Problem description Problem conclusion Workaround

Extending an image to add a network interface fails with the following error:
RM14024 (Incompatible device backing specified for device'3')

This issue occurs only on standalone installations of IBM Workload Deployer. The issue is not applicable on IBM PureApplication System.
Extending an image to add a network interface is not supported. Additional network interfaces can be added during deployments by adding a NIC add-on to the pattern.

Images that are exported from IBM PureApplication System cannot be imported to a standalone installations of IBM Workload Deployer.

This problem occurs because IBM PureApplication System adds an entry for a .cloudburst file in the  OVA image name.ovf file of the OVA image. However, the .cloudburst file does not exist.

Therefore, when you use IBM Workload Deployer to import the OVA image, the .cloudburst file cannot be found and the import fails with an error.
Unless you first remove .cloudburst file entries from the .ovf file of the OVA image, you cannot import images from IBM PureApplication System to a standalone installation of IBM Workload Deployer. Before you import an exported image from IBM PureApplication System to IBM Workload Deployer, .cloudburst file entries from the .ovf file of the OVA image.

To remove .cloudburst file entries from the .ovf file of an .OVA image:
  1. Extract the exported .ova image file.
  2. Open the  OVA image name.ovf file.
  3. Remove any .cloudburst file entries from the list.. The following item is an example of a file entry for a .cloudburst file in a .ovf file:
    <ovf:File ovf:href=".cloudburst" ovf:id=".cloudburst" ovf:size="501"/>
  4. Recompress the OVA image with the modified .ovf file.
  5. Import the modified OVA image file into IBM Workload Deployer.

Importing images fails with IOError: [Errno 503] Service Temporarily Unavailable (Test Env = Rack 32).

As per the documentation in the following link: Importing the InfoSphere Information Server virtual system pattern, if you follow CLI method to import Information Server using PureApplication System (Intel 1.0.0.4 and IWD 3.1.0.7), it fails with the errors. It blocks importing images but not the pattern and script packages. Follow these steps:
  1. Add Information Server Virtual Images to IBM Workload Deployer using the Workload Console as described in Adding virtual images to the catalog.
  2. After the images are imported, you can proceed with CLI import procedure as described in, Importing the InfoSphere Information Server virtual system pattern, to import the pattern and script packages together.

Cloned virtual machine is not responding after the hot update operation on the stand alone IBM Workload Deployer.

The cloned virtual machine does not respond if you have followed these steps:
  1. Deploy the InfoSphere Information Server Enterprise Hypervisor Edition V9.1 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Engine Cluster Configuration pattern.
  2. Clone the Compute node virtual machine to expand the Compute node instance.
  3. Stop the cloned instance to increase the CPU and memory.
  4. Modify or increase the CPU and Memory.
  5. Start the Cloned virtual machine.
While deploying this pattern, select the required number of CPU and Memory to avoid the issue.
