No more id's are available from the system id pool

Postby Nexis » Fri Jun 09, 2006 4:06 pm

I tried to da a bulk import and failed a few time so I tried to fix the mistakes in my scripts and run them again until I my 1000 users why imported. But I allways restarted my script so I get this message No more id's are available from the system id pool. So I searched to forum and found that you can add id. But I saw I allready used 5000 id's. Has this impact on the server. How can this happen because of the multiple tries of the bulk import? Can I free the non used id's. Can I drop those id's? Can I drop my database and start over again. So that I only have the user id when I started?

Thanks Koen

There may be a specific scalix process that you could cycle but I'm not sure which one. Perhaps the best bet would be to execute:

omshut
omrc

to restart scalix services. This should clear the counter.

Hi. Yes, system IDs are allocated each time you add a user, so the multiple bulkloads are what used up your IDs. It doesn't really hurt to add more, but if you've deleted all of the users each time, you can simply delete the block of system id's using the omadmipd command (see the man page for details). After deleting that block, you can re-add it with the same command. If you prefer, you can use the scalix-installer to uninstall and re-install and when it asks if you want the database removed, say yes.

Thanks,
Rachel
