JBoss ON storage node fails to start after applying 3.3 Update-04 after using cassandra-jvm.properties.new

Solution Verified - Updated

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Operations Network (ON) 3.3.4
  • Linux/Unix install

Issue

  • rhn-storage failures after upgrading to 3.3.4
  • cassandra-jvm.properties.new includes weird "^M" characters

Resolution

This issue has been resolved in JBoss ON 3.3 Update-05.

For update-04, remove the offending line termination characters from the cassandra-jvm.properties.new file or the lines copied from it. A command such as the below should remedy the issue.

tr -d '\r' < cassandra-jvm.properties.new > cassandra-jvm.properties.new.unix

Or:

dos2unix cassandra-jvm.properties.new

Root Cause

The cassandra-jvm.properties.new file distributed in the 3.3 Update-04 includes the carriage return character at the end of each line, resulting in Linux/Unix installations to fail to start if the entire line from the .new properties file is used.
