Cause

Comme indiqué ci-dessus, l’échec concerne la résolution de noms, ce qui entraîne une exception d’hôte inconnu :

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

Lorsque le code Java tente d’obtenir les informations sur le nom d’hôte local, il échoue en raison d’un problème de configuration du nom d’hôte :

Exemple :

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

Resolution

1. Exécutez la commande suivante pour mettre à jour le nom d’hôte :

hostname <correct-hostname>
 

Par exemple : Pour définir le nom d’hôte sur avamar-prod-fs1 :

hostname avamar-prod-fs1
 

2. Vérifiez les valeurs du nom d’hôte (à l’aide du même exemple)

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

3. Démarrez MCS et reprenez l’ordonnanceur de sauvegarde :

mcserver.sh --start
dpnctl start sched
