TCA Timed Out while reconfiguring Node Pool with Error code CNF130101 during CNF redeployment

Products

• VMware Telco Cloud Automation

Issue/Introduction

The following symptoms are observed during the deployment of CNF workloads in TCA

• Error Code: CNF130101 Timed out while reconfiguring node pool: <NODE_POOL_NAME>

• Node Status: Several nodes remain in Ready, SchedulingDisabled state

• Kubectl Output: kubectl describe node indicates NodeNotSchedulable

Environment

VMware Telco Cloud Automation (TCA) 3.3.0 

Cause

The timeout occurs because the customization points applied to the node pool (specifically regarding Data and EDP configurations) contain invalid parameters or configuration errors in the runbook followed by user during the CNF redeployment.

Resolution

• Identify the specific node pool experiencing the timeout from the TCA UI or logs. 

• Ensure that CRD customizations and EDP (Enhanced Data Path) settings do not conflict and are supported by the underlying ESXi host configuration.

• Correct the invalid configuration parameters in the runbook logic.

• Retry the deployment after updating the customization points to align with the environment
