  • 1.  Multiple Failed Cloud Pak for Data Installations

    Posted 10/02/19 12:17 AM
    We have multiple failed installations of the Cloud Pak for data.
    we are using version  icp4d_ee_2.1.0.2_x86_64

    3 Nodes Cluster
    16 CPUs
    64 GB RAM
    /ibm 500 GB formatted as specified in the guide (SSD Drives)
    /data 500 GB formatted as specified in the guide (SSD Drives)

    Last try the installer decided not to install the Gluster package in one of the nodes but it continued with the next steps which obviously failed because the server was missing GlusterFS

    Is there a way to uninstall everything so we can start from scratch?

     

    We have completed all the pre-requisites outlined in the following document:

    Fabio,

    Sounds like it's a bare-metal environment, correct?
    And you want to go with the standalone version of Cloud Pak for Data and install ICP and CP4D in one go?
    Or do you have ICP or Openshift already preinstalled before running the CP4D install?
    Here are instructions on uninstall in both cases https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSQNUZ_2.1.0/com.ibm.icpdata.doc/zen/install/uninstall-overview.html

    HI Adam,
     
    I tried that multiple times and it did not work. The installation kept failing on step 4, it never got completely installed. (installation never finished) But I know for a fact that some packages were installed in some nodes e.g. docker, GlusterFS, etc
     
    We are installing it on 3 VMs running Linux RHEL 7.6 Standalone -- Cloud Pak for Data and install ICP and CP4D in one go.
