@aleks_first For all OCP related courses, there is a wait time of 30-40 mins before you can continue with the lab start script. 

When your lab VMs are active, please donot run any lab script unless the OCP cluster is ready to take your requests which generally takes 30 mins approx. If you want you can check the current OCP cluster initialization status by doing ssh to utility server as lab user i.e  

[student@workstation ~]ssh lab@utility 

then run "./wait.sh --wait"

let the script finish on its own and then you can logout from utility server and run the lab start script  in workstation VM.

Hello @aleks_first 

There is a wait time of 30-40 minutes for the cluster to be ready if you create the lab from scratch. Please don't execute any lab script while the cluster sync process is running. Even if you restart your VMs  (wait time is 15 to 20 minutes), check if the cluster is ready or not before starting with the labs.

You can check if the cluster is ready or not by following the below commands -

1. ssh to the utility VM as lab user from Workstation Machine -    $ ssh lab@utility

2. On the utility VM , run the command -    "./wait.sh" you can try the lab start command once the script finishes.

Once all the components are ready, you can start with the lab start script on the "workstation" VM.
