Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Operations Network (JON) 3.2.0 GA
  • File rhq-server.properties contains commented out jboss bind address like in the following example:
...
    jboss.bind.address=10.33.63.237
 
    # By default only local management connections 
    #jboss.bind.address.management=127.0.0.1
    jboss.bind.address.management=10.33.63.237
...

        You have successfully extracted patch contents into (JON server) and/or (JON agent) installation folder(s).
        You should do the following as is necessary:
         i)Closely follow the remainder of the instructions delivered with this update.
         ii)restart your server(s)*
         iii)restart agents and request agent updates
        *NOTE: for HA environments you may need to repeat the steps here for each server before patch application is complete.

Resolution

This is a bug and it has been captured in the This content is not included.RH Bugzilla 1152965.

As a workaround, start JBoss ON Server and run the following jboss-cli command directly:

<RHQ_SERVER_HOME>/jbossas/bin/jboss-cli.sh --controller=<REAL_BIND_ADDRESS>:<REAL_JBOSS_MANAGEMENT_NATIVE_PORT> --connect --command='/subsystem=datasources/xa-data-source=RHQDS/:write-attribute(name="no-tx-separate-pool", value=true)'

where:

* <REAL_BIND_ADDRESS> should be replaced with *jboss.bind.address.management* from rhq-server.properties file
* <REAL_JBOSS_MANAGEMENT_NATIVE_PORT> should be replaced with *jboss.management.native.port* from rhq-server.properties file

Root Cause

The update was applied successfully for the most part.

What did not get applied is:

/subsystem=datasources/xa-data-source=RHQDS/:write-attribute(name="no-tx-separate-pool", value=true)

Above failed because apply-updates.sh script is incorrectly parsing the jboss bind address from rhq-server.properties file. Currently, JBOSS_BIND_ADDRESS is defined as:

JBOSS_BIND_ADDRESS=`grep "jboss.bind.address.management" "$INSTALL_PATCH_HOME"/bin/rhq-server.properties | cut -d'=' -f 2`

Above would match the following:

...
jboss.bind.address.management=<JBOSS_BIND_ADDRESS> 
# jboss.bind.address.management needs to be set
# Please set jboss.bind.address.management to something
#jboss.bind.address.management=127.0.0.1
...

and the result would be multiple lines and values being assigned to JBOSS_BIND_ADDRESS.

Diagnostic Steps

Confirm that rhq-server.properties file contains both uncommented and commented out jboss.bind.address.management property.
