Resolution

Avamar versions 19.x onwards:

1. Take a backup of mcserver.xml and update the RabbitMQ password in mcserver.xml to the default 'Avamar_Rabbit' and edit the file:

cp -p /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/prefs/mcserver.xml /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/prefs/x-mcserver.xml

vi /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/prefs/mcserver.xml


2. Change the <entry key="rabbitmqAP" to the default password 'Avamar_Rabbit'

<entry key="rabbitmqAP" value="Avamar_Rabbit" />


3. Restart the Management Console Service (MCS), as admin user:

mcserver.sh --restart --force


4. Re-create the RabbitMQ User/Permissions/Password/vHost as root user, and use the following steps to do so automatically.

service rabbitmq-server stop
cd /data01/avamar/var/rabbitmq/mnesia
mkdir /data01/rabbit_mnesia_backup
mv rabbit@localhost* /data01/rabbit_mnesia_backup/
ls -ltr /data01/rabbit_mnesia_backup/
service rabbitmq-server start
msgbrokerctl.pl --remove
msgbrokerctl.pl --stop
msgbrokerctl.pl --start


5. Restart Tomcat as root user.

emwebapp.sh --restart


6. Test PDM recommendation.
