Problem



PureDisk 6.2 may fail to install if the IP address of SPA (Storage Pool Authority) is 15 characters long, ie xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The issue is caused by IP verification failing.

Error



No session for agent with ID 10000000. Retrying...
Wed Nov 14 2007 17:19:53.780041 WARN (4150404784): SSL operating in untrusted

severity: 6

description:
No session found for agent 100.100.100.100

Solution




The issue can be identified by using the pdmanage command
/opt/pdctrl/bin/pdmanage --sessions
The resulting output will include the following. Note thatthere is no space between the IP address and pdagent.
50000000 100.100.100.100pdagent 281 249
Using a shorter IP address, there is not a problem as the pdmanage has a space between the IP address and pdagent.
90000000 100.100.100.10 pdagent 1751 352
The script is checking if the IP is valid, because of the three digit IP *.*.*.100 there is no longer a space " " to the next string pdagent and tries to compare the full string 100.100.100.100pdagent." IP verification does not see this as an valid IP address.
Making the following changes to the Storagepool.php script will allow the installation to complete:
Open /opt/pdspa/mgmtclass/Storagepool.php
search for the word 'sessions'
replace
                        $cmd = "/opt/pdctrl/bin/pdmanage --sessions";
by
                        $cmd = "/opt/pdctrl/bin/pdmanage --sessions | sed -e 's/pdagent/ pdagent/;'  ";
To complete the install, do the following:
1. Run install.sh --force
2. Edit_topology.sh
3. Modify the  lines detailed above in the script /opt/pdspa/mgmtclass/Storagepool.php
4. Run install_newStoragePool.sh
