Communication error on calm deployment | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

Hi,

 

I was successful on setting up prism central on the community edition all working good.

Further i extended the cluster capability by enabling Calm. I am able to access the calm UI and see all the functions available. As a next step i tried to deploy hycu blueprint from market place also tried to deploy one VM from my on disk image. Both get failed with below error. Please help.

 

HTTPConnectionPool(host='172.16.xx.xx', port=4120): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/1/entities/get_by_name?name=Application-hycu--74b677a5-5cd9-4c49-9cb4-196e2d5e3be4 (Caused by ProtocolError('Connection aborted.', BadStatusLine("''",)))

Hey Arvind, 

Looks like containers are not up on the PC.

  1. SSH into PC
  2. Run command - docker ps
  3.  epsilon container must be up and healthy
  4. If epsilon is not running, check the logs /home/nutanix/data/logs/epsilon.out

Charan teja


Hi Charan,

 

Thanks for the reply!!!

I see the epsilon service up and running.

aa6214b712a2        epsilon:latest       "/bin/sh -c /home/..."   42 minutes ago      Up 39 minutes (healthy)                       epsilon

This time i am getting some different error.

Creating VM with name: EgAgentVM

ERROR: VM Creation failed at the AHV due to the following reasons: 
ERROR MESSAGE: 48c5230a-25cd-46ea-8b6b-7ea19e31c56f does not exist.
REASON: INVALID_REQUEST
ERROR DETAILS: <nil>

ERROR: No ergon task created for VM Create operation


Hey,

 

Ok the request reached epsilon. I guess epsilon was down for some time. The new error is because you did not select image when running the Eg VM.  There is a market place guide on portal.nutanix.com that explains.

Hi Charan,

 

Even after selecting the image(win2016) end up with same error.

Hey Arvind,

 

Can you attach screen shots ? I would recommend raising a SFDC case so that a SRE can check and fix the issue

 

 


Still the same issue. Should i check any configurations or log files for details?

 

 


Hey,

 

From the PC tasks, it will show why VM creation failed. Also /home/nutanix/data/logs/aplos.out and /home/nutanix/data/logs/aplos_engine.out will show the Error logs why provisioning failed.


Got these error logs.

Hi Aravind,

Can you perform the following from the PC VM:

# nc -vvv 172.16.140.67 9440
# nc -vvv 172.16.140.65 9440
# nuclei remote_connection.list_all

On the PE cluster, run the below command and share it with us:

# ncli cluster info


Hi 

Note: I am running the community edition on VMware VM.

I confirmed the PE and PC IP's in my env as below:

172.16.140.69 -- Prism Element(CVM)
172.16.140.71 -- Cluster Virtual IP address
172.16.140.70 -- Prism Central

I ran the commands as you suggested. The screenshots are below:

 

On PC:-

 

On PE:-

 

172.16.140.67(PE, CVM) and  172.16.140.65(ClusterIP) are another clusters IP’s which was previously registered with this PC. I had to reinstall this cluster for some reason. Hence currently this Cluster is not registered with PC.

 

​​​​​​​-Aravind


I checked the API access from PC to PE as well by listing the cluster details.

 


Hi Stalin/Charan,
