"HttpRetryException: cannot retry due to redirection, in streaming mode" when attempting to upload to the Installation Manager via CLI

Troubleshooting


Problem

An exception is seen when the Command Line Interface (CLI) of IBM Cloud Pak System is used to upload a new package to the repository:
C:\pure.cli-2.3.3.3\pure.cli\bin>pure -u <username> -p <password> -a -h <CPShostShortName>
>>> deployer.imrepositories.uploadPackageFromLocal('WebSphere','C:\\xxxx\\n.n.n-WS-WAS-FP0nn.zip')
Traceback (most recent call last):

java.net.HttpRetryException: java.net.HttpRetryException: cannot retry due to redirection, in streaming mode

Cause

The <CPShostShortName> is resolved as a 'http' connection instead of the needed 'https' connection.

Resolving The Problem

Instead of the short host name associated with the IBM Cloud Pak System floating IP address, use:
 
  • The floating IP address of the IBM Cloud Pak System device

    Or
     
  • The full host name of the IBM Cloud Pak System device
when initially connecting to the device with the CLI tool.
