Dtrace of the associated archiving task that causes the issue will show multiple threads that appear to hang at the following line:

4135    11:20:54.451     [13296]    (EvLotusDominoJournalTask)    <13088>    EV-L    {DomNAB.DuplicateNamedRecipients} Checking for duplicates of name [CN=User5/O=evdom] using server [CN=DOM01/O=evdom]

Once the issue occurs all EV processes utilizing Lotus Notes on the Enterprise Vault server will be affected as Lotus Notes is no longer able to initialize. This includes DA exports from Domino archives, provisioning tasks, indexing, and other retrievals from users. 

Cause

The cause of this issue is due to a defect in Enterprise Vault 14.1 for Domino Archiving. The issue only occurs in environments where there are multiple Domino Directories in use. 

To determine if more than just the Names.nsf is in use filter the Dtrace on 'Found NAB:'

The lines may appear as follows:

{DomNAB.Initialise} Found NAB: server = [CN=DOM01/O=evdom], file = [NAMES.nsf], port = [], title = [evdom's Directory]
 {DomNAB.Initialise} Found NAB: server = [CN=DOM01/O=evdom], file = [externalusers.nsf], port = [], title = [External Users]

 

Resolution

Workaround:

As a temporary work around and so that export and retrieval processes will be available please perform the following:

1) Set any the Mailbox Archiving and or the Journal Archiving tasks for Domino to Manual Start up. 

2) Reboot the affected Enterprise Vault servers. 

3) While archiving tasks may not process mailboxes end users will be able to retrieve and export from Domino archives. 

4) Contact support and request the patch that is available for Enterprise Vault 14.1. 

5) After applying the patch journal archiving will work as expected. However, there may be issues with Mailbox Archiving. If you still experience issues with Mailbox Archiving for Domino please see the following Tech Note:

This issue has been addressed in Enterprise Vault versions 14.1.1, 14.2; available from Downloads.
 

Issue/Introduction
