SRM 8.6 Deployment - Database error

lnsads · ‎02-21-2023

I have deployed a new 8.6 SRM OVA to a site. This is all a brand new setup for SRM.

The iso used to get the OVA files was VMware-srm-va-8.6.0.7149-21102724.iso
Version 8.6.0, Build 21102686

I am able to log in to the OVA after deployment. The summary page fails to load with an error of:

ERROR
Failed to connect to database: VdbError: No pool found with id 0.

The summary page is blank. The KB's return nothing on this error.

Does anyone have an idea how I can get this resolved?

This is resolved, these deployment OVF's are in an embarrassing state out of the box. Ignoring networking configurations altogether, booting with no networking detected. Deploy an OVF on two hosts using the same files and they act differently, one applies networking, and one doesn't. I should not be scouring KB's for hours to deploy a product like this. For the cost of this software, VMWare should be ashamed of the state of this.
