Description

Possibly an upstream issue, but mongod does not start during katello-installer on CentOS7.

I'm installing Katello 2.1

Output:

[root@foreman ~]# katello-installer

I'm following the install notes at: http://www.katello.org/docs/2.1/installation/index.html rather than the katello-deploy method in order to test the installation method. I have fixed the yum repositories to make sure I am getting the right software:

I'm aware of Issue #8478 and have tried both the workarounds listed in http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/8478#note-4

Neither of these appear to work for me however.

My test machine is rebuilt clean from PXE boot for every test, so I don't think I've got any old edits hanging around.

Just reinstalled the test box again and I currently have:

[root@foreman ~]# rpm -qa | grep mongo
mongodb-server-2.6.5-2.el7.x86_64

Going to run katello-installer now (no flags given - using defaults all round). Will post mongo versions after the install as well.

Getting the same version of mongodb after installation now too:

Hey Duncan,

Can you upload a foreman-debug to the rsync server (instructions given at the end of the command)? and then paste here the filename.

Try foreman-debug-HDOMh.tar.xz

I opted for y at the end of the command to rsync it for me. I then tried to do it manually afterwards, but keep getting errors.

If that fails, I renamed it to foreman-debug-Duncan.tar.xz and managed to upload that one successfully.

Debugging with a user on IRC with a similar issue, it ended up that /var/run/mongodb didn't exist. Can you see if this is your case too?

Left 'Katello' laptop at work, so can't check until Monday. But will test that as soon as I can Monday. Will try to get on IRC too if possible.

Eric,

The mongodb test is passed now, but there are other failures in my default install. I don't remember the Katello packages being at version 2.2 last week (could be wrong). Should I close this and open new bugs to track the issue I find?

Actions #12

Updated by Duncan Innes about 9 years ago

Right, getting confused about what changes have been going on in the last week.

I checked Bug #9163 which shows install issues similar to what I now find myself facing. But downgrading puppet as suggest in that issue now gets me back to facing the issue I reported here.

I'm looking at /var/run/mogodb at the moment though - so that exists in my current install, although I can't figure if it got there because of the install that failed due to the high version number of puppet.

Actions #13

Updated by Duncan Innes about 9 years ago

OK - after getting a bit misdirected by the arrival of 2.2 into the nightlies, I've amended my OS install to fetch the Katello 2.1 repo RPM:

http://fedorapeople.org/groups/katello/releases/yum/2.1/katello/RHEL/7Server/x86_64/katello-repos-latest.rpm

The install guide needs to be updated to reflect this.

Running another install now to see what the result is.

Is this an issue with mongod rather than Katello?

Looks like it's me being a bit dense and the Hardware Requirements perhaps needing a bit of clarification.

Reason: We split the disk into various partitions:

[root@foreman ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_root-lv_root 20G 2.2G 18G 11% /
devtmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 3.9G 8.4M 3.9G 1% /run
tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/vg_root-lv_tmp 1014M 33M 982M 4% /tmp
/dev/mapper/vg_root-lv_home 1014M 33M 982M 4% /home
/dev/mapper/vg_root-lv_var 2.0G 245M 1.8G 13% /var
/dev/mapper/vg_root-lv_pulp 32G 33M 32G 1% /var/lib/pulp
/dev/vda2 509M 104M 405M 21% /boot
[root@foreman ~]#

Which seems to cover the 30Gb for /var/lib/pulp and the 20Gb for root that is called for. We run into problems here though because the /var provides too little space for /var/lib/mongodb (which I've now rectified)

I now run into http startup problems, but I'll log those elsewhere.

Do you want me to close this an open a new one asking for clarification in the Hardware Requirements section of the Install notes? Or deal with that in this ticket?
