Known issues

  • Definition file updates don't work with Python 2.6

    When an auto-update is performed on platforms with Python 2.6, an error occurs during the update process which causes the current definition files to be removed automatically, preventing you from managing and provisioning clusters, and preventing other OpsCenter operations from completing.

    Workaround:

    1. Add the following to opscenterd.conf to disable auto-update:
      [definitions]
      auto_update = False
    2. Manually download the latest definition files.
      1. In a terminal, go to the definitions directory. On package installations, this is /etc/opscenter/definitions. On tarball installations, this is <opscenter-install-location>/conf/definitions.
      2. Download and install the latest definition files.
        $ curl https://opscenter.datastax.com/definitions/4.1.0/definition_files.tgz | tar xz
    3. Restart opscenterd as described in Starting, restarting, and stopping OpsCenter.
