Any known issues / gotchas with multiple nic interfaces?
This sounds like its related to the Enhancement that was made for
https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MCOL-547 (enforce limitation of postCfg needing to be run on pm1)
It was coded to handle multiple configured IP addresses, but seems to be an issue here like its only reading the first interface and them comparing to the configured IP address. Will need to investigate further inhouse.
A work-around for now would be to reinstall using the first interface, if possible.
I couldn't reproduce on my local vm with 2 Ethernet interfaces when I configured to use the second one.
The code is doing a match between the configured pm1 Ip address and the available Ip addresses on the server using the getifaddrs() API. So maybe on your system, the ip addresses detected by this API, for whatever reason..
if possible, could you provide the following info by running these commands:
- ifconfig
Thanks, David
I reproduced the issue when it was using the local ip address, looks different than the users. But this needs to be fixed
Do you want to utilize the configuration data from the saved copy? [y,n] > n
ERROR: postConfigure install can only be done on the PM1
designated node. The configured PM1 IP address doesn't match the local

also it could be that the user specified an IP address that doesnt show up when we run the API to get the list of local Ethernet ports. So maybe be we need to allow the user to overide this check and continue.
Changed to prompt when the ip address doesnt match to allow the user to decide to continue or not.
"The Configured PM1 IP Address of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx does match any of the"
"Server Ethernet IP addresses there were detected, do you want to continue?"
"This is to make sure that you arent running postConfigure from a non-PM1 node."
prompt = "Enter 'y' to continue using Configured IP address [y,n]
