HPE Morpheus Software UI not loading after upgrade or reconfigure¶

Problem:

The HPE Morpheus Software ui does not load after performing an upgrade.

Common Causes:

1. The morpheus-ui has not finished loading

2. The morpheus-ui was not fully stopped before reconfigure, or not started after reconfigure

3. HPE Morpheus Software was forced to restart or shut down while the database schema was being migrated during an upgrade

Solutions:

1. The morpheus-ui has not finished loading.

   An easy way to see when the ui is finished loading and running is to tail the ui current file and look for the morpheus logo with version and start time

   morpheus-ctl tail morpheus-ui
   

Note

After running morpheus-ctl start morpheus-ui, the HPE Morpheus Software ui takes around 3 minutes to run depending on hardware.

1. The morpheus-ui was not fully stopped before reconfigure, or not started after reconfigure

   The morpheus ui must be stopped prior to running morpheus-ctl reconfigure when upgrading. Sometimes running morpheus-ctl stop morpheus-ui will timeout and the ui is not actually stopped. If stopping the ui does timeout, run morpheus-ctl kill morpheus-ui prior to reconfigure, and be sure to run morpheus-ctl start morpheus-ui after reconfigure is completed.

   If you ran a reconfigure before stopping the ui, run:

   sudo morpheus-ctl kill morpheus-ui
   sudo morpheus-ctl reconfigure
   sudo morpheus-ctl start morpheus-ui
   

   Wait for the ui to come up.

2. HPE Morpheus Software was forced to restart or shut down while the database schema was being migrated during an upgrade

   If the ui fails to start and you see the error Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is liquibase.exception.LockException: Could not acquire change log lock.  Currently locked by morpheus it likely means morpheus was forced to restart or shut down while the database schema was being migrated during an upgrade, and the lock was not released.

   To release the lock, you will need to run a mysql query. You will need to install mysql-client on the morpheus appliance, and grab the password for morpheus mysql. The username and db name are both morpheus. The password to login to mysql can be found in the application.yml file located at /opt/morpheus/conf/application.yml

   Then run the following:

   mysql -u morpheus -p -h 127.0.0.1 morpheus
   

   At the prompt, enter the mysql password from the application.yml

   Then run:

   DELETE FROM DATABASECHANGELOGLOCK;
   

   Then restart morpheus-ui:

   sudo morpheus-ctl restart morpheus-ui
   

   If the restart timesout, run:

   sudo morpheus-ctl kill morpheus-ui
   sudo morpheus-ctl start morpheus-ui
