backup fails with SIGINT Error
Hi,
I am taking a backup of a 500G database using vbr.py script onto a remote host.
The backup is sometimes failing with the following message
8526: vbr client subproc on 15.224.232.116 terminates with returncode 255. Details in vbr_v_verlabqa01_node0002_client.log on that host.
Connection to 15.224.232.116 closed by remote host.
8525: vbr client subproc on 15.224.232.115 terminates with returncode 255. Details in vbr_v_verlabqa01_node0001_client.log on that host.
In the log the error that is seen when it fails is just that it is cancelled by SIGINT. I do not understand whats the reason for this. I didnt terminate the session. In fact I ran it in the background so that it shouldnt face this issue.
Later if I try to backup again sometimes it is successful and sometimes it fails. Please help me understand what is happening here.

Can you try increasing the number of concurrent connections ssh allows on the backup host.
I tried increasing the maxstartups parameter and re ran it.. It was successful..However still at times it takes three times to finish the backup with the same message but the backup is being successful eventually.
Is there anything else that might be causing it?
Thanks
Saumya
Is there any improvement after setting high value for that parameter?
Check if any old rsync is running, is yes kill it and run the vbr again.
Check the ssh time limits
Can you paste the whole error from vbr logs
Send me the output of grep MaxStartups /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Thanks,
Shobhit

I am not ssh'ing into the remote server, I run it from the server which needs the backup to be taken and the remote server name is just in the configuration file.

Backup Failed. : 17:36:20
When the connection is closed, Linux closes all sub-processes associated with the connection on the Vertica side because their parent has been torn down. It does so with a SIGINT, so that's where that comes from.
The backup machine sees that the connection that it established has been closed, and indicates as much in its error message.
So, question is, what's closing your connections? Do you have a firewall, router, load balancer, or any other sort of appliance between your backup server (where you're running vbr.py) and your Vertica cluster? We generally recommend having a direct connection if possible. If you do have a firewall of some sort, it is probably configured to close connections that run (and/or that appear idle) for too long. In which case you should update your firewall configuration -- the backup process can be lengthy, so has many long-running connections. vbr.py internally uses ssh for some of its commands, so you may be able to work around the issue by setting the "ServerAliveInterval" option in your SSH client config file on your machines.
Thanks Adam for the information.
We disabled the firewall between the vertica cluster and the backup server.
I am running the script on one node of the vertica cluster and in the configuration file I mentioned the backup host to be the remote backup host. Should I run the script on the remote backup host?
I will test by setting the ServerAliveInterval and will see if it works and will update.
Setting of ServerAliveInterval works like a charm
Thank you so much

I had the same scenario as Saumya and this is what I did...
#MaxStartups 10:30:60 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
#ServerAliveInterval 9000 /etc/ssh/ssh_config
#ClientAliveCountMax 3000 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
#ClientAliveInterval 9000 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
change these parameters in both the 3 node cluster and backup host as well...
It works....
how to set the ServerAliveInterval ? me too facing the same error.
but one difference is backup server also the same machine.
could you please in this regard.

In /etc/ssh/ssh_config file on linux box add the line ServerAliveInterval 9000
