Hi everybody,
I’m having issues with my OpenVAS9 machine running on Ubuntu 16.04.03 LTS, in
particular the database preventing the scanner from starting, please see below:
root@DMZ-NVT-01:~# /etc/init.d/openvas-scanner status
● openvas-scanner.service - LSB: remote network security auditor - scanner
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/openvas-scanner; bad; vendor preset: enabled)

The machine has more than enough RAM (8GB), so I’m hoping somebody here could
give me some pointers on how to tackle/solve this issue?
