I'm like the hull of the sun. What am I?

I'm like the hull of the sun.



But I'm not a star.



I start with a kernel



And end like a keeper



But without opposing directions




What am I?



Hint




I'm not a thing, I'm a person




Edit



Changed the last line from But only like so. It is a more consistent part of the riddle now

I think this answer might actually be




Coroner




I'm like the hull of the sun.




Sounds like corona, as found by jafe




But I'm not a star.




Not usually famous.




I start with a kernel




Core (also discovered by jafe)




And end like a keeper




Owner




But without opposing directions




Core + Owner = Coreowner = Coroner, when we remove E and W (East and West)




Obviously, jafe's answer filled in many of the lines so do upvote that answer too.

    Are you




    the footballer Corona?




    I'm like the hull of the sun.




    The outer part of the Sun and other stars is called the corona.




    But I'm not a star.




    Not really a household name.




    I start with a kernel




    cor(e)




    And end like a keeper




    Not sure about this. There are certainly goalkeepers whose name rhymes with Corona, such as Marafona... Hard to believe this is what's intended here, though.




    But without opposing directions




    No idea what this means yet...

            .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0; } 0 I was attemping to use Ola Hallengrens scripts to backup to a remote NAS, but it was failing and not giving any direct errors, so I tried doing it manually using Server Management Studio and got the following error: TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Failed to retrieve data for this request.

            Always On Availability groups resolving state after failover - Remote harden of transaction...

            0 My explanation will be opinion based as it is based on my findings. If more information is needed, I am always happy to add it. The setup We have 4 SQL Server 2016 Instances, and all 4 underlying servers are in a WSFC (In my eyes a strange setup since Always On AG's are 2 by 2. But that is a different question.) 4 nodes + Fileshare witness Version: 13.0.5026.0 (all nodes) The instances that are having the failover issues are instances 1 & 2. They have 3 AG's between them. AG1 is primary on instance 1 and is having the issue. AG2 and AG3 are primary on instance 2. Instances 3 and 4 have their own separate AG's (2).

An example: ERROR: insert or update on table "channelproducts" violates foreign key constraint "fk_rails_dfaae373a5" DETAIL: Key (channel_id)=(1) is not present in table "channels". Interestingly enough, I've noted that all these instances are popping up because of the sequence of loading. channels is after channelproducts both alphabetically and in the file and thus I can understand why postgres complains about having to create a child without a parent. caveat: the foreign key is being generated automatically by rails 4.2: I could remove the problem at the source but that still does not really solve the problem... version: PostgreSQL
