vRA Enterprise install - Primary Appliance Node error

The full enterprise installation has completed and all services are running. All functionality appears to work but the primary node displays the following on the console page. Would like this message to clear before performing any additional config.

The boot.msg log shows the following at the end of the log

Xenon sync service successfully started.

<notice -- Oct 15 15:29:09.96558000> 'xenon-sync-service start' exits with statu                                                                                                                     s 0

Workaround 1: Redeploy the VA

Workaround 2:

Review /var/log/boot.msg file. The deployment is actually healthy, if the below error is observed:

Failed services in runlevel 3: elasticsearch

  1. Restart the VA.
  2. Verify that all services come up in the VAMI page.
  3. Cleanup the error message displayed in the console by editing /opt/vmware/etc/isv/welcometext file
    and replacing its content as below:
    ${app.name} - ${app.version}

it is, but the KB kinda has the steps that I have listed above ^^

why do you have to redeploy vRA so often?

in vRA 7.6 this should not happen (or at least, very rarely)

I have this same error in my 7.6 development cluster. Are the only two fixes still re-deploy or reboot until it works?

Where were those the only two fixes? See Workaround #2 (which should really be the default choice) in gradinka's message here.

I hope not, but those were the only two options provided here. Unless i'm misunderstanding, option two says restart the VA, wait for the services to start, then manually remove the error lines from the startup message file...

Because it's an erroneous message if the services are all actually started and the appliance functions correctly. Obviously, if those aren't true statements, then your appliance is foobared and you need to delete and start again.

Gotcha, I missed the first line of the original question. Caught the picture and read down from there.
