Avamar: Backup mislykkes på grund af DNS-forespørgsel, der tager for meget tid - avtar FATAL <8941>: Fatalt serverforbindelsesproblem, afbrydelse af initialisering. Kontroller den korrekte serveradresse og loginoplysninger.

Summary: Formålet med denne KB-artikel er at forklare det specielle scenarie, hvor avtarhåndtrykket mislykkes, men pinget fungerer, og de nødvendige TCP-portnumre også er åbne.

Symptoms



I dette scenarie fandt vi, at nogle klienter var berørt, mens andre ikke var.
For den berørte klient opstår problemet med både Win FS-sikkerhedskopier såvel som VSS-sikkerhedskopier.

Fra avtar-logfilerne kan vi se følgende fejlmeddelelse:
avtar FATAL <8941>: Fatal server connection problem, aborting initialization. Verify correct server address and login credentials.
avtar Info <5694>: - Failed initial handshake, trying again
avtar Info <5562>: - - Connect: Trying 10.xx.xx.xx:29000
Adding log debugging we can see the extra bit of information in the log:

    [avtar]  sslcertificate::verify_cnname Performing CN Name validation for Avamar Server RSA TLS
    [avtar]  uwrapper::gethostbyaddr DnsQuery(dns)  returned (9002) for 10.xx.xx.xx

For the troubleshooting purpose we checked and confirmed that the TCP ports 28001, 28002, 27000 and 29000 were all open and within the correct TCP directions as per Avamar security guide, ping and DNS resolution were also working fine.


 

Cause

Dette problem skyldes den lange svartid i DNS-forespørgslerne, faktisk kan vi se, at "DnsQuery (dns) returneret" tog mere end 10 sekunder hver gang, bemærk håndtryksprocessen, kør et antal forespørgselsforsøg, før det mislykkes helt.

Som pr. Eksempel:
2019/03/05-10:22:41.39299 [avtar]  sslcertificate::verify_cnname Performing CN Name validation for Avamar Server RSA TLS
2019/03/05-10:22:53.30100 [avtar]  uwrapper::gethostbyaddr DnsQuery(dns)  returned (9002) for 10.xx.xx.xx
And the entire handshake process would require about 50 seconds to complete and fail:

2019/03/05-10:22:14.89800 [avtar]  sslsockimpl::open  initclient success
....
2019/03/05-10:23:05.41599 [avtar]  sslsockimpl::open  failure

For comparison here is an example from a working client where we see that the the "DnsQuery" is returned in less than 1 second:
2019/03/05-11:56:06.97600 [avtar]  sslcertificate::verify_cnname Performing CN Name validation for <avamar-server-fqdn>
2019/03/05-11:56:07.79600 [avtar]  uwrapper::gethostbyaddr DnsQuery(dns)  returned (9002) for 10.xx.xx.xx
And the entire handshake process would complete in about 13 seconds:

2019/03/05-11:55:54.12400 [avtar]  sslsockimpl::open  initclient success
...
2019/03/05-11:56:07.82899 [avtar]  sslsockimpl::open  initclient success, cipher: AES256-SHA
In a summary, the root cause is identified as DnsQuery spent too much time on the affected client machines.

Resolution

For at løse denne type problemer skal systemadministratoren udføre handlinger på DNS-serveren for at løse denne forsinkelse.

Da problemet ligger uden for anvendelsesområdet for Avamar-sikkerhedskopieringsproduktet, skal systemadministratoren aktiveres.

Additional Information

Hvis du oplever de samme fejl, men i dit tilfælde DNS-respose på mindre end et sekund, oplever du muligvis en anden type problem.
