Info

Make sure the template file has been generated before accessing the UI to create a cluster. Run the command ls /etc/hosttype to verify the existence of the file.

If the file exists, execute cat /etc/hosttype to check its contents. If the file is empty or not generated or contains the template name "test", halt the cluster creation process and contact the DataCore’s Customer Support Engineer to resolve the issue. Once the issue is fixed, you can proceed with the cluster creation as mentioned below. This will help avoid reinstalling the Debian package again.
