PAYG Installation Errors

Insufficient Interfaces

When less than two network interfaces are assigned to the EC2 instance the following error message appears on the console:

***************************************************************
NSv requires at minimum 2 ENI, power down and add addition ENI
***************************************************************

Unable to Contact Provisioning Service

When the EC2 instance cannot contact the provisioning service, the following error message appears on the console.

***************************************************************************
Cannot contact provisioning service, check that internet access is provided
***************************************************************************

To resolve this error, check

  • Does the EC2 instance have a public IP (Elastic IP) assigned?
    • If not, is it configured to access the internet by way of an internet gateway?
    • If the virtual machine is not configured to access the internet on initialization, then it is not able to acquire a serial number.
      • After initialization the EC2 instance can be isolated again.
  • Check that the security group is not blocking access to internet.
    • If it is, then the customer should enable access temporarily.
    • If they wish to restrict it, then use the IP address associated with instanceregister.soniccore.cloud.eng.sonicwall.com.
