Issue

  • The sliceServiceUnhealthy warning as following is detected from a cluster which is using remote replication snapshot and setting a schedule to delete the snapshots periodically.

Example:

25 2019-06-17T18:04:33.957Z Warning service 3 37 Yes 2019-06-17T18:10:38.400Z sliceServiceUnhealthy SolidFire Application cannot communicate with a metadata service.
23 2019-06-14T17:04:54.761Z Warning service 3 37 Yes 2019-06-14T17:09:38.927Z sliceServiceUnhealthy SolidFire Application cannot communicate with a metadata service.
20 2019-06-13T20:04:28.626Z Warning service 3 37 Yes 2019-06-13T20:08:47.734Z sliceServiceUnhealthy SolidFire Application cannot communicate with a metadata service.
 
  • From the event on the Active IQ, as the periodical deletion of the snapshots, the Slice service is restarted and generates the core dump occasionally.
