Hi I have an issue with one of the host servers. This issue is rather strange. Perhaps someone can help me with understanding how this happened and how to fix it.
About 3 days ago one of the KVM host servers ran out of disk space on its root partition. I have fixed the issue and reconnected the agent by running 'service cloudstack-agent restart'. I've noticed that the host server is still showing Disconnected status in the web gui. The agent log files repeat the following 3 lines every 10 or so seconds: 2018-10-22 12:50:54,339 INFO [cloud.agent.AgentShell] (main:null) (logid:) Agent started 2018-10-22 12:50:54,343 INFO [cloud.agent.AgentShell] (main:null) (logid:) Implementation Version is 4.11.1.0 2018-10-22 12:50:54,345 INFO [cloud.agent.AgentShell] (main:null) (logid:) agent.properties found at /etc/cloudstack/agent/agent.properties looking further revealed that the file is 0 bytes: -rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 20 06:39 agent.properties -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8890 Jul 6 14:01 agent.properties.dpkg-dist Something has replaced the original agent.properties file. The creation/modification dates of the agent.properties file on other KVM host servers are all different (times and dates). As I always upgrade the host servers at the same time, this led me to believe that agent.properties file is automatically generated or modified by some script or service that is running on the host server or perhaps the modification is pushed from the management server to the agent. As the server is in the Disconnected state I can't migrate servers and virtual routers from that host server and I can't set it to Maintenance either. How do I manually force the creation / update of the agent.properties file on that host server? The challenge is that vms /vrs which are running on that host server are production servers and they should keep running without shutting down. Thanks for any tips/help. Andrei
