Troubleshooting
Problem
The following partition error shows when the step 14 of the documentation Configuring a Console in Oracle Cloud is executed:
ERROR: Second disk contains existing partitions.
Attach a second disk with no existing partitions and try again.
Attach a second disk with no existing partitions and try again.
Cause
This error seems to be caused by Oracle building partition labels before the QRadar script creates the appropriate QRadar partitions, resulting in an error.
Environment
All versions of QRadar that are deployed in Oracle Cloud.
Resolving The Problem
Note: This solution is intended for the error Second disk contains existing partitions when the command sudo /root/setup_console is used, but it also can be applied for the same error with the setup_mh script, for example sudo /root/setup_mh 1599.
- SSH to the affected host.
- Run the following five commands:
parted /dev/sdb print rm 1 quit systemctl daemon-reload -
Run again the sudo /root/setup_console command to complete the setup script.
Result
The administrator can run the setup script without any error.
