VDI 3.0 installation problems - VDI database not starting

807578Mar 25 2009 — edited May 22 2009
Hi

I am trying to install VDI 3.0 (released yesterday) on a Sun Fire X2200 server, running Solaris 10u6. The package installation runs just fine, but I can't get VDI configured properly. When running the vdi-config program, I choose to set up a evaluation VDI host, and then everything runs fine until it reaches the "Starting Sun VDI database (MySQL)" point. It hangs there for a couple of minutes, before simply stating "Failed". The configuration program also prints out the following in the end of the run:
Common Agent Container Configuration
   + Restarting Common Agent Container service...
Error when trying to start SMF service: [svc:/application/management/common-agent-container-1:default].
Please check the SMF log file for more information: [/var/svc/log/application-management-common-agent-container-1:default.log].
This seems to be because the common-agent-container-1 service depends on vdadb:sql running, which it fails to.

If I try to start vdadb:sql manually after the configuration (using svcadm clear vdadb:sql), the following is put into the services log, and the service is still in maintenance mode:
[ Mar 25 15:16:19 Executing start method ("/opt/SUNWvda/lib/vda-db-service start") ]
Configuration:                                                                      
   MGMT_NODE=[1]; NDBD_NODE=[1]; SQL_NODE=[1]; MULTI_HOST_MODE=[0];                 
   NDBD_CONNECTSTRING=[localhost]; NDBD_INITIAL_ARG=[--initial]; NDBD_NODE_ID=[2];

   - Starting Data Node...                                                          
     Arguments: [localhost --initial]...                                            
     Error                                                                          
[ Mar 25 15:21:26 Method "start" exited with status 95 ]
I can't seem to get any further debug messages, and I can't find out how to go any further with this, as "Failed" and "Error" seems to be the only error messages I get.
As far as I can see, the error message is coming from the "waitForNdbdNodeStartup" function on line 296 of /opt/SUNWvda/lib/vda-db-service, but I can't really get any nearer than that.

Does anybody know how to get further in this regard?
