Cannot see my Cluster in PX-CENTRAL

It doesn’t allow me to do this because i used it as operator.

Yesterday i checked this but it didn’t work for me, it seem i installed as operator and it doesn;t allow to apply on pods. Let me try today again. Any simple solutions to integrate pods with certs?

Can you check if other application pods are able to reach the endpoints. Installing via operator should not make any difference, the pods should be able to reach out. What version of K8’s are you using? Also, I see you only have 2 nodes in the cluster, for quorum you should have odd number of nodes.

v1.18.3 my kubernetes version,
This morning i added additional 2 nodes but my pod cannot initialize on them. It say : Readiness probe failed: HTTP probe failed with statuscode: 503

also i found that when secure boot is enabled pods are not provision to nodes. It is possible to skip this because i don;t have such option in VM

I have one question, Can you please explain why when i do get storage nodes it shows Initializing status on kubenode4 and kubenode5. But when i do describe of those storagenodes it shows status ONLINE

Hi,
I have signed up for the 30 days free trial and am experiencing the same issue. I generated the specs using central and deployed both the portworx enterprise and portoworx backup but my cluster doesn’t appear in PX-Central.
When I run the commands that were shared in the thread, I am getting the following responses.

 [root@ip-10-10-33-64 /]# curl https://pxessentials.portworx.com/osb/ping
    {"status":"pong","message":"PX-OSB is UP and running"}

I also noticed that a service object has been created of type LB in the px-backup namespace that only works on port 80. Is there a way to change that to 443 and use HTTPS. I also don’t know how to login to that portal, when deploying I had not selected the OIDC option.
Any help will be highly appreciated, as I really want to get to understand portworx before the end of the trial period to decide if this fulfils all our requirements or not, so we can decide if we should pay the license fee or not.
Thanks,

Hi @Mohammad_Ayub
I see that you are using the 30 day trial for Portworx enterprise, not Portworx essential.
What is the use case you are trying to test? Is it PX-Backup or Portworx Enterprise?

I installed as an operator some time ago and everything worked for me as usual
