All Admin down,console error: INIT: cannot execute "/var/nasexe/administration_start"
Hi,
I have 2 DSS6 6.0up90.8101.5845 32bit with replication in between them (two volumes each cross-replication).
One of the boxes stopped responding to any web request to the administration interface with "The connection was reset" displaying in the browser. Both CLI and API give "Server unexpectedly closed network connection" error.
I went to the physical server console everything looks normal but as soon as I hit Ctrl+Alt+T to reset the web interface I go this:

and this repeats every 5 min...
These servers are used to store VMs from a vSphere 5.0 environment over FC, this is all working fine and VM files and storage is fully functional. When I access the web interface on the other DSS server I can see that the replication task for the volume that is source there seems to be working fine, but I do not have any way to find out if the replication task for the volume that is destination is working (problem box is the source)...
This happened to me once already but the system was not being used yet and I just power cycled the server, If I am not able to gracefully shutdown that server and more importantly stop the replication tasks on it first, how should I proceed to avoid data corruption or any other problems? after I stop all VMs and all access to the data, should I just forcefully reboot that server an then try to start the replication tasks normally?
