Issue/Introduction

  • Edge node is showing MPA Connectivity Down. The Edge is Virtual machine.
  • On Edge console you can see message  "Unable to launch CLI, appropriate log location could not be found to generate CLI log"

 

  • Additionally, you noticed that the /var/log partition is missing when you checked disc space using command df -h and logged to the terminal as root.



 

Environment

VMware NSX

Cause

It may be because of following reasons:

  • File System Corruption: When the file system is corrupted, Manager appliance OS might choose to mount it as read-only to prevent further damage.
  • Improper System Shutdown: Abrupt power loss or an unclean system shutdown can lead to a read-only file system.
  • Hardware Issues: Faulty hard drives or damaged sectors can cause the file system to switch to read-only mode.
  • Incorrect File System Configuration: Mistakes in the /etc/fstab file or other configuration files can result in a read-only file system.
