DPM 2012 SP1: Unable to connect to the DPM DB, because the DB is inconsistent state.

We are getting the following error when we try to recover from a specific server ( Recovery Tab | Domain | File Server )

Unable to connect to the DPM Database because the database is in an inconsistent state. (ID943)

=> There are no double entries for the specific server in the database. Verified by the following query:

select servername, domainname from dbo.tbl_AM_Server order by servername

=> DBCC Check DPMDB results in no errors. 

=> Yesterday we used the following script to remove a ghost tape from our reports. The tape belongs to the PG where the File Server is member of.

Is there a relation between our error and the removal of the ghost tape? Any idea how to fix this?

Hi,

I have not heard of that script causing any problems in the past, so may or may not be related.  What are the details of the msdpm service crash found in the msdpmcurr.errlog after the error ?

Hi,

we're having the same problem and it's definitly related to the mentioned script. The error occurs after running the script when trying to start the DPM management console. After some time (weeks) the error simply disappears and console runs normal.

Would be nice to have the script running without producing this error afterwards or been given a way to correct the error.
