L'esecuzione manuale dello script checkCertNeedUpdate.sh/checkVxmCertExpiredAndDNS.sh richiede più di cinque minuti.
 

Cause

Il file /etc/hosts contiene l'fqdn di VxRail Manager e ::1 voci che causa questo ritardo nello script.

Resolution

Per risolvere il problema: 

  • Eseguire un backup del file hosts cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.bak.
  • Utilizzando VI, rimuovere l fqdn di VxRail Manager e ::1 dal /etc/hosts di NetWorker.
  • Eseguire nuovamente lo script, che dovrebbe fornire immediatamente un output.
  • Riprovare l'aggiornamento.
