Cloudify:: uninstallation-application fails

Question

To uninstall an application I called uninstall-application app-name from the cloudify prompt in a local cloud environment. However the uninstall is unsuccessful. The log file shows following exception.

Eventually the operation times out. Post that I can not even teardown the local cloud. The only way to come out of this is the reboot the system. Appreciate some help on this one.

Answer 1

The following error:

Caused by: org.jini.rio.core.OperationalStringException: GSM not found at org.jini.rio.monitor.ProvisionMonitorImpl.undeploy

indicates that one of the Cloudify management components was missing. It may have crashed earlier, or perhaps the local machine was running at 100% CPU, causing local components to not respond to each other.

In an actual cloud deployment, this would cause the Cloudify agent to restart the failed component, but in the local-cloud environment the agent and the other management components run in the same process to conserve memory and speed up start-up time.
