RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
When Provisioning.Enabled=n and Provisioning.UseCloudInit=n, the VM status cannot become running. It will keep "starting" for a long time and then failed.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
WALinuxAgent-2.2.12-1
RHEL Version:
RHEL-7.4/6.9
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a VM in Azure. Set "Provisioning.Enabled=n" and "Provisioning.UseCloudInit=n" in /etc/waagent.conf
2. Deprovision this VM. Shutdown and capture as a generalized image. Then create a new VM base on it.
3. Wait for over 10 minutes. Check VM status from https://portal.azure.com
Actual results:
The VM status is always "Starting". And after a long time (about 1 hour) it becomes "Failed".
Expected results:
The VM status is "Running".
Additional info:
Root cause is when "Provisioning.Enabled=n" and "Provisioning.UseCloudInit=n", the wala skip the provisioning phase but not send "ready" report to Azure.(pa/provision/default.py Line#57-59)
