Failed to attach replica instance. You must redeploy this replica instance by performing the following steps:  Install log FATAL: Did not receive the first change from the primary within the expected time period select latest_sweep_id from rsa_rep_util.AM_P2R_ReplicaStatus where action_cd = 'propagated'; select latest_sweep_id from rsa_rep_util.AM_P2R_PrimaryStatus where action_cd = 'written'; but 0 rows for each select * from rsa_rep_util.AM_PRIMARY_CAPTURE; 0 rows No Sweeps files in the /opt/rsa/am/replication directory, just latest_chgsets |
| Cause | Installing P5 or P6 on AM 8.1 before upgrade to AM 8.1 SP1 leaves behind a file, a 32-bit /lib/libreadline.so.5.2 as well as the symbolic link /lib/libreadline.so.5, which prevents the postgres utility {{psql}} (and others) from starting cleanly. Symptom is ERROR: ld.so: object '/lib/libreadline.so.5' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.}} in the /opt/rsa/am/replication/addreplicaxxxxxxxxxxx<date>.log |
| Resolution | Use work-around until fix announced in probably AM 8.1 SP1 P1 (scheduled) or later |
| Workaround | Short version: Delete /lib/libreadline.so.5, reboot the primary and try clean replica attachment with new replica deployment Engineering Note: If any one is attempting to do this manually
Longer answer: The fix is a simple cleanup script which removes the 32-bit /lib/libreadline.so.5.2 as well as the symbolic link /lib/libreadline.so.5 The change is introduced near the beginning of the patch manifest additions for bug fixes. When the patch P1 is installed the log will show: Cleanup /lib/libreadline installation Removing: /lib/libreadline.so.5 Removing: /lib/libreadline.so.5.2 or, if the files are already removed: Cleanup /lib/libreadline installation No need to clean: /lib/libreadline.so.5 No need to clean: /lib/libreadline.so.5.2 ________________________________________ The fix for this is not backed-out with un-install or rollback. The fix can be applied multiple times - has no effect if the files are already removed. |
| Notes | Cannot get replica to attach. AM81 primary is at SP1. VMware ESX host version 5. OVA installs correctly; primary and replica resolve forward and reverse DNS. If you attempt to run ./psql -h localhost -p 7050 -d db -U rsa_dba and see the the symptom ERROR: ld.so: object '/lib/libreadline.so.5' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored You have this problem, even if you get to the PGSQL db=# prompt |
