Error starting cse.service from CSE 4.0 beta build 20547633

[jonathanw]

Attempting to deploy CSE 4.0 beta with Data Solutions beta, the download of cse in the Data Solutions beta is updated from the build available in the CSE 4.0 beta topic.

When deploying the build from the Data Solutions downloads (build 20547633), the deployment works fine (it now asks for an API key for the CSE service account rather than the password, but that's fine). However, the cse service fails to start on the appliance:

panic: failed to read VCDKEConfig RDE with the provider credentials: [error retrieving the VCD-KE config from the RDE: [<nil>]]

Any ideas on the best way to troubleshoot this? I'm guessing that the API updates made to get the earlier 4.0 beta CSE working need updating for this later build?

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the feedback, as checked from CSE team, you saw this error because the VCDKEConfig does not exist yet in VCD environment. Would you please try the instructions inside Provider Workflow doc https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Cloud-Director-Container/Provider-Workflow/ta-p/2918785?att...

Please create VCDKE Config Entity Type and VCDKE Config Entity Instance.

Please let me know if the problem is still there.

Br, Darcy

Hi Darcy,

The API configs from that document (including VCDKE Config Entity and VCDKE Config Entity Instance) have already been applied to this environment to run the (earlier) CSE 4 beta. This appears to be something new/broken with the updated CSE 4 beta available in the Data Solutions downloads.

Regards, Jon.
