Replications fail with " Start of remote replication job timed out" error message. -
Descripción
On a Rapid Recovery Core, it may be noticed that replication jobs are failing with the following error message:
"System.TimeoutException: Start of remote replication job timed out. Job is waiting for start during long time."
-
Causa
One possible cause of this error message, is that replication jobs for certain agents are being held up by rollup jobs on either the source or target cores.
-
Resolución
For the failing agent, confirm the start time of the job on the source core, and the time of the failure.
Once this information is known, search the source and target Cores logs for events specific to the failing Agent and investigate when rollup jobs ran for that protected system including their start and finish times.
Confirm if rollups were happening during time of the failed replication jobs.
Possible resolutions:
- Ensure the Core with the issue meets the recommended specifications and has enough RAM for the rollup jobs to complete in a timely fashion.
- Adjust the replication schedule to allow a window for rollups to complete.
- Adjust the backup schedule on the source core to allow a window for nightly jobs to run.
- Increase the "RemoteReplicationJobStartTimeout" setting in the registry to a time that will allow for long queuing replication jobs to run (default is 20 minutes).
