SFTP Uprocs fail with Error in the SSH layer

Products

• CA Automic Dollar Universe

Issue/Introduction

Suddenly, we notice some failures of uprocs that send files from our NFS to FTP with error: Error detail: Error in the SSH layer 

Other uprocs run fine with similar action.

The sftp-connection between both nodes runs fine (linux)

Any idea what can be the cause of this?

Environment

Release : 6.x

Component : DOLLAR UNIVERSE

Area: SFTP Uprocs

Cause

The problem was that the inodes of the target SFTP server were full for that filespace ( this could be checked with df -i)

Resolution

Cleanup the filesystem with the inodes full issue.
