  • 1.  Cloud Pak for Security installation issue

    Posted Tue September 29, 2020 11:02 AM
    Hello.
    I am trying to install Cloud Pak for Security 1.3.0.1 on my OpenShift (three Master nodes and two Worker Nodes) according to the following article: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSTDPP_1.3.0/cp4s_v1r3/docs/security-pak/csinstall_online.html
    I have done all five steps from Installing Common services part of that article but ICP GUI doesn't open. 
    One worker node was set as Proxy+Master and another worker was set as Management
    The output of oc get pods --namespace kube-system shows all pods in Running and Completed state.
    Here is what I have:
    [root@centos ~]# oc get route -n kube-system | grep console
    icp-console icp-console.apps.os1.oc.local management-ingress <all> passthrough/Redirect None
    I tried to access that cp-console icp-console.apps.os1.oc.local via https:// and https://:8443, besided that I tried to access proxy in web via https:// and https://:8443 but got the same issue.

    I see the followng errors for cp-console icp-console.apps.os1.oc.local What can lead to such errors and how to solve this issue?

    Hi Mehul.
    Well, that's the matter of available resources. Currently we have resources for deploying two workers and three masters. Besides that, the error message I get doesn't seem to be related to lack of the third worker. It would be perfect to have a webex session where we could discuss it and look at the issue. I haven't found any information about the need to deploy each component (master, proxy, management) only on one worker. Is there any mutually used resources (and ports) by proxy, management, master that might affect each other and cause issue when more than one component (e.g. master and proxy or management and master) works on a worker that might cause the error message I sent you earlier? 
    I also wanted to mention that during installation we see such messaged for some components:

    TASK [waitfor : Waiting for MongoDB to start] ***********************************************************************************************************************************************
    FAILED - RETRYING: Waiting for MongoDB to start (100 retries left).
     

    TASK [waitfor : Waiting for auth-pdp to start] **********************************************************************************************************************************************
    FAILED - RETRYING: Waiting for auth-pdp to start (100 retries left).

    What could lead to such messages?

    Best regards,
    Igor.

    Hi Igor,

    Lets have a webex to take a look at deployment and figure out the root cause. I will send out webex.
