Issue

The following error is thrown when the nodes of the cluster are started simultaneously:

2021-08-04 18:43:34,772 ERROR [Framework Event Dispatcher: Equinox Container: 94ea1e3b-3db5-4b49-9cf5-398239563c13][osgi.logging.org_eclipse_osgi:97] FrameworkEvent ERROR 
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.liferay.portal.kernel.module.framework.service.IdentifiableOSGiServiceUtil


Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.1 (below FP11)


Resolution

In general for DXP it is a requirement to start the nodes sequentially. This means that you need to wait until a node fully starts up, before starting the second one.

However, you may request a hotfix (LPS-89569) from Support if the patch level of the affected environment is below DXP 7.1 Fix Pack 11. Above this level the issue is already fixed.
