Bootstrap Installation Errors

Bootstrap installation fails for no obvious reason

If the Metalk8s installation fails and the console output does not provide enough information to identify the cause of the failure, re-run the installation with the verbose flag (--verbose).

root@bootstrap $ /srv/scality/metalk8s-2.8.0/bootstrap.sh --verbose

Errors after restarting the bootstrap node

If you reboot the bootstrap node and some containers (especially the salt-master container) do not start, perform the following checks:

1. Ensure that the MetalK8s ISO is mounted properly.

   [root@bootstrap vagrant]# mount | grep /srv/scality/metalk8s-2.8.0
   /home/centos/metalk8s.iso on /srv/scality/metalk8s-2.8.0 type iso9660 (ro,relatime)

2. If the ISO is unmounted, run the following command to check the the status of the ISO file and remount it automatically.

   [root@bootstrap vagrant]# salt-call state.sls metalk8s.archives.mounted saltenv=metalk8s-2.8.0

Bootstrap fails and console log is unscrollable

If the bootstrap process fails during MetalK8s installation and the console output is unscrollable, consult the bootstrap logs in /var/log/metalk8s/bootstrap.log.
