Known Issues for Roving Edge

Details

The Proxy URL setting in the Roving Edge installer isn't working. If you set a proxy URL during self-provisioning, the Roving Edge installer must be reset to recover.

Depending on your situation, perform one of the following workarounds:

Avoid the issue: Prior to self-provisioning a Roving Edge device, follow these guidelines:

• Ensure that the device isn't behind an HTTP proxy server and has internet connectivity.

• When you self-provision the device, don't specify a proxy URL. See Configure Device Networking.

Workaround: If you started to self-provision a Roving Edge device and received an error similar to the following error:

OCI connectivity is OK!
..............................................................................................
Failed: Connect to OCI Failed. (MaxRetryError("OCIConnectionPool(host='<uniqueiID>.oraclecloud.com', port=<port-no>): 
Max retries exceeded with url: /<version>/roverNodes/ocid1.rovernode.oc1.<uniqueID> (Caused by NewConnectionError('<oci.base_client.OCIConnection object at <uniqueiID>>: 
Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable'))"), 'Request Endpoint: GET https://rover.<region>.oci.oraclecloud.com/<version>/roverNodes/ocid1.rovernode.oc1.<uniqueiID> 
See https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/sdk_troubleshooting.htm for help troubleshooting this error, or contact support and provide this full error message.')
Registration failed. Retry 6) Register Device to OCI, or contact Oracle Support.

Reset the device to factory defaults and repeat the self-provisioning process:

1. In the self-provisioning menu, enter CTRL-C until you're back to the main menu:

   Roving Edge Basic Configuration Interface - Roving Edge Classic (ver. 1.6.37)
   Number selects a menu item, Enter accepts the selection, Ctrl+Z refreshes the menu, Ctrl+C returns to main menu, Backspace deletes a character.
   
   1) Configure Networking
   2) Set Up OCI Connectivity
   3) Set Up Credentials
   4) Install Platform Image
   5) Advanced Operations

2. Enter 5 to select the Advanced Operations menu.

3. Enter 3 to select the Factory reset Configuration Interface.

4. Enter factoryreset, then enter the reset passphrase: Oracle_Rover_Reset_1!

   The device resets to factory defaults then reboots.

5. After the device reboots, ensure that the device isn't behind a HTTP proxy server and has internet connectivity.

6. Self provision the device, and don't specify a proxy URL. See Self-Provision the Device.

On Roving Edge devices running version 2.16.2, when a block volume is shared with more than one instance, the shared block volume might get stuck in an ATTACHING state, then change to a DETACHED state.

Details

Any shared block volume attached to an instance that was created before version 2.16.2 remains attached and isn't affected by this issue.

Any shared block volume attached to an instance that's created on version 2.16.2, will be stuck in an ATTACHING state and eventually reach a DETACHED state.

Workaround

We're working on a resolution.

An Oracle Linux 9 instance might take longer than 4 minutes to boot.

Workaround

1. In the instance, run the following command to check if the bootloader entry contains a netroot setting that's set to an iscsi target:

   grep "netroot=iscsi" /boot/loader/entries/*$(uname -r).conf

2. If the command returns any result, remove the netroot option from the bootloader entries using this command:

   sed -i 's/netroot=iscsi:[^ ]\+ / /' /boot/loader/entries/*.conf
