Network node is in Attention state

Edit online

Network node is in Attention state because the network node is not at the latest level.

Explanation

When PowerVC was upgraded, a network node was not upgraded because it was not available.

Resolution

To solve this problem, manually update the network node by following these steps:
  1. Copy the package powervc-version/packages/networknode/ from PowerVC to the network node you want to update by running this command: scp -r powervc-networknode-ubuntu-version.tgz (network node username@Network node IP):/home/ibm.
  2. Log in to the network node and extract tar zxvf powervc-networknode-ubuntu-version.tgz.
  3. Navigate to the folder and run ./install command.
  4. Wait for the status to be OK in the user interface.
  5. If you have one of these problems, restart the services on the network node:
    • The network node's health status does not change to OK.
    • Network node's health status moves to OK, but you have problems attaching a floating IP address to a virtual machine's VXLAN network interface. For example, if you cannot ping a floating IP address or cannot attach a floating IP address.
    To restart PowerVC services, run /opt/ibm/powervc/bin/powervc-services restart on the network node.
