Troubleshooting: Cleaning up of stale Resiliency Platform configurations
Prepare host fails with an error saying there are stale configurations on the host. The message shown in case of failure is "This host is already protected for DR or has stale configuration entries from a previous configuration. If you are sure about the stale configurations please clean up the stale entries on it using the cleanup script. Please refer to the Resiliency Platform documentation for details."
This step will fail in case there is some stale configuration already present from some past configuration. This includes presence of some stale configuration files and replication configuration on the node.
To perform the cleanup, need to perform following steps:
Login to the host which is being prepared for replication. (Ensure that this indeed is a stale node and not an existing protected host.)
Run the script with following steps:
Linux: /opt/VRTSsfmh/bin/perl /opt/VRTSsfmh/util/cleanup_stale_host.pl
Windows: "C:Program Files\Veritas\VRTSsfmh\bin\perl.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSsfmh\util\cleanup_stale_host.pl
On successful cleanup, the following output will be shown on the console: "Finished cleaning up stale Resiliency Platform configuration(s) on the node."
In case of failure, the message will be as: "Failed to clean up the stale Resiliency Platform configurations present on the node. Contact Veritas Support if the problem persists.
Once the node is cleaned up successfully, proceed to again run Prepare host for replication operation.
