Error 13162905616: server_2 : No CEPP pool defined in the CEPP configuration file.

hmmm....! May I know if you have raised SR on the same?. if yes, please DM to suman.pinnamaneni@emc.com with the SR no, I can follow-up on your behalf. 

Steps taken to resolve the issue:

1.) While starting the service getting error
Error 13162905616: server_4 : No CEPP pool defined in the CEPP configuration file

2.) Check with customer and check if the server name is assigned correct in the config file.

Example:

nasadmin@emc CEPP]$ cd /home/nasadmin
[nasadmin@emc ~]$ ls -l
total 280
drwxrwxr-x 2 nasadmin nasadmin   4096 Jun  4 11:51 cepp.orig
drwxrwxr-x 2 nasadmin nasadmin   4096 Feb  7 16:27 collect
-rwx------ 1 nasadmin nasadmin   2678 Mar 13  2013 collect-s1116c516.sh
-rwx------ 1 nasadmin nasadmin   2678 Jan 24 12:25 collect-s49b6f434.sh
-rwx------ 1 nasadmin nasadmin   2678 Apr 25  2013 collect-sb1eb8f49.sh
-rwx------ 1 nasadmin nasadmin     54 Mar 13  2013 fs_dedupe-s1116c516.sh
[nasadmin@emc CEPP]$ cat cepp.orig

surveytime=10
ft level=1
pool name=sepapool \
servers=CEPAServer.domain.com/example \
postevents=* \
posterrevents=* \
option=ignore \
reqtimeout=5000 \
retrytimeout=1500

As you can see the above output and see the server name is CEPAServer.domain.com/example which is wrong.

3.) Ask customer to update the correct server name using vi or any other editor.

Example:

[nasadmin@emc CEPP]$ vi cepp.orig

Cat the file to check if the server name is updated correctly:

Example:

[nasadmin@emc CEPP]$ Cat cepp.orig

surveytime=10
ft level=1
pool name=sepapool \
servers=emc.vnxlab.com \
postevents=* \
posterrevents=* \
option=ignore \
reqtimeout=5000 \
retrytimeout=1500

4.) Now update and put the file again and restart the service.

Example:

[nasadmin@emcCEPP]$ /nas/bin/server_file server_2 -put cepp.orig cepp.conf
server_2 : done
[nasadmin@emc CEPP]$ /nas/bin/server_cepp server_2 -service -start
server_2 : done

5.) Verify the CEPA status using the following command:

server_cepp movername -service -status

OUTPUT:

[nasadmin@emc CEPP]$ /nas/bin/server_cepp server_4 -pool -info
server_2 :
pool_name  = sepapool
server_required = No
access_checks_ignored = 0
req_timeout = 5000ms
retry_timeout = 1500ms
pre_events =
post_events = OpenFileNoAccess,OpenFileRead              
CEPP Servers:
IP = 192.168.1.2,
state = ONLINE,
rpc = MS-RPC over SMB,
cava version = 5.0.8.2, nt status = SUCCESS,                    
server name = emc.vnxlab.com

Thanks for your post Suman. unfortunately I went through this with EMC yesterday and it's still not working.

i got similar error

server_cepp server_2 -service -start

server_2 : No CEPP pool defined in the CEPP configuration file.

Can you please let us know from where we need to consider the pool name?

did the pool name is same as storage pools for file?
