Verify that the newly deployed Replica nodes are operational and include the parameter values defined in the deployment descriptor.

Prerequisites

Verify that the VMware Blockchain nodes are deployed. See Deploy VMware Blockchain Nodes Using VMware Blockchain Orchestrator on vSphere.

Procedure

  1. SSH into the Replica node.
  2. Enter the login credentials for the VMware Blockchain Orchestrator user account.
  3. To view all the running containers, run the docker ps -a command
  4. Verify that the following containers are running.

    • Concord

    • daml_execution_engine

    • jaeger-agent

    • wavefront-proxy (optional)

      This container appears if you have set up metrics and enabled a Wavefront service account.

    • Fluentd

    • Agent

    • telegraf

  5. To view the Concord container logs, run the docker logs –f concord command.

    Sample validation output to validate that Concord is running correctly.

  6. To verify that the Daml execution engine is communicating with Concord, run the docker logs daml_execution_engine command.

  7. (Optional) Select a different Replica node IP address and repeat the validation steps.

What to do next

Verify that the Client node includes all the parameter values set in the deployment descriptor. See Validate a Client Node and Backup in VMware Blockchain Orchestrator for vSphere.
