storage grid waiting for service to start

[adminqskills]

Hi everybody,

we are delivering storage grid trainings with virtual boxes.

The first training doesn’t have any problems.

The machines are reverted to a VMWare snapshot after the training and were powered off for about a month

Now we do have the problem that we can´t login to the admin node.

It seems that they are up but  hanging on “Waiting for services to start”

Do you have an idea how the get this rid?

Everything seem to be fine, but not able to login

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hi everybody,

I assume problem is that cassandra service doesnt come up since the nodes were powered off longer than 15 days. Is there an fix to bring them back?

[adminqskills · Accepted solution]

I got cassandra working.  

procedure:

login in to the node

su -

 connect to the docker container docker exec -ti containerid bash

Edit /etc/sv/cassandra/run

Comment out the line below:

check_server_down_time

service cassandra start

Were all nodes power down at the same time, as in that case you don't need to rebuild cassandra on all nodes per se.
