PowerStore: PowerStore Manager ICW or login fails with error: Service unavailable. Please retry in a few minutes. (0xE04040010004)

Summary: Initial Configuration Wizard (ICW) or PowerStore Manager login fails with error: Service unavailable. Please retry in a few minutes. (0xE04040010004)

This article applies to This article does not apply to This article is not tied to any specific product. Not all product versions are identified in this article.

Symptoms

If going through the Initial Configuration Wizard (ICW) using the service port, you may see a message saying Loading.... on the Cluster Details step which continues for a time. Eventually the User interface (UI) may display:
The required appliance was not found or Request timed out.
This stops the ICW and initialization of the system.


The PowerStore Manager user interface (UI) is not accessible (users cannot log in) after a Nondisruptive Upgrade (NDU) or node reboot.
Attempting to log in fails with error: "Service unavailable. Please retry in a few minutes. (0xE04040010004)"

Cause

Both the UI and the ICW rely on the management discovery service.

The discovery service relies on Avahi autoipd, which binds a 169.254.x.x/16 IP to local the disc0 interface as local link.

Avahi autoipd may fail to bind the IP to disc0, causing the discovery service to fail.

To check if there is a missing IPv4 169.254.x.x/16 IP bonded on disc0, run this from both nodes:
[SVC:service@XXXXXXX-A/B user]$ ip a show | grep disc0 -A 5

Resolution

Upgrade to PowerStore version 2.x or greater which has a fix for the issue discussed in this article.
