Stuck on fetching realtime node information (Solved)

#1

Hi,

I am trying to deploy my 3rd node. Its a Cisco C240 M3 with 2x E5-2680 v2 (total 40 threads), 192GB ram, 2.4TB SSD and 8.6TB HDD space. I have the raid card set as JBOD. One SSD card is installed using a PCIe adapter, while the other one is just connected to the backplane. I have wiped all the drives using GRML.
I boot the server in Uefi USB and all starts fine, but after loading everything, the program gets stuck fetching realtime node information (and sits there for hours).
During the installation, I saw a few errors. See attached picture.
What could cause the server to hang there and not load the node information? What can I do to resolve?
Thank you in advance for your help/support!

Greetings,

Jefke

It’sit possible the node has a ssd in it that has been used by 3Node before?

#3

As far as I can remember, these are both not used before. One was purchased new, while the other 2nd hand. Both were wiped using the cli in GRML.

#4

It seems using GRML to wipe the drives didn’t do a great job. I decided to restart the server and load Ubuntu live. I formatted the drives without partition. And made sure all drives were done this way. Then a reboot into 3node and it worked this time.
So problem solved!

#5

I’ve never had GRML with wipefs fail, after 200+ wipes. You may have messed up the command.

#6

I’ve had this problem in two scenarios both were drive related, its an easy misatake

#7

I had the same issue before; it works fine after rewiping all the disks and rebooting the node. Also, please deny sdb because it’s your running filesystem.
