QAS is using old domain controllers after they have been removed or decommissioned from service -
Description
Old domain controllers are sometimes showing up in QAS logs long after they have been removed from SRV records in DNS.
Also vastool status reports: FAILURE: 301 QAS cannot find a Domain Controller (DC) that it can communicate with
-
Cause
The old server names are still found in QAS's USN cache which is not being updated properly when the servers are removed.
Product Defect ID 427080 - Decommissioned DC's are not removed from USN_CACHE -
Résolution
RESOLUTION:
1 - Running the "/opt/quest/bin/vastool flush" command will remove the old DC from all caches.
2 - In 4.1 vasd must also be stopped and then restarted due to 4.1 handling srvinfo in a daemon.
WORKAROUNDIf the resolution above does not remove the old DC from all caches then they can be manually removed by running the following command./opt/quest/bin/vastool daemon stop vasd; printf ".timeout 5000\ndelete from srvinfo;\ndelete from usn_cache;\n" | /opt/quest/libexec/vas/sqlite3 -header /var/opt/quest/vas/vasd/vas_misc.vdb; /opt/quest/bin/vastool daemon start vasd ; sleep 5; /opt/quest/bin/vastool flush
STATUS: Corrected in 5.1.3 via defect #428081. From the 5.1.3 Release Notes: Previously, vastool flush srvinfo failed to remove invalid entries from the
srvinfo cache. After the fix, vastool flush srvinfo removes all entries. 428081" -

Informations supplémentaires
Running the "vastool flush srvinfo" command instead of a full flush may also be sufficient to correct this problem.
