PURPOSE

The note explains what to look for when experiencing the following error:

PRVF-5636 : The DNS response time for an unreachable node exceeded " 15000" ms on following nodes: racnode1

 

DETAILS

Cluster Verification (cluvfy or CVU) detects whether DNS is configured properly by looking up an unknown host and expecting the command to finish in less than 15 seconds.

$ nslookup unknown-not-reachable-node

Case 1: nslookup takes too long time

In below example, it takes over 18 seconds thus the error is generated:

$  time nslookup unknown-not-reachable-node
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
.
real    0m18.020s
user    0m0.001s
sys     0m0.005s

As nslookup is OS tool, please engage System/Network Administrator to find out why it takes so long and fix it.
