fresh install of APIC-EM 1.0 - grapevine_root is not ready

tomlammon · ‎11-11-2015

I just attempted to install APIC-EM 1.0 on a virtual machine with 64 GB RAM, 6 cpu cores, and 500GB disk as outlined in the requirements. The install went great until the very end when it barfed with this message:

The configuration wizard has encountered the following error:

Unable to start 'grapevine_root'. Please refer to the logs for mroe details...

after exiting the wizard, I see 20 lines of the following:

[retry=x] 'grapevine_root' is not ready. Sleeping...

has anyone else run in to this?

Looks like need more info for debugging

Can you please login again. From terminal run "rca" command. It runs a root cause analysis script to creates a tar file.

The tar file will be in /tmp directory. Please share this tar file.

Thanks,

Yawming

Please let me know when you have downloaded it.

Thank you!

Thanks for sharing the log, downloaded.

I thought I would give it another try, so I ran the config wizard again and this time it worked...I didn't change anything, so I don't know why it didn't work the first time.

Thanks for your help.
