Symptoms
During a Virtual Machine FLR, the following window message appears in the Avamar Administration console:

Error message:
Target VM: <VM-hostname> cannot reach proxy: <avamar-proxy-FQDN_or_IP_Address> via https://<proxy-hostname-IP-Address> due to incorrect network configuration.
Restoration may take significantly longer time Press "Continue" to start the restore
Cause
The service responsible for listening on port 443 on the proxy is not running:
root@avamar-proxy:~/>: netstat -plnt |egrep "Proto|443"
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
root@avamar-proxy:~/>: service jetty status
Jetty Info: Jetty Service is not running.
Resolution
Perform the following actions:
- Start the service before retry the FLR:
root@avamar-proxy:~/>: service jetty start
Shutting down vami-lighttpd:done.
Jetty Info: Jetty daemon started.
root@avamar-proxy:~/>: service jetty status
Jetty Info: Jetty Service is running.[13234]
root@avamar-proxy:~/>: netstat -plnt |egrep "Proto|443"
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 :::443 :::* LISTEN 13234/java
- Ensure that the service is configured to start automatically in multiuser run levels:
root@avamar-proxy:~/>: chkconfig --list |grep jetty
jetty 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
- To ensure that the service starts automatically at the specified run levels, update the service configuration using the command below:
root@avamar-proxy:~/>: chkconfig --level 2345 jetty on
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, perform this additional step:
-
Edit the
/usr/local/avamarclient/bin/config.xmlfile on the proxy being used for the FLR, and change the value of the wget parameter from 0 to 1:<enablewgetrestore>1</enablewgetrestore>
