Unable to validate storage account on Azure CloudBoost appliance

I've got a CloudBoost appliance running 2.2.3 in Azure.

I'm unable to assign a cloud profile, as the validation of the profile fails (and trying to reploy gives a generic jclouds error).

Looking at in the /var/log/jclouds.log I see the following error:

2018-04-11T18:31:09.902+0000 [main] WARN  blobstore.cli.BlobstoreCli - Failed in command: blobstore.cli.commands.ContainerCreate@19ae6bb, request: HEAD https://xxxxx.blob.core.windows.net/mag-test-1523471468-jokwif?restype=container HTTP/1.1 failed with response: HTTP/1.1 403 Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  The key itself works fine, and I've tried re-generating new ones as well.

One suggestion was the time could be out, but the clock is synced via NTP:

admin@mag-fs> ntp timedrift

Enabled NTP servers are : 0.europe.pool.ntp.org, 1.europe.pool.ntp.org

Indeed - solved!  Was using a Premium Storage account, that only supported Blob.  Switching to standard to support blob and tables solved the issue.

Avoided a proxy due to previous issues on AWS with backup traffic to the blob itself hitting the proxy, and just to keep it simply to validate the installation.

Adam,

Does your network connection require an SSL certificate?

Is there a proxy involved?

Is this a new deployment? Can you verify that the blob storage “type” assigned in azure console allows DB and Blob tables. Should also run bsv validation test to ensure connectivity. I will forward you some related KB articles shortly to ensure we cover all the basic setup steps. Thanks, Vince

Hi, I have included the BSV command below for you to run in your environment. Run this from the Cloudboost CLI while logged in under the 'Admin' user. This will verify if the CBA can communicate properly with the Azure cloudstore.

*Please Note:
DO NOT reply to this thread with the output after running the command. Should you see that the validation output result in any errors, i would suggest that you raise an SR (Service Request) and someone in support will get in touch with you and investigate further.  Thanks, Vince.


Blobstore Validation:

diagnostics blobstore-cli "--provider azureblob --identity --credential " validate
