We had a similar problem on a DN10k that we stopped the
rgyd on. I fixed it by deleting the directory /sys/registry/rgy_data .
It seems that if this directory exists the node assumes it should
at least have a slave registry and tries to contact a local rgyd.
This fails, of course. Deleting this directory should clear things up.
Make sure you keep the rest of the stuff in /sys/registry though.
Ciao,
