verification on backups

Roger Bayne May 16, 2019 7:19 PM

Performing backups on a 3 member cluster and getting this error on verification.

Discovery_Appliance-02: Verification of archive addm_product_content_rpms.tgz failed

Member file product_content/tideway-content-1.0.2019.03.1-764411.ga.noarch.rpm appears to be corrupt

Discovery_Appliance-03: Cannot read file data/datadir/p0002_nHost_hist from archive file /tmp/tmpNrFiPh/Backup/2019-05-17_000619_addm_backup/3cf818365567e7ae81667f00000104b9/addm_datastore_data.tgz

Unexpected end of stream

they seem to be archive items? Are these items to be concerned about?

Thank you in advance

I haven't seen this specific message before, but do you have upgrade archives sitting in /usr/tideway/var/upgrade?

If so, can you manually remove that file and re-try and backup?

Are you doing local backups? Do you have enough disk space available?

Why should /usr/tideway/var/upgrade be in anyway related to this?

What are you doing? A remote upgrade using SMB? What version of Discovery?

Sorry marked this as correct by accident when the system was refreshing. That said we will check for that file

We are on 11.3.4 and yes we are in the process of upgrading. we are not doing an upgrade but a backup and it fails on the file mentioned above. We are backing up to a windows share.

This is a common problem while trying to backup to a Windows Share.

KA: 000145008 fits your situation.

Discovery: Backup or restore using a SMB share on a Linux/Samba server fails on verification with "unexpected end of stream errors"

The jira cited in the KA: DRUD1-23905, is on the list of fixes for the next major release, which could be known as 11.5 or 12.0 (we don't know yet what number the next major release will have). The fix is not promised, but is planned.

If you were to disable the verification of the backup, then the backup would seem to be successful.
But, the restore would fail. The backup would be unusable.
So, don't do that.

That information is in the KA, but in case some folks can't open the KA, I just wanted to highlight it here.
