Unable to add additional CONNECTOR

[mfleurisson]

Hello !

I'm trying to add an additional connector-va whith hznAdminTool :

hznAdminTool addvm --type=CONNECTOR --ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --useGatewayAsIDP=y --directoryPassword=xxx

Please verify the configuration for new VM -

      TYPE                           :    CONNECTOR

      IP Address                     :    172.16.106.18

      Hostname (DNS resolved)        :    hzn-connector2.hosting.corp

      Gateway as IDP                 :    YES

      Leave VM under maintenance     :    YES (default)

   Is this configuration correct? (y/n - n will exit command) [y]:

When i type y :

-bash: y: command not found

[1]+  Stopped                 hznAdminTool addvm --type=CONNECTOR --ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --useGatewayAsIDP=y --directoryPassword=xxx

And nothing happen ....

Please Help !!!

What happens if you just type "Enter", instead of y

Do you have any special characters in the directoryPassword? If so, you may need put it in quotes.

Also, can you add the --silent option to the command and run, this will make the command proceed, without asking you to type anything.

Also, just to debug more, can you run another hznAdminTool command?

You can try

hznAdminTool listvms
