Remote Root Account Transfer Warnings

John Schmerold
I am transferring from one cpanel server to another. The log is filled with these warnings:
(XID ccjksv) rsync streaming failed: The "/usr/bin/rsync" command (process 6174) reported error number 12 when it ended.

    Are the accounts transferring at all? If not, there is a connection issue between the servera, can you try simply SSH'ing from the server you are migrating FROM to the server you are migrating TO?

    I can ssh between servers. I am transferring all accounts to a new server. I know they are communicating because I am getting other errors such as this one: Set EasyApache4 PHP version for domain "katy.com" to "inherit" because version "ea-php71" is not installed I installed php 7.1 on the new server to deal with that issue :-)

    Yeah this is a tough one because we need to see more of the logs. If you go into WHM > "Review Transfers and Restores" and click one of the ones throwing the error, does it show more logging before rsync throws the error code.

    Jcats, thank you so much for your willingness to help. The log is attached.

    Meh, nothing useful. I would try running rsync manually on one of the accounts:
    rsync -ahvz /home/fastnet1/ remoteserver:/home/fastnet1/
    otherwise it has to be related to that token error, but see what happens if you run rsync manually.

    That worked. I wonder if the problem was caused by my specifying an IP address for the source server, as a consequence, there is no way to validate the ssl certificate. I'll try that and report back - unless you have other ideas. Thanks again!

    We have a winner. When specifying "Remote Server Address", the Transfer tool needs a host name so it can verify the SSL certificate. Thanks for your help.

    Hi @John Schmerold, I'm glad you were able to address the issue. I'd like to reproduce this behavior in a test environment to determine if we should open an internal case to prevent this from happening, or to improve our documentation to note the requirement to use the hostname. Could you verify which versions of cPanel were installed on the source and destination servers? Additionally, which options were selected in "WHM >> Transfer Tool" when initiating the transfer? Thanks!

    Hello, To update, this issue should be addressed by internal case CPANEL-14509: Fixed case CPANEL-14509: Transfer Tool: Handle source servers on early versions of 11.64 properly. The resolution is currently published to cPanel version 66, and is planned for inclusion with cPanel version 64 in a future build. You can monitor the cPanel 64 change log to see when it's published at: 64 Change Log - Change Logs - cPanel Documentation Thank you.

    This is from my transfer log: (XID b89ccf) rsync streaming failed: The "/usr/bin/rsync --progress --human-readable --archive --verbose --force --rsh /usr/local/cpanel/bin/whm_xfer_download-ssl --read_input_from_fd=21 --exclude lscache --hard-links remote: /home2/username/" command (process 3138862) reported error number 20 when it ended. The system aborted the subprocess because it reached the timeout of 10,800 seconds. but everything finished fine. Except the transfer session, which is still active and never finishes. But the account is 100% restored and it looks fine. Do I have to abort the transfer session, or I have to check somethings else?

    @webmasteryoda - it would be odd for all the files to be moved if the rsync failed, but if you can confirm that everything is in place (possibly by checking the size of directories on both systems) then it would be fine to kill the transfer session. The latest post in this thread has more details on manually killing this if the interface won't let you: WHM Transfer Tool Issue-Unable to Abort
