Hello all,
Using EV90SP2, with EMC Centera as storage for Journal Stores.
On 1 Journal server, there is an issue with 'items awaiting backup/replication'. This seems to be due to 1 clip being parked (viewable in the EMCCenteraViewer)
EMC support has been working on that for longer than a week now, and I thought to ask here if annyone possibly has a solution. I have found a KB article showing how to find the items that are in the clip. That works fine. EMC has been trying to replicate the clip, but until now they have failed to get it replicated, and thus disappear from the parking. Thanks to an article of JW3, I traced the StorageFileWatch on that specific JournalServer, and it does show that it is checking the replication for that specific clip.
651 09:06:09.464 [10096] (StorageFileWatch) <9528> EV:L {CCenteraItemSecuredVerifier::CheckItem} (Entry) ItemName = [5HQF71RA63EL0e40KAJ6M8EA421G417OU8F96H03C3QGJ2DGMAP5A]
That number is the clip being parked.
I believe that this clip being parked is causing SFW to stop, due to this message in the dtrace:
9371 09:06:11.570 [10096] (StorageFileWatch) <4004> EV:M CCenteraItemSecuredVerifier::CheckItem Warning: Watch file partition scan will be stopped for following EMC Centera partition as consecutive [1] clips have not been replicated.|Partition Name = [VS Journaling EV0515 Ptn01]|VaultStoreEntryId = [1BDAB7E79851DB14E9181E77F369057891210000EV001].
Does anyone know if and how replication can be forced for this clip? Should the clip be deleted? (causing dataloss?) Can the clip be 'recreated' somehow, so it replicates properly? Any other option to get it going again?
Thanks for your input.
