  • 1.  dxToolkit not connecting to host after IP change

    Posted 09-08-2022 03:17:00 PM
    After a recent IP change for our Delphix engine, and updating dxtools.conf with that new IP, dxtoolkit is unable to log into the server.  Are there other configuration changes needed that I'm missing.

    Sample error ...

    login to <new IP address> failed.
    Use of uninitialized value $dx_host in concatenation (.) or string at script/dx_get_capacity.pl line 134.
    Can't connect to Dephix Engine

    Hello David-

    In general, there should be no other changes required; the error has been seen in some other instances but I don't see consistent root causes.  If you can share a copy of your dxtools.conf (with username/password removed, of course), along with debug output (add -debug 3 to the command execution), we should be able to assist further.

    It would also help to ensure you are using the latest release of dxToolkit.

    Hi Sean,

    The config file (with ID, PW, IP removed) and the debug output are below.  dxToolkit hasn't been updated since we installed it, so it's probably at least a year and a half old.

    $ more dxtools.conf
    {
    "data" : [
    {
    "encrypted" : "true",
    "hostname" : "ovart0054",
    "protocol" : "http",
    "timeout" : "600",
    "default" : "true",
    "password" : "xxxxx",
    "ip_address" : "xxxxx",
    "port" : "80",
    "username" : "xxxxx"
    },
    {
    "default" : "true",
    "ip_address" : "xxxxx",
    "password" : "xxxxx",
    "username" : "xxxxx",
    "port" : "80",
    "encrypted" : "true",
    "hostname" : "ovart0054_sys",
    "timeout" : "600",
    "protocol" : "http"
    }
    ]
    }

    I've found the issue. Passwords in dxtools.conf need to be re-encrytped since the IP address is used as part of the encryption.

    Password encryption procedure

    Password encryption is based on an encryption key build as combination of user name, Delphix Engine IP and from version 2.4.X a host name where dxtoolkit is installed
