Waagent crash about walinuxagent

[yuezh]

@vnorbix, did you do any proxy config to waagent? Such as:
HttpProxy.Host=None
HttpProxy.Port=None

[vnorbix]

@yuezh, thanks for your response. HttpProxy is not present in the config, here's my full config I'm using:
Role.StateConsumer=None
Role.ConfigurationConsumer=None
Role.TopologyConsumer=None
Provisioning.Enabled=y
Provisioning.DeleteRootPassword=y
Provisioning.RegenerateSshHostKeyPair=n
Provisioning.SshHostKeyPairType=rsa
Provisioning.MonitorHostName=n
Provisioning.DecodeCustomData=n
Provisioning.ExecuteCustomData=n
ResourceDisk.Format=y
ResourceDisk.Filesystem=ext4
ResourceDisk.MountPoint=/mnt/resource
ResourceDisk.EnableSwap=y
ResourceDisk.SwapSizeMB=2048
LBProbeResponder=y
Logs.Verbose=n
OS.RootDeviceScsiTimeout=300
OS.OpensslPath=None

Do you think a verbose log would help you?

@vnorbix, does cloud-init runs in your VM?

[vnorbix]

@lizzha, yes, it seems to be, but I found this in cloud-init.log:

@vnorbix Seems there's conflict between cloud-init and waagent in provisioning.

Have you ever tried to set
Provisioning.Enabled=n
ResourceDisk.Format=n
in waagent.conf, and then provision the VM?

[vnorbix]

@lizzha, I changed the config file, shut down the VM (deallocated), then started it, no changes, the same error lines are in the logs.

[lizzha]

@vnorbix , could you please try following steps:

1. Make sure the config file contains
   Provisioning.Enabled=n
   ResourceDisk.Format=n
2. run command # sudo waagent -deprovision
3. shut down the VM
4. capture the VM image
5. create a new VM from the captured image

If this cannot resolve the issue, could you please provide detailed steps of how you update your VM and update waagent, so that we could try to repro and take a look?

[vnorbix]

@lizzha, thanks for the suggestion, this solution worked! Now waagent is running without problems. I can now also register the VM to recovery services, that was my initial issue.

So, next time it would be recommanded to recreate the VM when waagent will be updated (major version changes) with the OS, right?
