VIC Hostname Set Fails After Power Loss

[KLEPTOROTH]

Summary

Lost power to the host running VIC - now I cannot get to the container management page.

Details

Had a power outage due to the heat in California, and as a result the VIC web interface is no longer functioning. Seems for some reason it cannot properly set the host name, which makes the vSphere PSC saml token request fail, I get this when trying to open the webpage:

This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at https://192.168.11.48:8282/auth/psc/callback/token might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE

journalctl -xe shows this when it's trying to set the host name:

I was able to restore functionality by running:
hostnamectl set-hostname 192.168.11.48
Then rebooting the VIC VM.
however I don't feel this is necessarily proper.... not only because this also has the effect of changing the root prompt to "root@192" (previously was "root@localhost", then it changed to "root@errorEOF" due to this issue) but shouldn't this be set from the OVF environment and not something within the VM?

I also encountered the same problem.

I also have the same issue, do you finally find a way to properly fix it ? Thx

[KLEPTOROTH]

I have not found a proper fix for this yet, but it's been running in this manner for a while now and I haven't had any issues thus far. Would be nice to see this bug fixed however.

Ok, my VIC host was completely unaccessible for a reason I still ignored. errorEOF was also present in VIC log file ...
I finally apply the same fix you did on the VIC host :

hostnamectl set-hostname "vic server ip"
reboot

now everything works fine !

Thank you very much :)

I'm glad to see my work figuring this one out helped someone!
