Products

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

• After adding a new node to the vRealize Operations 8.4 cluster, the "Cluster initialization is in progress" message in the Admin UI doesn't clear after the action's completion.

Environment

Cause

This issue is caused by a slight defect in CaSA's public rest API layer.

Resolution

Workaround:
To workaround this issue, restart the CaSA service on the Primary and Replica (if applicable) nodes.

1. Log into the Primary node as root via SSH or Console, pressing ALT+F1 in a Console to log in.
2. Run the following command to restart the CaSA service:

systemctl restart vmware-casa

3. Repeat steps 1-2 on the Replica node (if applicable).
