Troubleshooting multiple data center configurations

Use this information to troubleshoot multiple data center configurations, including linking between catalog service domains.

Before you begin

You must use the xscmd utility to troubleshoot your multiple data center configurations. For more information, see Administering with the xscmd utility.

Procedure

Problem: Data is missing in one or more catalog service domains. For example, you might run the xscmd -c establishLink command. When you look at the data for each linked catalog service domain, the data looks different, for example from the xscmd -c showMapSizes command.

Solution: You can troubleshoot this problem with the xscmd -c showLinkedPrimaries command. This command prints out each primary shard, and including which foreign primaries are linked.

In the described scenario, you might discover from running the xscmd -c showLinkedPrimaries command that the first catalog service domain primary shards are linked to the second catalog service domain primary shards, but the second catalog service domain does not have links to the first catalog service domain. You might consider rerunning the xscmd -c establishLink command from the second catalog service domain to the first catalog service domain.
