I’m currently in the middle of doing a migration of our virtual machines away from HyperV and over to a VMWare solution. Our Octopus server was installed on WIndows 2012 Server which for some reason was taking 20 minutes just to boot after the VMWare migration. So instead what I decided to do was to build a new Windows 2008R2 Server from within VMWare and migrate the Octopus Server over to that new box.
So I followed the procedure listed in your help documentation and was able to get Octopus installed on the new server albeit with a newer version of Octopus than the existing server.
I then restored the latest backup from the existing server onto the new Octopus server and everything appeared to run just fine.
I then checked the environments tab of the new Octopus installation and found that all tentacles were showing up as disconnected (had an X on them). So I hit the reset connections button which gave an error however when I then clicked on the check health button for each environment the tentacles then successfully reconnected and I was able to upgrade them.
Unfortunately during all this one of the environments still remains in a disconnected state and hitting the reset connection buttons just reloads the Octopus webgui without appearing to do anything and when I hit the check health button for the environment in question the task completes in one second and tells me there are no active machines to check.
When I click into any of the machines in this environment that is having the issue and click on reset I get the error shown in the attached screenshot.
I’ve done a bunch of digging and have come across the tentacle troubleshooting guide and when I go to the tentacle URL for the affected machines I get a successfully configured tentacle message. I’ve unchecked the revocation list option as specified in your help materials and have checked netstat and from what I can see only tentacle.exe is using the given port.
I’ve attached a tentacle logfile from one of the affected machines.
Any suggestions for what else I can try?
