Hi,

please could you help me to recovery my SSAS.
The disk with data dir is couurupt.
I have backups of all databases.
I set up new disk, made data dir, but the SSAS service can't be started.
I get a message:

The service cannot be started: File system error: Error opening file;
\\?\E:\OLAP\DATA\CryptKey.bin is not a disk file or file is not accessible.
File system error: Error opening file; \\?\E:\OLAP\DATA\CryptKey.bin is not
a disk file or file is not accessible.

How can I recover my server? Where do I get these files?
Could anybody tell me what files from data dir schould I backup?

Thanks,

Vladimir Chtepa.

If you have backup for all databases, just clean your data directory before
restoring the backup.

Edward.

Hi Edward,

I have written in my original post that the SSAS service doesn't start with
empty data dir. The service asks for a CryptKey.bin
Where can I get it?

Thanks,

Vladimir Chtepa

Hmm..

I guess we have a little communication gap.



But anyhow.

I don't think the problem with CryptKey.bin the file is generated by the
server on the start up if doesn't exist.

I suspect you are trying to start Analysis Server with low privileged
account. Try to changing the service account for Analysis Server.

but didn't give permitions to the OLAPService accouts full access permition
to the dir.
