Issue/Introduction

When attempting to upgrade to TPCF 10.0, 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 10.0

Cause

As per the breaking changes' documentation, cflinuxfs3 is an unsupported stack in TPCF 10.0

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:
