ACM Worker node installation is stuck in the 'Installing' state, despite having already completed successfully.
Issue
- Node added through ACM shows as
"Installing step 9/9"in the GUI indefinitely. - The worker node functions properly, enabling workload scheduling despite its reported status.
- The Hive (management component) confirms successful installation, but ACM GUI remains stuck.
-
Eventually, the ACM GUI shows a
"failed"status with a timeout error:Error This host failed its installation. Host failed to install because its installation stage Done took longer than expected 1h0m0s. -
The issue began after changing the API certificate for the managed cluster.
