[Freeipa-users] odd problem updating to Centos 8.3
I just upgraded copies of our 3 servers from Centos 8.2 to 8.3. I always try it on copies
before doing it on the real thing.
The upgrades all went fine, but on one of the servers, the services weren’t running, and
ipactl status complained
Failed to get list of services to probe status!
Configured hostname z does not match any master server in LDAP:
x
y
z
Adding prints to the python code, I found the issue was that the services, e.g.
dn: cn=KPASSWD,cn=z,cn=masters,cn=ipa,cn=etc,dc=cs,dc=rutgers,dc=edu
had
ipaConfigString: configuredService
when they should have had
ipaConfigString: enabledService
It was easy to fix. Things now look OK.
Since I’ve fixed it, I don’t need any help, but I thought it was worth reporting. There
were some oddities in getting the copies working. Initially I had bad IP addresses various
places. That broke synchronization, and I had to reinitialize server z by copying from x.
But that was before the upgrade. Before doing any upgrades I made sure everything worked,
and the replicas were all syncing.
The fix did sync to the other servers.
The error message wasn’t entirely helpful.
