added to every full line for the upstream log file and will be highlighted yellow – these indicate the beginning of a new full line.

  • An artificial field called <downstream> has been added to every full line for the downstream log file will be highlighted pink – these indicate the beginning of a new full line.

    Note: When reading the sample logs below, keep in mind that they are actually a combination of two actual debug logs. Hopefully this improves the understanding of the 'give and take' nature of file replication between nodes.

  • Sections that are highlighted turquoise are notable for that line.

  • Comments on a given line are called out with arrowed (ß) red text and are not included in the logs.

  • Not all debug file lines are necessarily included as some will be irrelevant or are repeated several times through looping.

  • Remember to review previous sections for details on all fields shown below.

  • The logs here are unrealistic in their time synchronization (all scenarios were reproduced using a single virtual host). Keep in mind that time could be off by up to five minutes of relative skew in a real world scenario, and that debug logs are written using local time of the server, not GMT/UTC time.

File Added to Replicated Folder on Windows Server 2008

(addedlargefileupstream - Dfsr00011 - 2008.log and addedlargefiledownstream - Dfsr00008 - 2008.log)

In this scenario we will see a file copied into the replicated folder and how it is replicated between two servers. This is useful to understand in order to troubleshoot issues where problems within the USN journal, the DFSR JET database, the staging folder structure, and the network (including RPC) are preventing replication from working correctly.

These are two Windows Server 2008 servers called 2008MEM01 and 2008MEM02 in the fabrikam.com domain. The logs are from 2008MEM01 where the file is created (upstream) and from 2008MEM02 where it is replicated (downstream). Both servers are participating in the TESTRG replication group for the TESTRF replicated folder. The file is called "bigdoc.rtf". It is larger than 64KB so it will be staged for RDC usage; it is not on the compression exclusion list so it will be compressed in staging with XPRESS.
