Configure-vcd script failed to complete

[waseemarif]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to set up a new vCD 10.3.1 and I am able to access the management and I am sure that my NFS is correctly configured. But When it tries to finish it fails during clean up.

I have attached the screenshot and logs from root@vcd [ /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/logs ]# more cell-management-tool.log and I could see the below error:

Caused by: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
at java.base/sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilder.build(SunCertPathBuilder.java:141)
at java.base/sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilder.engineBuild(SunCertPathBuilder.java:126)
at java.base/java.security.cert.CertPathBuilder.build(CertPathBuilder.java:297)
at java.base/sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator.doBuild(PKIXValidator.java:434) 

Could you please look into this and help  I have attached both screenshot and logs

Regards,

Waseem

Inspect your logs to determine why the vcd setup did not complete (opt/vmware/var/log/firstboot.log and /opt/vmware/var/log/vcd/setupvcd.log). If you see the following error in your setupvcd.log, this issue occurred because the password for the private key, keystore, and root user account was not all the same.

I see these logs in (opt/vmware/var/log/firstboot.log

Any Idea what am I missing

[naser_mx]

it seems i have same issue.
after i removed my first cell , i tried to re install it again , but :
1) setup stuck on "Invoking setupvcd script." ( attached photo )

2) "setupvcd.log" not exist .

3) "configure-vcd.log" show :

After several hours, nothing happened. i use vCD 10.3.1
(I had no problem deploying cells on the first day(clean install). But after a while, I will not be able to deploy any new cell.)

any idea ?

Did you ever get to the bottom of this error? as I have the exact same scenario

Thanks

Hi all,

we all have in the /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/logs/cell-management-tool.log the following error:

ERROR | main | ReconfigureDatabaseCommand | Invalid database configuration: SSL error: PKIX path buildi
ng failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target |
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: SSL error: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid cer
tification path to requested target

Please confirm that you have "Timed out" in your appliance-sync.log when adding the certificate node

cat /opt/vmware/var/log/vcd/appliance-sync.log | grep Timed

Timed out adding certificate for node node-35184bba-f181-469d-be92-ebb45ff6727d, continuing to other nodes.

i found a way to complete the setup successfully with cluster HEALTHY and services running.

the trick was the import from my NFS share (windows) into vcd appliance may take longer than 10seconds, i gave it 60.

sed -i s/10s/60s/ /opt/vmware/appliance/bin/appliance-sync.sh

resulted line should be:
cat /opt/vmware/appliance/bin/appliance-sync.sh | grep force
/usr/bin/timeout 60s $VCLOUD_HOME/bin/cell-management-tool import-trusted-certificates --source $APPLIANCE_SHARE/$i/vcd_ova.crt --force

then try again completing the setup, while watching the log i confirmed that the operation took more than 10s , here nearly 30s in my environment.

tail -f /opt/vmware/var/log/vcd/configure-vcd.log

"
Reconfiguring vCD to use a secure database connection.
2022-09-25 18:36:29 | setupvcd.sh | Reconfiguring vCD to use a secure database connection.

Database configuration was successfully refreshed in running Cell.
2022-09-25 18:36:57 | configure-vcd.sh | Invoking cellstartup script.
"

the setup complete successfully,

then revert back the original setting

sed -i s/60s/10s/ /opt/vmware/appliance/bin/appliance-sync.sh

systemctl restart appliance-sync.timer

Shutdown/Power on the VM, do not use Restart

Increase vCPUs from 2 to 4. (Updated)

wait few minutes for the vcd appliance to fully load before opening http://{VCD_IP}/provider

Let me know if this hasn't worked for you.

cheers
