How to start the kind cluster after 'vctl system stop' command

Hello friends,

- I created a kind cluster using "vctl system start -> vctl kind -> kind create cluster" commands.

- Then I created set of pods and services to prepare my environment.

- I exit from "kind" interface and stop the container subsystem using "vctl system stop" command. At this stage I was given a warning that says there is a cluster running in the background and suggested me to use --force option.

- I forced the vctl to stop everyting

- However, the kind cluster didn't started up next time I started vctl system.

- The kind-control-plane container was stopped.

- I tried to start it using "vctl start kin-control-plane" but I was given the error message "ERROR error checking volume mapping config: mkdir /lib: read-only file system "

I couldn't find any document about how to start and stop a cluster properly in vctl environment?

Would you please share you experience about cluster mangement?

Kind regards

Gökalp

Hi,

After I created my message I found the issue on vctl's github page.

Here is the link.

https://github.com/VMwareFusion/vctl-docs/issues/38

I have Fusion 12.1.2, It seems the fix hasn't been released yet.

I appreciate for any method for a suggested method to keep a cluster environment safe, after spending hours to prepare it, including image download cost?

Kind regards

Gökalp
