Cause

Según el resultado anterior, la falla se produce en la resolución de nombres, lo que da lugar a una excepción de host desconocida:

java.net.UnknownHostException: <incorrect-hostname>: <incorrect-hostname>: Name or service not known
 

Cuando el código Java intenta obtener la información del nombre de host local, falla debido a un problema de configuración del nombre de host:

Ejemplo:

hostname
<incorrect-hostname>
 
hostname -f 
hostname: Temporary failure in name resolution
 
hostname -i
hostname: Name or service not known

Resolution

1. Ejecute el siguiente comando para actualizar el nombre de host:

hostname <correct-hostname>
 

Por ejemplo: Para configurar el nombre de host en avamar-prod-fs1:

hostname avamar-prod-fs1
 

2. Verifique los valores del nombre de host (con el mismo ejemplo)

hostname
avamar-prod-fs1
 
hostname -f 
avamar-prod-fs1.company.com
 
hostname -i
10.1.2.3
 

3. Inicie MCS y reanude el programador de respaldo:

mcserver.sh --start
dpnctl start sched
