Attempting to FLR of a Linux machine, and you are receiving the following error message in the vRanger GUI
"Error : ShellCommandVznlinuxio failed to attach in a timely fashion."
This error is formed with the path for the UNC of the CIFS repository if a loopback IP address is used in the configuration of the CIFS repository, such as if the local loopback address is used instead of using the server name. Please check the properties of the USB CIFS Repository to see what the Server Path is in the repository's configuration. If the repository configured as Localhost or 127.0.0.1, then it is subject ot this behavior. To get around this behavior, a vRanger CIFS repository should be configured using the IP, short form hostname or FQDN of its parent, such as below :
When the command is passed to the virtual appliance, the VA is looking on itself for the CIFS repository and can't find it located there. This attributed to the repository's path being unknown.
The fix for this issue is to replace the following in the CIFS configuration:
Replace..
\\127.0.0.1\
with..
\\server host name\ or \\server FQDN
