Rsync missing after upgrade to 9.4.0.9

[Sid Young]

For the past year 6 months I have been migrating data to our A2000 using rsync, today Dell upgraded it to 9.4.0.9 and rsync is no longer installed. Needless to say my final data migration is stalled and my daily data exports has stopped.

How do I get rsync re-installed? I've asked for an SR to be opened but get blank responses from Dell.

If you are not getting traction from Support (much of my experience as of late), lean on your account team.  And if you are lucky enough to have a dedicated support manager, loop them in.  The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Yeah 9.4.0.7 its removed also. Its a bit of a bummer as if we had to do a large restore from secondary synciq target cluster to source we would use rsync generally.

After Isilon removed Aspera support we spun up Linux machines that handled the transfers between Isilon’s and 3rd party storage or other endpoints. I would simply do that. This also helps prevent break changes in your pipeline tools as well. Since all you need is NFS support (we are running 4.1 and can easily max out 10gig connection on our transfer servers which is using Alma Linux 9.1 running on an ovirt cluster with a mellanox 40gig cx5 card. 

Also check out rclone instead of rsync. Has many more feature parallel transfers and easily go to different types of local or cloudy s3 type storage.

I feel you pain.   We upgraded ours to 9.3 from 8 right before we started the migration which deprecated the native Celerra/VNX migration utility.  We contemplated purchasing Datadobi but opted to to save the money and just used robocopy.  It was only about 90TB.

Not that this would be "officially" supported, but you can also just find out what version of FreeBSD they worked for 9.4.0.7 and go fire up a VM and statically build a binary for rsync then scp it over.

It's just freeBSD ;)

I have done this in the past with tools (like tcptrack) with some success.

Thanks for the feedback, I emailed the PM for this project, the upgrade was required as we purchased 2x A3000 models to expand the existing 2 Isilons with another 2. I will see what the SR has achieved. 

I could try pkg install rsync afyer that?
