Unable to Configure & Register Nodes Using Qlik CLI

jct1 — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 20:09:18 GMT

Hello,

I am attempting to perform a silent installation of Qlik Sense. We have got the product installed using the standard command line tools, but I am facing issues when performing the post-installation configuration using Qlik CLI.

I am trying to add nodes to the cluster and register them. I have tried the running the following commands from our Central Node:

New-QlikNode -hostname <hostname> -name Rimnode-1 -nodePurpose Development -engineEnabled -proxyEnabled -schedulerEnabled -printingEnabled
Register-QlikNode -hostname <hostname> -name Rimnode-1 -nodePurpose Development -engineEnabled -proxyEnabled -schedulerEnabled -printingEnabled -verbose

<hostname> swapped out with actual hostname.

The first command runs as expected, the node appears under Nodes in QMC, however I'm getting some web errors when running the second command. See partial error log below when PowerShell attempts to connect to qrs/servernodeconfiguration

Invoke-RestMethod : The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request
Invoke-RestMethod : The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

Am I following the steps in the correct order? Should I be configuring/running anything from the Rimnode host first? I'm at a bit of a loss on this one and Get-Help seems practically useless for these commands.

Thanks,

James

I never had success with the Register-QlikNode function but I have used this with success: https://gist.github.com/levi-turner/6edf4860d9c7b1c8729fbaeae295a0db

I have been trying to use the New-QlikNode command that you reference in that link, and I am getting stuck on the error below. Do you have any thoughts about what is causing this?

$password = New-QlikNode -hostname server.corp.company.net -name newserver -nodePurpose Both -engineEnabled -proxyEnabled -schedulerEnabled -printingEnabled -failoverCandidate

Do you mind posting that over to GitHub (https://github.com/ahaydon/Qlik-Cli-Windows/issues) ? I ask because there's a more targeted distribution there towards the key developers.

Cheers
