Podman scope unit is listed as failed

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

If you run 'systemctl | grep -i failed', you discovered a failed systemd scope unit:

[root@controller ~]# systemctl | grep -i failed
● libpod-3f61c4efc9f5f576d12e6d04b3d3b420c524392088678234857e8f5cf4736174.scope                                                        loaded failed failed    libcontainer container 

A closer inspection of the service shows:

[root@controller ~]# systemctl status libpod-3f61c4efc9f5f576d12e6d04b3d3b420c524392088678234857e8f5cf4736174.scope

However the container the service is referring to is up and looks healthy:

[root@controller ~]# podman ps | grep -i 3f61c4efc9f5
