37 Troubleshooting the ESX #
This section contains troubleshooting tasks for your SUSE® OpenStack Cloud 9 for ESX.
37.1 Issue: ardana-service.service is not running #
If you perform any maintenance work or reboot the Cloud Lifecycle Manager/deployer node, make sure to restart the Cloud Lifecycle Manager API service for standalone deployer node and shared Cloud Lifecycle Manager/controller node based on your environment.
For standalone deployer node, execute ardana-start.yml
playbook to restart the Cloud Lifecycle Manager API service on the deployer node after a reboot.
For shared deployer/controller node, execute
ardana-start.yml playbook on all the controllers to
restart Cloud Lifecycle Manager API service.
For example:
cd ~/scratch/ansible/next/ardana/ansible ansible-playbook -i hosts/verb_hosts ardana-start.yml --limit HOST_NAME
Replace HOST_NAME with the host name of the Cloud Lifecycle Manager node or the Cloud Lifecycle Manager Node/Shared Controller.
