Powering off the vIDM node from LCM Fails with error 'LCMVIDM74071'

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

• While powering off the standalone vIDM node from the LCM, We noticed the below error.

Environment

• Vmware Identity Manager 3.3.7

Cause

• The LCM attempts to create the file "LCM_DISABLE_AUTO_RECOVERY" in the '/usr/local/etc/' directory, It marks the 'shutdown request' as failed  because the 'etc' directory was missing.

Resolution

• Navigate to the '/usr/lib' directory:
  • cd /usr/lib
• Run the list command to confirm that the 'etc' directory is not present.

• Create the 'etc' directory by running the following command:
  • mkdir etc

• Retry the failed shutdown request.
• The file "LCM_DISABLE_AUTO_RECOVERY" should now be created under the /usr/local/etc directory.

• The vIDM node should shutdown shortly after.
