A4H docker image no longer starts up

287 Views

I am using the (now unavailable) HANA 1909 docker image on a Debian / testing desktop with 32GB RAM, I already had the image in my system since before the log4j incident. Docker is version 20.10.13~3-0~debian-bullseye and kernel is 5.16.0-4

Using the A4H container I could run it, do my tests, shut it down, no issues... once I even created a second container for a destructive test, threw it away and kept using the main one. Until today, when I tried to start it again and got this message in the logs:

12.03.2022 14:11:50
StartWait
FAIL: process hdbdaemon HDB Daemon not running
HDB: the start command failed, exit code=2
The service HDB has failed to start and initialization is blocked until the problem is resolved
You can try your luck 10 times until initialization is terminated
Hint: docker containers can be joined by: docker exec -it <name> bash
Hint: Container must have at least 16GB RAM available
Hint: Container must have at least 70GB DISK free
Hit Return to continue

At the moment I have roughly 23GB free RAM and 250+ GB disk space, so it must be something else; it is not a license issue either because a) it would start anyway but not let you login and b) I have installed a new one just in case.

How do I find out what exactly is preventing startup?
