Known Issues
This page lists the known issues and potential next steps when deploying OpenShift (OCP) in Power Systems Virtual Server (PowerVS)
Terraform apply returns the following error
-
Error:
timeout - last error: Error connecting to bastion: dial tcp 161.156.139.82:22: connect: operation timed out
-
Cause: The public network attached to bastion is not reachable.
Ping to the public/external IP of bastion node (eg. 161.156.139.82) will not return any response
- Workaround: Re-run TF again and if it doesn't help, destroy the TF resources and re-run.
If it doesn't work, then please open a support case with IBM Cloud to fix issue with reachability of public IP for PowerVS instance.
RHCOS instances in dashboard shows \"Warning\" Status
-
Cause: This is due to RSCT daemon not being available for RHCOS
-
Workaround: None
You can ignore this. This will be fixed soon.
Terraform apply fails with instance is not reachable error
-
Cause: Sometimes the instances don't boot and and accessing the instance console from IBM Cloud dashboard shows grub rescue
-
Workaround: Rebooting the instance helps. If still facing the same issue, try destroying the TF resources and re-running the deployment
Terraform apply fails with instance is not reachable error
-
Cause: Sometimes the instances don't boot and and accessing the instance console from IBM Cloud dashboard shows connect: network is unreachable
-
Cause: Unknown
-
Workaround: Rebooting the instance helps.
Terraform provisioning fails with the following error
- Error:
Failed to get the instance Get https://eu-de.power-iaas.cloud.ibm.com/pcloud/v1/cloud-instances/d239797b-7b2e- 4790-a29d-439567556c83/pvm-instances/7d836f7d-8f21-4bef-9e10-ae6d8c2167a1: context deadline exceeded on modules/4_nodes/nodes.tf line 92, in resource "ibm_pi_instance" "master": 92: resource "ibm_pi_instance" "master" {
Reapply will also fail
**module.nodes.ibm_pi_instance.master[0]: Creating... Error: Failed to provision {"description":"bad request: invalid name server name already exists for cloud- instance","error":"bad request"} on modules/4_nodes/nodes.tf line 92, in resource "ibm_pi_instance" "master": 92: resource "ibm_pi_instance" "master" {
-
Cause: IBM Cloud API failed but resource got created and TF doesn't know that the resource got created.
-
Workaround: Manually delete the resource from the dashboard and re-apply
Terraform apply fails with these errors
- Error:

terraform applycommand.
