How to recover from database failures for Juniper SRX IDP?



1. Disable idpd process from the configuration 

root@router> edit
root@router# set system processes idp-policy disable 
root@router# delete security idp 
root@router# commit

2. Once the idpd process is disabled, go to initialize (prune current records).

secdb failures, execute the following:
root@router# exit
root@router> exit
root@router% rm /var/db/idpd/db/secdb* /var/db/idpd/db/rdm.taf

3. Now reboot the device (it will initialize the secdb database) 
root@router% cli 
root@router> request system reboot

4. RE attack cache (DFA/PCRE cache) failures, execute the following:
Once the idpd process is disabled, we can go ahead to prune the database records

root@router# exit
root@router> exit
root@router# rm /var/db/idpd/db/dfa* /var/db/idpd/db/pcre* 
root@router# rm /var/db/idpd/db/cache.dbd /var/db/idpd/db/rdm.taf

5. Now reboot the device (it will initialize the cache database) root@router# cli root@router> request system reboot

Note: For RE attack cache, users need not do anything (the cache will build-up on subsequent policy compilation(s)).

 6. After the device reboots, enable idpd process 
root@router% cli 
root@router> edit 
root@router# delete system processes idp-policy 
root@router# commit

7. Now download the full-update of the security package and install it

Download:
root@router> request security idp security-package download full-update root@router> request security idp security-package download status

Once the download is complete, install it:
root@router> request security idp security-package install root@router> request security idp security-package install status

The device is recovered from secdb failure.
