  • 1.  PAW not starting after upgrade (Linux)

    Posted Sun February 27, 2022 07:54 AM

    Hi,

     

    I had an issue when I upgraded PAW from version 63 to version 73; some services are not starting via the administration tool. Below services status is not changing from 'restarting'.

     

    • Content Delivery
    • Gateway
    • Share Proxy
    • workspace proxy

     

    I have tried uninstalling (scripts/paw.sh down --rmi all -v) and reinstalling PAW after removing all networks (docker network rm <network-id>)  before reinstalling.  

    Can anyone direct me to what should be my next steps to resolve this?

     

    Server version

    Distributor ID: Ubuntu

    Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

    Release:        16.04

    Codename:       xenial

     

     

     

    Any guidance is appreciated.

     

    Regards,

    Nuwan Fernando

    Hi Nuwan,

    can you provide more information like the log of the restarting containers?
    Has it worked as expected before on Ubuntu? Ubuntu isn't officially supported for PAW...

    Regards

    Hi Dominik,

    Yes, this has worked well with all past versions.

    Unfortunately, I don't have the 'restarting' containers logs since I had to re-instate the prod-server from a snapshot.

    Let me know if you need anything else?

    Regards
    Nuwan

    Nuwan,

    Check disk space. use "df -h" in an ssh session and see if anything has a use% over 90%.

    Have you run /scripts/clean.sh for prior releases after you upgrade and validate a newer release? Old images can accumulate and waste disk. See: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/planning-analytics/2.0.0?topic=local-upgrade-planning-analytics-workspace  about clean.sh

    By default, Docker will build everything under /var/lib/docker/ that is typically on a system volume rather than a on a separately mounted and larger data volume. If you never ran clean.sh then there can be a bunch of old images hanging around eating up disk space. I vaguely recall seeing where PAW only partially started because it was out of disk space, and several services kept restarting. If the /etc/docker/daemon.json has not been created or does not contain a data-root setting pointing to an empty-ish data volume then you have some cleaning to do since all the images will be accumulating in /var/lib/docker/.
