Telco Cloud Automation - CaaS Infrastructure - Management K8s cluster deployment Failing at 20%

[rajini_saini]

First Try: I checked ping between TCA and vCenter it is running ok.
I am trying to deploy Management K8s cluster from TCA, but it fails with the below error:

[cluster control plane is still being initialized: WaitingForControlPlane, cluster infrastructure is still being provisioned: WaitingForControlPlane], retrying
cluster state is unchanged 4
[cluster control plane is still being initialized: WaitingForControlPlane, cluster infrastructure is still being provisioned: WaitingForControlPlane], retrying
cluster creation failed, reason:'VCenterUnreachable', message:'Post "https://vCenterIP/sdk": context deadline exceeded'

Failure while deploying management cluster, Here are some steps to investigate the cause:
Debug:
kubectl get po,deploy,cluster,kubeadmcontrolplane,machine,machinedeployment -A --kubeconfig /root/.kube-tkg/tmp/config_5ymkJdrG
kubectl logs deployment.apps/<deployment-name> -n <deployment-namespace> manager --kubeconfig /root/.kube-tkg/tmp/config_5ymkJdrG

To clean up the resources created by the management cluster:
tanzu management-cluster delete
Error: unable to set up management cluster: unable to wait for cluster and get the cluster kubeconfig: error waiting for cluster to be provisioned (this may take a few minutes): cluster creation failed, reason:'VCenterUnreachable', message:'Post "https://vCenterIP/sdk": context deadline exceeded'

Second Try:
Bootstrapper created. Kubeconfig: /root/.kube-tkg/tmp/config_u075DfI0

Error: unable to set up management cluster: unable to initialize providers: timed out waiting for the condition, this can be possible because of the outbound connectivity issue. Please check deployed nodes for outbound connectivity.
Usage:
tanzu management-cluster create [flags]

Please share if you came across the same issue or any solution to this, Thank you.

Hi Rajini,

Can you please check if the assigned cluster VIP is allowed to reach from outside, also check the "port_group" configuration that you used for this deployment. The log looks like it is related to network issue specific to VIP.

@vsaravanan1  Thank you for your response.
I'm using a non-DHCP IP, using the management vDS port group and during the mgmt cluster deployment also provided the HTTP and HTTPS proxy, but it still fails to deploy saying - 

Error: unable to set up management cluster: unable to initialize providers: timed out waiting for the condition, this can be possible because of the outbound connectivity issue. Please check deployed nodes for outbound connectivity.
