Quando você executa o script checkCertNeedUpdate.sh / checkVxmCertExpiredAndDNS.sh manualmente, leva mais de cinco minutos.
 

Cause

O arquivo /etc/hosts tem o fqdn do VxRail Manager e ::1 O que está causando esse atraso no script.

Resolution

Para resolver esse problema: 

  • Fazer um backup do arquivo de hosts cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.bak.
  • Usando o VI, remova o FQDN do VxRail Manager e ::1 do /etc/hosts .
  • Execute o script novamente, e ele deve fornecer uma saída imediatamente.
  • Repita o upgrade.
