Customer Environment

2024-11-06T01:00:50+00:00 127.0.0.1 java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: @@3001,cassandraError,Unknown keyspace/cf pair (icx_m.file)

Occurs even after a fresh installation with no ICX configuration.

Root Cause

The error message indicates that the Cassandra repair process is attempting to access the icx_m.file keyspace, which stores ICX switch configuration files. Since the customer has no ICX configuration files stored, the keyspace does not exist, causing the error.

Troubleshooting Steps

Review event.log for recurring Cassandra repair errors.
Confirm if ICX configuration files are present.
Validate that the system is otherwise functioning normally.

Resolution

This behavior occurs because SmartZone attempts Cassandra repair on all keyspaces, including icx_m.file, even if unused.
It does not impact system functionality.
Applies to all SmartZone releases including R5.2, R6.1 and R7.x
