My JSS is behaving oddly for the first time in about 3 years. I'm seen
an error message when starting Casper Remote, and also when I
interrupt an autorun imaging task so that I can manually tweak the
imaging settings. A small window pops up saying: "The server that
Casper Remote received data from does not appear to be a valid JSS.
Please verify the address and try again."
There's nothing wrong with the server address, and I've done health
checks on the JSS without any problems being reported. However, I have
noticed that the response times from the JSS (e.g. when "gathering
information" when Casper Remote first starts up) are suddenly much
longer than they used to be, i.e. it's taking on the order of 30-40
seconds for Casper Remote or Casper Imaging to start up. And when I
use the web interface to the JSS I'm also seeing very long wait times.
Nothing has changed in the infrastructure apart from upgrading to 7.1.
Other things seem to be working ok, however. Syncing of packages to a
replication point works fine, the JSS Setup Utility is behaving
normally, and as I say, all table checks are successful. But
something's not right somewhere.
Before I plunge into the log files, has anyone else seen anything of
this kind? It would be useful to know if others have seen similar odd
behaviour or if it's specific to me. The JSS, btw, is running on a
10.4.11 server, which is fully patched and up to date.
TIA
