Maestro Madness
Hi
i've a strange issue, basically I added a new domain on my MDS, both primary and secondary server but the CPCA process was down.
I deleted them ( with a lot of work ... GUI and mgmt_cli didn't worked,so i've to use this script CreateDomainRecovery.sh )
Now I've created it again (with new name and ip ) but the CPCA is always down.
a debug of CPCA (fw debug cpca on TDERROR_ALL_ALL=5) show this when I stop and start that DMS.
[cpca 214892 4117449088]@MI-TAR-MDSMGMT[28 Feb 10:50:28] main: the process is on
main: could not initiate the Certificate Authority. No Certificate Authority existing
[cpca 214953 4117440896]@MI-TAR-MDSMGMT[28 Feb 10:50:34] cpca: Mon Feb 28 10:50:34 2022
[cpca 214953 4117440896]@MI-TAR-MDSMGMT[28 Feb 10:50:34] main: the process is on
main: could not initiate the Certificate Authority. No Certificate Authority existing
I can connect to it using smartconsole ( if I point directly the ip of the new domain ) and I have this error
Error (Security Management Server CA is not running)
The sic is "not communicating"
It's strange
the SIC between MDS and DMS is automatically managed,and my previoys 4 domains works like a charm ( for now .... )
any idea?
Please open a TAC case for this.
already did ,but i had to solve by myself ,later i'll explain how
@Supporto_Checkp By all means, please do share.
We have the exactly same issue. Is there any solution?

MDS R81.10 JHF78
As mentioned above, the best is to open a TAC case.
But while you are doing that, please run "cpwd_admin list" to see if cpca process is up.
There were multiple issues some of them were solved with me and TAC with CPM doctor. The main fault was the corrupted registry template. Not fully matched in our case but similar issue - sk98768 - Scenario 8.
