Docker ps -a command

docker logs cr_mongo-auth_1 shows that MongoDB 5.0+ requires a CPU with AVX support:
docker logs cr_mongo-auth_1 command
 

 

Cause

The product is working as designed.
The MongoDB being used in Cyber Recovery 19.13 and later requires a CPU with AVX support. 

Resolution

Run the following command to check whether the CPU supports AVX.
If it does, avx is listed in the flags section. In this sample output, it is not listed. 

cat /proc/cpuinfo

output from cpuinfo

Cyber Recovery 19.12 can be deployed in such a situation.
However, it is recommended to deploy version 19.13 or the latest release in environments where the CPU supports AVX.
