Expedition worked Yesterday, Today I can't Import

Eric_Troldahl — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 18:01:34 GMT

Yesterday I was able to import Palo Expedition and Juniper Junos config files.

Today, when I went to show my engineer one of the methods I planned to use, I can no longer import files. It just goes to “Initializing” and stops.

We tried rebooting the Expedition server with no success.

I have tried from multiple browsers and even from a VM using a different OS.

Any suggestions?

And then it didn't.

I'm rebuilding from a clean Ubuntu install, then doing a snapshot this time.

Hi @Eric_Troldahl

Did a new VM work on your side?

As I shared by email, if there's any issue while executing a migration it should pop-up on the log /tmp/error

Let me know if we can help in anything else,

Best,

David

I have 2 VMs. I had configured a new VM when we thought we were going to try Expedition v2. old is 2 CPUs, 8Gb RAM, 40Gb disk. new is 8 CPUs, 16Gb RAM, 500Gb disk.

I wiped both and did a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, then fresh install of Expedition v1 from the installer script.

VM with smaller/fewer resources won't let me log in to the GUI, newer/larger VM rebuilt fine.

I am having my Virtualization Services team upgrade the original VM to 8/16/500 and will see if I can install then.

For now I at least have 1 VM that I can use, and I did a snapshot of the fresh install so I can revert if needed.

Regards,

Eric

Expedition Team:

Having cloned the Expedition VM, changed the IP and hostname of the Ubuntu host, the server boots but I cannot reach the GUI using the FQDN. Apache is loading, but showing a blank page. If I navigate to the GUI via IP address it loads fine. Can you point me to the configuration file that I need to modify to enable using the new FQDN?

Thanks,

Eric

Hi @Eric_Troldahl This mostly related to the DNS server in your environment , if you are using local host file , you can update the /etc/hosts file with the new IP for the FQDN of expedition, if the DNS server is controlled by IT admin, you will need to ask them to update the DNS record to reflect the new IP

I have two DNS records. When I use the IP or FQDN of the "-v1" / ".85" server, it works. When I use the IP of the .80 server, it works, when I user the FQDN without "-v1", it loads a white page instead of the Expedition login page. The .80 VM is a clone of the .85 VM with the IP and hostname changed:

xxxxxxx@xxxxxxx ~ % nslookup expedition-palo.xxx.xxx.xxx

Server: x.x.x.x

Address: x.x.x.x#53

Name: expedition-palo.xxx.xxx.xxx

Address: x.x.x.80

xxxxxxx@xxxxxxx ~ % nslookup expedition-v1-palo.xxx.xxx.xxx

Server: x.x.x.x

Address: x.x.x.x#53

Name: expedition-v1-palo.xxx.xxx.xxx

Address: x.x.x.85
