ENS-4051

Services, system deployment, update

Service fails to start during system deployment and update

Rarely, a system deployment, service management operation, or system update may fail because a service fails to start. When this happens, the Administration App is inaccessible from the instance where the failure occurred.

The logs in the watchdog-service log directory contain this error:

Error response from daemon: Conflict. The name "<service-name>" is already in use by container <Docker-container-id>. You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name.

Workaround

Restart the Docker service on the instance where the service failed to start. For example, if you are using systemd to run Docker, run:

systemctl restart docker

After restarting Docker, retry the system deployment, service management operation, or system update.

ENS-6160, ENS-6276

Service deployment

Services fail to deploy with thread or process creation errors

Services may fail to deploy when:

Your instances have large numbers of CPUs, and

Your instances have systemd installed

In this situation, services may fail to deploy with errors about thread or process creation failures, such as:

{:timestamp=>"2017-09-14T17:13:43.824000+0000", :message=>"The error reported is: \n unable to create new native thread"}

And:

Failed to launch container: Failed to run 'docker -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock pull com.hds.ensemble/cassandra:25.0.0.1523': exited with status 2; stderr='runtime/cgo: pthread_create failed: Resource temporarily unavailable

Workaround

On each instance:

Edit the DefaultTasksMax setting in the /etc/systemd/system.conf file to have a value of 4096:

DefaultTasksMax=4096

On the OPTIONS line in /etc/sysconfig/docker, edit the --default-ulimit setting to have a value of nofile=65536:1048576:

OPTIONS="--default-ulimit nofile=65536:1048576"
