Abstract

   Unable to deploy, modify, or capture snapshots of PureApplication
   workloads due to expired security certificate used by PureApplication
   System Manager (PSM).

Content

   When attempting to deploy, modify, capture snapshots of PureApplication
   workloads, the following error is seen on the PureApplication console:
   Metadata of script: <script name associated with pattern instance> cannot
   be loaded.

   The problem is caused because of the following exception, as seen in the
   kernel service logs:
   Caused by: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: The certificate
   expired at Fri Apr 12 17:40:37 UTC 2019; internal cause is:
   java.security.cert.CertificateExpiredException.
   This problem is related to APAR IT28802. This APAR impacts the deployment
   of new workloads, modification of running workloads, and capturing
   snapshots of running workloads. In order to resolve this problem, a new
   security patch with a new security certificate needs to be installed on
   the PSM, and the associated services need to be restarted.
   Until the new security patch is applied, you will have limited management
   usage of your PureApplication but all existing workloads will continue to
   operate without any outage. Additionally, you will continue to have a
   limited management access to the PSM for all other management features and
   functions.
   If you are encountering this problem, please open a service request (PMR)
   with IBM PureApplication L2 Support via
   https://www-946.ibm.com/sr/help/index.html and express your interest in
   APAR IT28802.
   Issues post installation of APAR IT28802:
   After the APAR IT28802 test fix installation, if you notice either of
   these issues, then please open a service request (PMR), specify the text
   as "failure after applying IT28802" in the request and submit with IBM
   PureApplication L2 Support.


    1. If you have a configured system backup, the system backup stops
       working. You can validate this issue by doing these steps:
           a. Click System Console > System > Backup and Restore.
           b. Select your backup configuration.
           c. Click View History.
                You would notice that history is not updated from the last
       scheduled backup.

    2. The error, "Metadata of script: <script name associated with pattern
       instance> cannot be loaded", returns. There is a use case where the
       older version of the certificate is restored, such as PSM failovers,
       firmware upgrades, or repairs to the PSM.
       You can verify by opening any pattern under Patterns > Virtual System
       Patterns.
