Reference of previous hostname prevents to upgrade to 9.4TS1M5

el_grom — Wed, 07 Nov 2018 08:49:54 GMT

Hello everyone,

I'm facing a strange situation and I feel I tried everything I could. Here is the situation:

Fact:

SAS 9.4 was installed by a new co-worker and he did the setup by registering the metadata server on one of the network interface (the bad one of course :()

Our server has 2 network interfaces: let's call them <hostname>.good.local and <hostname>.bad.local

Trigger:

I'm trying to upgrade SAS from 9.4TS1M3 to 9.4TS1M5

Issue:

When the configuration occurs during the upgrade process, if fails on stage 8 (refresh/renew content) saying that it can't connect to the metadataserver.

If I look closely, I can see it tries to reach the metadata by connecting to <hostname>.bad.local

What I tried:

I checked the sasv9* config files and they're using .good.local

I tried the "hostname update" from SAS Deployment manager" - It succeed but still the error

I tried to change the etc/hosts file from my computer to trick it but no luck

I tried to manually change every files containing .bad.local and replace it with .good.local - No luck

I tried to "renew entire configuration" after all the previous steps are done but no luck. Worst, I see that it changes back from the configuration files .good.local by .bad.local.

Questions:

Is there a way to make it stop using .bad.local?

How can he still use it when I removed it everywhere possible?

Thanks for your help

@el_grom,

You have to change host name references using the SAS Deployment Manager:

Using the SAS Deployment Manager to Update Host Name References

Hello @alexal,

This is the second point I mentioned in section "what I tried".

It didn't help (procedure succeed but same result when upgrading)

@el_grom,

Did you try that before or after the upgrade?

Hi @el_grom

I only have a Windows machine handy, but try look in ..\<<config dir>>\Levx\metadataConfig.xml

Re: Reference of previous hostname prevents to upgrade to 9.4TS1M5

el_grom — Wed, 07 Nov 2018 15:06:35 GMT

@alexal,

I did before the upgrade

As this is a VM, I did a snapshot before trying each steps and revert it when the upgrade failed

@nhvdwalt,

Good news, I'm on Windows too (I should have mentioned that)

However, this file was modified.

I did a full scan with powershell to find each mention of <hostname>.bad.local then change every possible (= editable) file

When I start the upgrade, files point to <hostname>.good.local and during the upgrade process ,files are modified back to <hostname>.bad.local

So weird

nhvdwalt — Wed, 07 Nov 2018 18:17:41 GMT

I see you already changed /etc/hosts but it didn't work, I wonder why.

What happens if you add the 'good' IP address with the 'bad' hostname and then ping to 'bad' hostname ?

Or even a telnet...

telnet bad.host 8561

el_grom — Thu, 08 Nov 2018 08:01:06 GMT

Actually, when I change the host file, I see (with netstat) that it starts listening on .good.local IP but, during the upgrade process, it switches to .bad.local IP.

Then, probably messed up with routing table (answers done to the other network interface or smthg)

I see in one of the logs file that it know the server with both FQDN and both IP.

This is the weirdest thing: I actually see it rolling back the config files during the update process

Re: Reference of previous hostname prevents to upgrade to 9.4TS1M5

nhvdwalt — Thu, 08 Nov 2018 08:45:20 GMT

My concern here is that even if we do find the answer to this one, we'll just get to then next one, etc. This is 'weird territory' as I like to call it....

Is there any opportunity to maybe just do a complete re-install ? Might be more effort, but it buy you confidence in the installation.

Re: Reference of previous hostname prevents to upgrade to 9.4TS1M5

nhvdwalt — Thu, 08 Nov 2018 08:54:45 GMT

Are we 100% sure the connection refused is because of wrong hostname and not invalid credentials maybe ?

What does the Metadata server log say ?

Re: Reference of previous hostname prevents to upgrade to 9.4TS1M5

el_grom — Thu, 08 Nov 2018 13:02:08 GMT

Am I 1000% sure? No

Few first tries, I thought it was due to something in the WebInfrastructurePlatform as it failed during this particular step. Following the error, I managed to point the Metadata Server.

I consider the bad password but:

1) The logic behind the password (our logic) is respected

2) I tried to update them with the deployment manager and it succeed (except for sasadm@saspw but I suspect something else)

In the metadataserver logs from D:\SASConfig\Lev1\SASMeta\MetadataServer\Logs\, the file produced during the failed step shows a bunch of these

2018-11-07T10:22:23,184 INFO  [00000097] :sasadm@saspw - New client connection (6) accepted from server port 8561 for user sasadm@saspw. Encryption level is Credentials using encryption algorithm SASPROPRIETARY. Peer IP address and port are [::ffff:<ip>]:50425 for APPNAME=ConnectionService 904500.

The only message flag with "ERROR" is

2018-11-07T10:21:54,554 ERROR [00000007] :SYSTEM@<HOSTNAME> - ERROR: 20181107:10.21.54.55: 00000007:ERROR: Could not find extension: (tkcache)

Otherwise, it's INFO everywhere

Any other idea welcome.

Redo the setup could be considered but will request a much bigger effort from our side to get the same product

At the time when you receive ...

java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

Can you correlate that timestamp to anything in the Metadata server log ?

Re: Reference of previous hostname prevents to upgrade to 9.4TS1M5

What do you have in

D:\SASConfig\Lev1\Logs\Configure\webinfpltfm_config_status.properties

In the interest of time, I would suggest you open a ticket with Tech Support. You can PM me the Track #

There is no such file.

Will do. I'd have expected that this was a dummy issue but it's not 😞

Is this resolved? Im having the same issue.

Re: Reference of previous hostname prevents to upgrade to 9.4TS1M5

Hi,
Not exactly, we solved this by restarting the services during the upgrade process. (Metamanager or something)
The support guy had access to another more explicit documentation and it did the trick.
My feeling is that you need a lot of luck to make it work. Roll dice

Hello @el_grom,

well, perhaps late, as I arrived late, but wondering if you have tried to run "sasdm -confighostname <hostname>.bad.local" ? Or "sasdm -confighostname <hostname>.good.local"?

I wonder if it can help you or others refered to this thread looking for help.

Indeed, the check with SAS Tech Support folks, is the best approach, as they can provide better support.

On the other hand, I do not know how large is your SAS deployment. If it is not too large, perhaps a clean and brand-new install (fixing the bad network config) and a partial promotion could be the best approach for some. Not only you ensure a good install for the longer term, but perhaps it would take less time than this troubleshooting and waiting.

This is what I would advise and do, and I would wonder why upgrade to M5 and no a newer maintenance.

I hope a new perspective can help.

Best regards,

Juan
