HanaExpress 2.0 sps 01 (VM): Timed out while waiting for apps

Apr 26, 2017 at 11:11 PM | 1.2k Views

Hello

I try two times to install the VM with VMWARE workstation 12, and I obtain always the same message :

Timed out while waiting for apps: cockpit-adminui-svc, cockpit-admin-web-app

Please start required Cockpit apps and rerun register_cockpit.sh.

My VM settings are the default settings.

Could you help ?

Emmanuel

    Hi Emmanuel,

    I'm experiencing the exact same symptoms, with VirtualBox instead of VMWare.

    I was able to make some progress this way:

    • Boot SuSE in single user mode (Press "e" at the splash screen, then add "init=/bin/bash" at the end of the line that starts with "linux" (Should be third line from the bottom)
    • Mount the disk read/write: sudo mount -o rw,remount /
    • create a new user: sudo useradd -m eric ; sudo passwd eric
    • Reboot, and log in as eric
    • check the number processes owned by hxeadm: ps -ef | grep hxeadm | wc -l
    • Wait until the number of processes stabilize (For me it was 44 processes, which will take a very long time. I let my VM run overnight)
    • Once he number of processes stabilize, log in as hxeadm.

    That got me further along in the configuration process, however the VM has become very unstable in the matter of a couple of hours, and I had to perform a hard reboot. I'm still troubleshooting this.

    Let me know if you get that far and run in the same problem as I do. I'm getting a bit anxious to get that thing working.

    BTW my host machine has an i5 processor with 4 cores and 32Gb of RAM. I'm starting to wonder if the machine isn't grossly under powered.

    Cheers,

    Eric

    Hello

    Finally, the installation is done.

    I have set the memory of my VM from 12Gb to 32Gb and the installation process finished.

    I was able to go through all the installation tutorials.

    So I think it is important to change the default setting of the VM.

    My host is an i7-6700K 4 cores with 64Gb of ram.

    Regards

    Emmanuel

    Hi Emmanuel,

    How is your installation performing with the boost in memory? Mine is excruciatingly slow and unstable. The "Server only" VM works reasonably well for me, but the "server + app" not so much. What has been your experience so far?

      Sorry for the late answer.

      Once I have changed the settings of the VM, I have experienced the same problems.

      So I have deleted the vm and recreate it the 4 cores 32go from the beginning. And it is better.

      Regards

      Emmanuel

    Hi all,

    my experience: I upgraded my host to 32 GB RAM (from 16 GB) and gave the VM 24GB (before 12 GB). Now it runs a lot better!!

    Best regard, Klaus

    All, I have a brand new Dell precision 5510 (i7 4 cores, 32GB RAM) and set the VM to have 24 GB (24000 MB) RAM and CPU 4. If I set the RAM to 24576 MB (24GB x 1024 MB) Virtual Box shows "invalid setting".

    Despite the setting above with 24GB RAM for the VM I am still experiencing the same issue "Timed out while waiting for apps: cockpit-adminui-svc, cockpit-admin-web-app".

    This is my second attempt to import the "hxexsa.ova"(server+apps) file into Virtual Box.

    I hope someone can shed some lights to this.

    Thanks.

    Sunny

    Hello to every one.

    My laptop is Dell Latidute 3570 with 16GB memory and 1T HD at 7200 but I had the same problem. But when I replace my HD with a Corsair SSD 500GB I managed to install all of the XSA applications.

    So the SSD was the solution to me.

    Hello to every one.

    My laptop is Latidute 3570 I3, 16GB memory and 1T HD 720RPM.

    I had the same problem with hxexsa installation until I changed the HD with a Corsair SSD 500GB. With this I managed to install all the XSA applications.

    So the solution for me was the SSD disk.
