A.17 Workaround to Resolve DB Site Replication Alarms

The following procedure resolves DB site replication alarms if encountered during the upgrade. This procedure restarts the inetrep process on the server that has a DB replication failure alarm. Database (DB) replication failure alarms may display during an Auto Site Upgrade or during an event that resets multiple servers in parallel. The DB on the child servers is not updated until resolved.

1. Server CLI: Log in to the server.
   1. Use the SSH command (on UNIX systems – or putty if running on Windows) to log in to the active NOAM:

      ssh admusr@<server address>

      password: <enter password>

      Answer yes if you are asked to confirm the identity of the server.

2. Server CLI: Check if the replication links are up.
   1. Execute this command:

      irepstat

      Some of the B-C and C-C replications links may be down.

3. Server CLI: Resolve replication issue
   1. Execute this command:

      sudo pm.kill inetrep

      Note:

      Repeat this procedure on each affected server.
