Troubleshooting

Running scp -vvv [file] user@host:/home/user where the file is of a few MBs from another host should be able to provide more insight on the issue.

Below are a few examples of what to expect based on different possible issues:

Login as the OS environment user and check that the ulimit -f is set as to unlimited:

[delphix@environment ~]$ ulimit -f
unlimited

If not, please contact your sysadmin to change it.

Please review your .bashrc file and remove/comment out any interactive commands or change the script to detect the shell type (external link with example: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/154395/running-scp-when-bashrc-of-remote-machine-includes-source-command).

MTU mismatch

It is possible that the following returns a diverse error from the one reported in the KB. In fact, the connection may hang for a long time in such cases:

Our documentation provide a few examples on how to test the MTU from your environment to the Delphix engine here: https://docs.delphix.com/docs/best-practices/best-practices-for-network-configuration
Please refer to section 2.f Jumbo frames check via ping.
Please notice that the test is not limited to Jumbo frames but also standard MTU of 1500 bytes can be checked with the same method.

MTU can be determined via "ifconfig -a" in most Unix/Linux environments. For example:

[delphix@environment ~]$ ifconfig -a
ens192: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

The Delphix engine's MTU can be viewed under the Network section in the Server Setup page, by logging in as a sysadmin user.
For example:
