Config Drift task progress stuck at 0%

Products

• VMware Cloud Foundation

Issue/Introduction

After starting the configuration update task, the task shows in progress but the progress percentage is stuck at 0% - You may notice that the drifts are already applied to the products but the task still shows in progress.

Environment

VCF 5.2.x

Cause

The config drift internal task_url data is created with public IPs instead of localhost IP address.

Eg: http://10.x.x.x:/domainmanager/config-drift-reconciliations/ef2a198b-0455-4288-a5f6-b6110afeb0b6

Resolution

1. SSH into the SDDC Manager appliance with vcf user and then elevate to root with su.

2. Download the task_url_fix.sh script attached to the KB.

3. Copy the script to the /home/vcf/ directory on the SDDC manager. 

4. Set the required permissions on the script

chmod +X task_url_fix.sh

5. Run the script.

./task_url_fix.sh
