Description of problem: storage properties don't contain production default values in rhq-server.properties rhq.storage.cql-port and rhq.storage.gossip-port don't contain production default values (9142 and 7100), which is being set to correct values during the storage installation. While installing server and connecting to remote storage (no local storage installation) leads to server not being able to connect to the remote storage. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): jon 3.2 er5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install and start storage on IP1 2. connect server to remote storage by adding rhq.storage.nodes=IP1 in rhq-server.properties 3. install server on IP2 Actual results: 10:32:13,041 ERROR [org.rhq.enterprise.server.installer.InstallerServiceImpl] Could not complete storage cluster schema installation: All host(s) tried for query failed (tried: /10.16.23.192 ([/10.16.23.192] Cannot connect)): com.datastax.driver.core.exceptions.NoHostAvailableException: All host(s) tried for query failed (tried: /10.16.23.192 ([/10.16.23.192] Cannot connect)) Expected results: server is able to connect to remote storage Additional info: Comment From John Sanda: jsanda> the fact that it took this long to realize it was the wrong port might suggest we should provide some additional error messages to help identify problems like this <jsanda> in a scenario like this where we fail to connect to storage cluster, it might be good to log message like, <jsanda> "Make sure storage cluster is running, and that the rhq-storage.nodes and rhq.storage.cql-port properties are configured properly
[16:39:22] <mfoley> it will be in the ER6 payload. jsanda will have it done by noon. then spinder will turn the magic handle and begin brewing ER6
The out of box values for rhq.storage.cql-port and rhq.storage.gossip-port are now set to their production defaults, 9142 and 7100 respectively. And if the server installer cannot connect to the storage cluster, an error message like this is logged, 11:18:07,487 ERROR [org.rhq.enterprise.server.installer.InstallerServiceImpl] Failed to connect to the storage cluster. Please check the following: 1) At least one storage node is running 2) The rhq.storage.nodes property specifies the correct hostname/address of at least one storage node 3) The rhq.storage.cql-port property has the correct value release/jon3.2.x branch commit: 76b8858e
Moving to ON_QA as available for testing with new brew build.
issue is not fixed in er6 - please get logs and rhq-server.properties screenshot attached
