Isilon: Duplicate column
If you have the EMC Isilon or Isilon ZenPack installed, you could see an error similar to the following after updating to 6.0.0:
WARN o.m.jdbc.message.server.ErrorPacket [quartzScheduler_Worker-3] Error: 1060-42S21: Duplicate column name 'Sid'
2023-06-27T03:33:53,030 ERROR o.h.engine.jdbc.spi.SqlExceptionHelper [quartzScheduler_Worker-3] (conn=10622) Duplicate column name 'Sid'
2023-06-27T03:33:53,030 ERROR c.z.reporting.schedule.LoadModelJob [quartzScheduler_Worker-3] Failed to rebuild dimension tables batches="506"

at org.hibernate.exception.internal.SQLExceptionTypeDelegate.convert(SQLExceptionTypeDelegate.java:63) ~[hibernate-core-5.6.15.Final.jar:5.6.15.Final]
To remove the duplicate column:
-
Log in to the Analytics server as root or as a user with superuser privileges.
-
Create a temporary file for cleanup statements:
cat <<EOF > /tmp/isilon.sql DELETE a.* FROM odb_value a JOIN odb_attribute b ON a.odb_attribute_key = b.odb_attribute_key AND b.odb_attribute_name = 'Sid'; DELETE FROM odb_attribute WHERE odb_attribute_name = 'Sid'; EOF -
Run the cleanup statements.
cat /tmp/isilon.sql | mysql -u root reporting
