or it is otherwise timing out when pulling down something

it's a custom rancher cluster (rke2 1.24.10) i'm using the "Registration" link on a ubuntu box to join the cluster. i still have 2 health master nodes, i'm trying to replace the failed 3rd master node.

my windows node gets the same error, this is what i see in event log:

failed to run server: unable to parse connection info file: error gathering file information for file C:/var/lib/rancher/agent/rancher2_connection_info.json: CreateFile C:/var/lib/rancher/agent/rancher2_connection_info.json: The system cannot find the file specified.

here's the full output:

I don’t know what would cause it to download the script, but then hang when trying to get the cluster connection info. I suspect something is confused on the rancher side.

so it's not memory, i killed a few things, and the node is all green now (rancher) but i'm still getting the same issue. i set -x on the install script, and i can see there error is:

any thoughts? i also treid posting in #developer

is this the same URL you’re downloading the install script from?

<https://rancher.mk8s.mydomain.com/v3/connect/agent>

just for giggles i extended the timeout in the script to 600, still fails.

it's just really odd that rancher would just hang like that.

these nodes have been running for 180+ days w/ no issues too.

make sure you’ve cleaned up both the old resources, and the new pending one, and then try again?

you might also run the rancher-system-agent uninstall script, and clean out anything under /etc/rancher to get a new cattle ID?
