Unable to install raster analytics role - fails with reason "the server does not have a raster data store"

[anandak]

Hi, I have a single machine base enterprise deployment and I have added a separate machine with image server installed and set it as image hosting server in Portal. Everything went well up to this point.

While trying to stand up another machine with raster analytics role, it completes the installation, site creation, federation, but fails at the action_enable_server_function block with following error:

RuntimeError: arcgis_enterprise_portal[Enable RasterAnalytics] (arcgis-enterprise::enable_rasteranalytics line 20) had an error: RuntimeError: Failed to update federated server 'machine.domain.com:6443 (id: dxtjTtlXXKQZNOJN)'. Validation failed; the server does not have a raster data store.

I do not see any settings for defining a raster data store in the JSON roles. How do we set up a raster data store ?

@anandak prior to enabling Raster Analytics will need to manually register a file share a raster store.

However, in the next release of cookbooks v3.7.0 (Mid May 2021), there will be the ability to register a file share as a raster store. There will be a dedicated recipe for this, as well as json file examples for both Windows and Linux.

Thanks, Cameron K.

Hello @anandak,

This capability has been added to the latest release, v370!

Example usage can be found here:

https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-cookbook/tree/master/templates/arcgis-server/10.9

Can use the arcgis-server-fileserver.json to create the raster store share, and then use arcgis-server-raster-store.json to register the raster store.

Thanks!
