Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
  • After rebooting the vRealize Operations Tenant App for vCloud Director appliance, the UI is inaccessible
  • In an SSH session to the appliance and running the command docker ps, the plugin container is the only one running. Under normal conditions, UI and Cassandra containers will be running as well.


Cause

This issue is caused by docker images that were removed as part of cleanup during subsequent boot.
