IT05048: DEPLOYMENT OF A PROMOTED VIRTUAL SYSTEM PATTERN THAT INCLUDES DB2 IS STUCK AT THE LAUNCHING STATE

IBM PureApplication System Version 2.0.0.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A user promoted a virtual system pattern that was built on the
  previous virtual system pattern architecture to the new advanced
  architecture for virtual system patterns that was introduced in
  PureApplication System Version 2.0. The original pattern
  contains a DB2 component.
  
  The new pattern gets stuck during deployment in the "Launching"
  state.
  
  Logging into the DB2 virtual machine the 0config.log contains
  errors such as:
  
  failure in 6_opmdb2_start_monitoring.py
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• A promoted virtual system pattern does not maintain the same
  code paths that were being used in the prior architecture
  version of the virtual system pattern. The database
  monitoring was attempting to perform an action and failing to
  start, leaving the virtual machine in Launching state.
  

Problem conclusion

• A code fix has been provided in the database monitoring to check
  for a code path and to skip it and continue deploying if
  necessary.
  

Temporary fix
