Issue/Introduction

Unable to execute /opt/scripts/deploy.sh successfully after powering on the vRA appliance in the new datacenter. The script fails during the podnet-up phase.

Environment

Aria Automation 8.18.x

Cause

The failure is caused by missing or misconfigured network settings specific to the new datacenter environment, preventing successful pod network initialization (podnet-up) within the deployment script.

If the pod network is not working properly, essential services dependent on this network will fail to start. This explains why /opt/scripts/deploy.sh fails during the podnet-up phase, as the script relies on a functioning pod network to proceed with service initialization.

Resolution

Steps to Resolve:

1. Run the following command to restart all pods in the kube-system namespace and refresh networking components:

   kubectl -n kube-system delete pod --all

2. Monitor pods restarting and verify that all required services come back online successfully.

3. Re-run /opt/scripts/deploy.sh if necessary and confirm completion past podnet-up.
