Resolving Gateway Receiver Removal on Locator and Server Restart Due to Cluster Configuration Reload

Products

• VMware Tanzu Gemfire

Issue/Introduction

On locator and server restart, gateway receivers with hostname-for-senders are removed from the cluster configuration, preventing WAN replication from occurring. The following log message is generated:

[info ...] Removed invalid cluster configuration gateway-receiver element=<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><gateway-receiver hostname-for-senders="<service.bosh>" manual-start="false" xmlns="http://geode.apache.org/schema/cache"/>

Environment

Vmware Tanzu GemFire on Cloud Foundry, Version 10.1.1

 

 

Cause

A configuration update removes gateway receivers with hostname-for-senders after locator and server restarts to prevent multiple receiver definitions.

Resolution

To re-establish the gateway receiver configuration, follow these steps:

• Run the bosh run-errand prime-cluster-for-pcc errand.
• Alternatively, restart the service instance using the cf CLI.

This will temporarily restore the configuration until a permanent fix is implemented.
