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

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

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

Environment

VMware Identity Manager (vIDM) 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

• Log in to the Identity Manager using root credentials.
• Navigate to the '/usr/local' directory

  cd /usr/local

• 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.
