Hi Chinthaka,

The output of the command "dpkg -l hp-sdn-ctl" with "ii" before the package name means that the controller package "hp-sdn-ctl" with version "2.2.5.0016" is installed.

Could you please provide the output of the following command?

sudo service sdnc status

And also could you please provide a screenshot of the console message that appears when you try to access the GUI?

Best Regards,

Ahmad

Hi Ahmad

Thank you

this is the out put for the command that you ask

root@ubuntu:~# service sdnc status
sdnc start/running, process 893

when I was installing controller it got the dependency error of keystone version because of that I change the below one

~$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb
http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu
precise-updates/folsom main"

into icehouse.

is it wrong..?

when I am tring alway with the above one it was installed keystone 2012.1 that's why I change it I don't know is it right way or not....

I have attch the screenshot with firefox. when I am tring with the chrome it is downloaded the file call "ui.File"

Best Regards

chinthaka.

Hi Chinthaka,

I'm not sure that the Keystone "folsom" version is supported with HP VAN SDN Controller version 2.2. But it's supported with version 2.3 but HP recommends to use IceHouse or later version as stated in the installation guide of 2.3 p8. I already went through the installation of 2.3 with IceHouse and it worked fine.

So, I prefer either to use the recommended version (folsom) with 2.2 or use IceHouse with 2.3.

BR,

Ahmad

Hello Chinthaka,

Since you are trying to install HP SDN controller version 2.2.5 so Folsom keystone should work fine. Also have a look on an earlier post at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/SDN-Discussions/SDN-VAN-controller-installation-error/m-p/6583218/highlight/true#M410

However for more information you can have a look on Installing a new controller and Keystone server [page 7-9] from SDN Controller 2.3 Installation guide.

Are you able to see REST API page[ https://Controller_IP:8443/api/ ] ?

You can also give a try to fresh install and restart the services.

Please let us know if this helps or you still face the issue.

Thanks,

HP SDN Team
