Caused by: com.teneo.esa.common.database.PersistenceException: [#80031] JDBC get connection failed : Communications link failure
When setting up D.A. (with MySQL also being on the master node), the master's MySQL database must be migrated to itself (from localhost, to the FQDN of itself). After migration has completed, the MySQL service is then disabled automatically as expected. However, the master's MySQL service will need to stay on since it will be the MySQL database too. If MySQL service is off on the master, then the worker nodes will not be able to connect to migrate their database data.
Open windows services, and re-enable the "MySQL" service on the master appliance
Applies To
This scenario may be seen in a distributed architecture (D.A.) environment that DOES NOT have a stand alone MySQL server (i.e, the master node and the MySQL server will be the same server).
