Symptoms

When logging into the UI on a specific node, the following error is seen on the dashboard or end user license agreement notification:
error 6500

 

Cause

There are three ECS services responsible for UI login, stat, "ecsportalsvc," and "obcontrolsvc" - these have stale entries which are not allowing the UI to log in.

 

Resolution

On the concerning node, restart the stat, ecsportalsvc, and obcontrolsvc. There is no impact on restarting these services but it should be noted that any alerts generated on the UI on another node are now linked to these restarts:

 

Using service tools:

admin@node1:~> svc_node services restart -nw 10 -srv stat ecsportalsvc objcontrolsvc -n self
Starting utility inside a screen session

 

Confirm on the concerning node (rack 1 node 1) that the services have restarted and ensure that there are no services that are not running:

admin@node1:~> svc_node services -status
