Symptoms

Server Disaster Recovery backups start failing after PowerProtect Data Manager is renamed. The error message seen in serverdr logs (/var/log/brs/serverdr/serverdr.log) is: 
INFO [] [https-jsse-nio-8456-exec-6] [][][][TRACE_ID:b0d4e90f5ed03383][] [c.e.d.e.c.s.c.d.r.BackupRepositoryDao.executeCommand(426)] - executeCommand start cmd=[/usr/bin/sudo, /opt/emc/boostfs/bin/boostfs, mount, -d, <ppdm_ip>, -s, SysDR_<ppdm_shortname>, -o, allow-others=true, /data01/server_backups]

Cause

Boostfs lockbox is invalidated right after PowerProtect Data Manager name is changed. The change could be on the name itself or the domain.

Resolution

  1. SSH to PowerProtect Data Manager as admin user
  2. Change to root user: su -
  3. cd /opt/emc/boostfs/lockbox/
  4. mkdir OLD
  5. mv boost* OLD1
  6. Go to PowerProtect Data Manager UI and save the serverDR configuration
