RAC installation failed on overlay FS

[largefp2018]

[root@nodec ~]# docker exec -i -t -u root racnode1 /bin/bash bash-4.2# systemctl list-units --state=failed UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION ● systemd-machine-id-commit.service loaded failed failed Commit a transient machine-id on disk

LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded. ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB. SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

1 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too. To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'. bash-4.2#

It seems that you are testing on OVERLAY FS and seeing the following issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1472439

I would request to disable machine-id service and systemctl status state must be running. If the systemctl status state output is degraded or failure then RAC installation will fail.

You can automate this by using following sequence:

Script the RAC container creation command and save it as create_racnode1.sh:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Creating RAC Container - Racnode1"
docker create -t -i --hostname racnode1 \
