Wanneer u het script handmatig checkCertNeedUpdate.sh / checkVxmCertExpiredAndDNS.sh uitvoert, duurt het meer dan vijf minuten.
Cause
Het bestand /etc/hosts heeft de fqdn van VxRail Manager en ::1 vermeldingen die deze vertraging in het script veroorzaken.
Resolution
Om dit probleem op te lossen:
- Maak een back-up van het hostbestand
cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.bak. - Gebruik VI om de FQDN van VxRail Manager te verwijderen en
::1van de/etc/hostsbestand. - Als het goed is, voert u het script opnieuw uit.
- Probeer de upgrade opnieuw uit te voeren.
