Environment

  • Platform9 Managed Kubernetes - v4.0 and Higher

  • PF9CTL

Cause

Port 3306 is currently in use on the node.

Resolution

  1. Port 3306 should not be in use on the node that you are trying to onboard.

# netstat -tlna | grep ":3306"
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1115/mysqld
Warning

If there are any ESTABLISHED connections to mysql, ensure the service may be safely stopped before proceeding.

  1. Stop the mysqld process on the node.

# systemctl stop mysqld
