RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: A command line utility verify-db.pl takes "-a Database Directory" to specify the path to the database. But even if it is given, the option was ignored and the path defined in the configuration was used. Fix: Now the bug was fixed and the given path to the database is used by verify-db.pl.

Description Noriko Hosoi 2015-07-23 15:07:16 UTC 
Description of problem:

verify-db.pl has option '-a 'which can specify path to DB.

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/9.0/html/Configuration_Command_and_File_Reference/Perl_Scripts.html#verify-db.pl

But if verify-db.pl run with -a option, it does not verify DB files under DB directory which is specified by option '-a',  but it alreays verify instance DB instead.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. take backup by db2bak
2. run DB verify against backup DB with -a option

e.g.
./verify-db.pl -a /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-test/bak/test-2015_07_06_16_32_07

Actual results:

DB files unser instance's DB directory always get verified. 

Expected results:

DB files under DB directory specified -a option is verified.

Additional info:

Easy workaround:
