TB090 Delphix Engines Using SDD May Become Unresponsive
Alert Type
Availability
Impact
In some cases following a Replication Send that uses the Selective Data Distribution feature (aka SDD, or replicating ONLY masked data), a Delphix Engine can become unresponsive or stuck in a quickly rebooting loop. This can result in a state where:
- GUI, CLI, and API may not be available, or only running for a very short time repeatedly.
- VDB storage may not be accessible and all VDBs could become unresponsive or crash.
- Scheduled jobs will not run, such as Snapshots or Refreshes.
