There are a lot of fuss using labs

[Serdhub]

Hi all,
I'm triyng to study for EX380/EX480/EX374 but I'm very frustrating about labs.
Every day, every lab take 30-40 min to start and most time there are errors in lab script, then I have to stop and restart lab (that starts in about 10 minuts second time).
It's a very big losing time.
I've a PREMIUM learning subscription.
Anyone has same problem?
Thanks
Fabio

Yes, it seems more of a problem during the daytime hours (like 07:00 - 15:00 UTC). On the vm's I also encouter problems connecting to the internet (Firefox has a lot of documentation linked as bookmarks) which are not always reachable.

Ciao Fabio, ho lo stesso problema con EX380

Ciao Fernando,

per una cosa che costa migliaia di euro mi aspetto performance al top.

Sinceramente è abbastanza deludente.

Hi @Serdhub ,

Thanks for reaching out !

Please open a support case from your ROL portal describing the issue that you are facing as of now. Our support team will help you with the assistance.

Regarding the lab start time - Yes the OCP cluster ( and it's components ) takes time to get ready before they can accept the requests. You can ssh to utility server ( from workstation) as lab user and then can run ./wait.sh to check if the OCP cluster is ready or not. Once the cluster is up and running , you can start the exercises.

I've started EX480 and noticed that the first Lab (not Guided Exercise) did not start after 50 min. Out of frustration I stopped and restarted the Lab Environment. The next step is to destroy (and recreate) the Lab Environment. Is there anyone to contact for assistance?
