FMC fails to backup. CSM backup failed

[akhon0001]

Hi, please help me to understand and find the reason.
Can't do a backup at all. CSM backup failed error appears in the GUI. After I checked the logs in /var/log/backup.log there are the following messages:

I found a similar article with ERROR(1735): Database vms backup failed and . Check the log file for information. ,

But SQL errors are different.

hello
The backup was performed locally in the /var/sf/backup/ folder, there is no remote storage.
I did not quite understand what FMC running on affected version and FMC backing up local or remote mean.
Can you please explain what this means?

[RachelGomez161999]

Please go to the CLI of the device, become root and run this command:

Command: mysql -padmin sfsnort -e "select name,ip,uuid,role from EM_peers where role !=0"

This would list out all the peers, find the UUID and IP of the Chassis Mgr which you added wrongly. and then run this command:

remove_peer.pl <IP>

remove_peer.pl <~IP>

remove_peer.pl <uuid>

remove_peer.pl <~uuid>

This should fix the issue. Let me know how it goes.

Regards,

Rachel Gomez

Thanks for the suggestion, but I haven't tried it yet. Tell me, can this command somehow affect the performance of the device? since the equipment is in production.
Thank you!

Hello,

For me, restarting FMC helped.
