Description

PVS vDisk not showing shows no server in size on Second PVS server in the site.

1. Two PVS servers in site.
2. Both have local storage for the vDisk's
3. Copy the vDisk file from one server to another.
4. Target server shows as No Server under size for the copied vDisk.
5. When checking the replication status, it shows replication is not successful

Resolution

Unblocked the port from firewall
Provisioning ServerUDP6890– 6909Inter-server communication

Problem Cause

Firewall was blocking ports used for PVS inter-server communication.

When collected simultaneous Wireshark from both the PVS servers while accessing the vDisk properties.
We can see that source PVS server is sending the UDP traffic to second PVS server but it never reached to second server.
Filtering the traffic on Wireshark on IP address of the PVS server, we cannot see the packets sent by source PVS on the wireshark traces of destination PVS server.
