Panorama VM 8.1.5

L2 Linker

Hi all,

 

just got this case, where the client shutdown the Panorama 8.1.5 for maintenance. But once reboot, and login to the device he will not see the ">". if he performs any commands there are outputs. But the prompt is missing. He reloaded the device and has been is this state for over 24hr now.

Usual CUP load is 5% on their network. But now its over 37%. The memory and disk looks fine.

 

I have come across this issue on my VM lab. Same thing. When tried to login it times out, then I would not see the prompt. But after a while (15min) everything is fine, which tells me there some processors still starting. But it doesn't look like the same case with this client.

I cannot confirm whether he has access via WebGUI. But that's to be confirmed.

 

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

Lance

the prompt ">" will appear once the management server (mgmt-srv) is fully loaded. After reboots and depending how much config etc need to be loaded (and available resources etc; there are several different background processes that need to start before the mgmtsrv is fully 'up) , it can take a while before the management process becomes available

 

you can check if there are extraordinary delays during the boot process by checking the ms.log file

I did come across this solution, to the description I have to add, once you log in there was no prompt ">" + if you run some show commands there were no output(black screen).

with help of TAC and tanks to Pradip, following was discovered and fixed

 

==============Knowledge share===================================

As the configuration of the ESXI is same and it does not seems to be a VM issue.
>> We are not able to access Panorama GUI.
>>We are able to get CLI but whenever we type command it does not return any output or error.
>> We tried restarting Panorama and it did not work.
>> We visited MAINT mode and tried reinstalling the PAN OS and tried reverting to older PAN OS both options did not worked.



configd.log

<-------SNIP------> Error: pan_mongo_output_error(pan_mongo.c:515): [MongoDB Failure] mongo_insert failed: 18446744073709551615(0),
<-------SNIP------> Error: pan_cfg_mongo_clear_unfinished_jobs(src_cms/pan_cfg_mongo_tables.c:15632): Failed to insert record for key

 

+ We ran the commands on root shell to repair the MongoDB.

# mongodump -d pancfg -o /tmp/db_backup

# mongo
> use pancfg
> db.dropDatabase()
> exit

# cd /tmp/db_backup
# mongorestore --drop -d pancfg pancfg (you must run this from /tmp/db_backup)

# mongo
> use pancfg
> db.repairDatabase()

+ We tried to SSH to the device, connect to WebUI and do a commit. All of them were successful

================================

PLEASE REMEMBER, by using the above commands you are responsible for your firewall,Palo Alto/TAC engineer Pradip or I are not responsible for your mess up
