NetApp XCP 

Answer

  • Retries is the number of retries XCP did after receiving any error(TCP error, RPC error due to network issues) while scanning/checking file.
  • Unknown stats is the unknown reply during retransmission of XCP requests. 

Example:

2021-03-26 13:46:29,112 - INFO - 26369 xcp xcp 104 unknown, 129 retries, 45932475 scanned, 6328 copied, 6328 indexed, 45920821 reviewed, 45920821 checked at source, 45920821 re-reviewed, 6328 new files, 45920821 reindexed, 24.9 GiB in (4.40 MiB/s), 7.98 GiB out (1.41 MiB/s), 1h36m.

Note: These are just counters XCP showing and has no issues if the status is showing "PASSED"

Additional Information

Along with unknown and retries we can also see below in logs, if the status is showing as passed and has no issues this can be ignored too as it got reconnected after 1 try.

xcp: Reopener (101622 isChild True) 'cxcx-nfs.xx.com tcp 2049 nfs3 c0 755': WARNING: reconnected in 0.007s after 1 try during 0s

xcp: Reopener (514628 isChild false ) 'xcxc-nfs.xx.com tcp 2049 nfs3 c0 654': WARNING: reconnected in 0.007s after 1 try during 0s
