Issue/Introduction

When attempting to upgrade to TPCF 10.x, the cloud controller pre-start fails like below:

                       L Error: Action Failed get_task: Task #### result: 1 of 5 pre-start scripts failed. Failed Jobs: cloud_controller_ng. Successful Jobs: loggregator_agent, bpm, syslog_forwarder, bosh-dns.

Looking into the logs on the cloud controller, the following error is shown:

./pre-start.stderr.log:[2025-05-02 ##:##:##+0000] rake task 'stack_check' failed, stack 'cflinuxfs3' not supported

 

Environment

TPCF 10.x

Cause

As per the breaking changes documentation, cflinuxfs3 is an unsupported stack in TPCF 10.x

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-tanzu/platform/tanzu-platform-for-cloud-foundry/10-0/tpcf/breaking-changes.html

The error in the cloud controller is checking and sees that cflinuxfs3 is still available as a stack on the platform. 

Resolution

To resolve this, the cflinuxfs3 stack will need to be removed from the platform. The steps for doing so are covered here:
