Bug ID 1460785: renew_nodes.sh script may leave omd pause if aborted during running of script

Last Modified: Sep 04, 2026

Affected Product(s):
F5OS F5OS-C(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
F5OS-C 1.5.0, F5OS-C 1.5.1

Opened: Dec 15, 2023

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

The renew_nodes.sh script may leave a /tmp/omd/pause file behind if abort during execution, which causes orchestration manger (OMD) to stop taking actions while the file exists.

Impact

This will cause orchestration manager (OMD) to stop taking actions while the /tmp/omd/pause file exists on the controller. This can impact cluster rebuilds, adding and removing blades/controllers from the cluster, creation of new partitions in openshift associated with new partitions configured in confd, and other openshift associated actions.

Conditions

This can happen if the renew_nodes.sh script is aborted via a ctrl-c while it is being run by the user.

Workaround

The workaround is to manually remove /tmp/omd/pause on both controllers if the renew_nodes.sh is interrupted during it's run via ctrl-c or some other method.

Fix Information

None
