VCSA 6.7U1 backups when multiple route objects exists

[mulae]

Since we've upgraded to VCSA 6.7U1 (10244745) we seemt o have encountered a problem affecting our backups. We have HA configured and the interfaces need to reside on a different subnet. We have configured the static routes in "/etc/systemd/network/10-eth0.network" and they work fine without any probs at all.

However when we execute the backup we get this message in the backup log file : 2019-01-18T10:48:03.883 [MainProcess:PID-10257] ERROR: BackupManager encountered an exception: While reading from '/etc/systemd/network/10-eth0.network.manual' [line 17]: section 'Route' already exists

Upon commenting the route objects backup works fine.

We tested this again on 6.7U1b (11726888) and when we execute a backup with multiple routes we get the same result of backup failed. ( different outcome as backup doesnt even start, and a support dump is created).

Has anyone tried taking backups of 6.7U1 with multiple route statements in the network config ? We already have a support ticket open however investigation and reply is taking too long

My eth0 network file is as per below :

[Match]

Name=eth0

[Network]

Gateway=172.16.xxx.1

Address=172.16.145.10/24

DHCP=no

[DHCP]

UseDNS=false

[Route]

Gateway=xxxx

Destination=yyyy/32

[Route]

Gateway=xxxx.1

Destination=yyy/32

[Route]

Gateway=xxxx.1

Destination=yyy/32

Thanks!

Hi,

This issue is because backup reads line by line and if it found anything duplicate it will give an error.

For get this resolved comment the line [Route] -> #[Route] and change gateway and destination to Gateway0, Destination0 and so on.

The /etc/systemd/network/10-eth0.network file should look like

#[Route]

Gateway0=x.x.x.x

Destination0=x.x.x.x

#[Route]

Gateway1=x.x.x.x

Destination1=x.x.x.x

#[Route]

Gateway2=x.x.x.x

Destination2=x.x.x.x/24

Note: If gateway does not provide proper connectivity, replace GatewayX with GATEWAY X=y.y.y.y

With Regards

Hello.

I have the same problem.I'm trying to change /etc/systemd/network/10-eth0.network:

[Match]

Name=eth0

[Network]

Gateway=10.70.1.254

Address=10.70.1.240/24

DHCP=no

[DHCP]

UseDNS=false

[Route]

Gateway0=10.70.1.1

Destination0=10.69.40.0/22

[Route]

Gateway1=10.70.1.1

Destination1=10.69.46.0/26

1. After applying the changes i restart networking "systemctl restart systemd-networkd", the routing table is cleared, the default route remains. But ping to another network working normaly.

2. I try to backup and have the same error: ERROR: BackupManager encountered an exception: While reading from '/etc/systemd/network/10-eth0.network' [line 15]: section 'Route' already exists

Version:

6.7.0.20000

I know it's not a direct solution for your problem but why not do the routing in the network instead of trying to do it inside the VCSA?

Hello we have same problem vith VCSA 7 but modifing the 10-eth0.network the routing does not work anymore. We cannot global network due to security policies. Any idea?
