Symptoms

Execute operation 'recreate' task fails after running for 4 hours with the error:

APS Application Error:
406 Not Acceptable

The VPS is running Windows Server OS.

Tracing /var/log/pa/vps.log on OACI Instance Manager node for recreate operation, the following error is found:

The important part is the VM2VF operation - PASSWORD_RESET.

Cause

The password passed to the VPS during recreation exceeds 15 characters, which results in a stuck set-password operation on the backend Virtuozzo hardware node. The issue is acknowledged as a Virtuozzo guest tools software issue PSBM-60732.

Resolution

Cancel the task and recreate the server again from CCP, setting the password less than 15 characters.
