Distributed Cache in SharePoint 2013 -"Unexpected exception in FeedCacheService.IsRepopulationNeeded: Cache cluster is down, restart the cache cluster and Retry."

 

We had issue with Distributed Cache in SharePoint 2013

In ULS and event we were getting lots of errors related to Distributed cache.

 

Event ID:      6398
Task Category: Timer
Level:         Critical
Keywords:     
User:          xxxxxxxxxxx
Computer:      xxxxxxxxx
Description:
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.LMTRepopulationJob (ID ba320718-0e80-4295-a3f8-a4badea59f0d) threw an exception. More information is included below.

Unexpected exception in FeedCacheService.IsRepopulationNeeded: Cache cluster is down, restart the cache cluster and Retry.

 

We ran following commands to fix the cache issue

Remove-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance

 

$SPFarm = Get-SPFarm
$cacheClusterName = "SPDistributedCacheCluster_" + $SPFarm.Id.ToString()
$cacheClusterManager = [Microsoft.SharePoint.DistributedCaching.Utilities.SPDistributedCacheClusterInfoManager]::Local
$cacheClusterInfo = $cacheClusterManager.GetSPDistributedCacheClusterInfo($cacheClusterName);
$instanceName ="SPDistributedCacheService Name=AppFabricCachingService"
$serviceInstance = Get-SPServiceInstance | ? {($_.Service.Tostring()) -eq $instanceName -and ($_.Server.Name) -eq $env:computername}
if([System.String]::IsNullOrEmpty($cacheClusterInfo.CacheHostsInfoCollection))
{
$serviceInstance.Delete()
}

After this we ran following command

$SPFarm = Get-SPFarm
$cacheClusterName = "SPDistributedCacheCluster_" + $SPFarm.Id.ToString()
$cacheClusterManager = [Microsoft.SharePoint.DistributedCaching.Utilities.SPDistributedCacheClusterInfoManager]::Local
$cacheClusterInfo = $cacheClusterManager.GetSPDistributedCacheClusterInfo($cacheClusterName);
$instanceName ="SPDistributedCacheService Name=AppFabricCachingService"
$serviceInstance = Get-SPServiceInstance | ? {($_.Service.Tostring()) -eq $instanceName -and ($_.Server.Name) -eq $env:computername}
if([System.String]::IsNullOrEmpty($cacheClusterInfo.CacheHostsInfoCollection))
{

Add-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance
$cacheClusterInfo.CacheHostsInfoCollection
}

We ran Get-CacheHost and it shows the service is up

Made sure service is showing as started on the server
