Unable to Install IPERF3 via App-Hosting - Mandatory Layer Missing

[Oh Drother]

Hi,

I have been struggling all day in an attempt to get mlabbe/iperf3 installed on a 9300 running 17.3.5 using advantage.

So far, I have tried saving the image using docker save which defaults to the "oci-archive" format (uses blobs) as well as using podman to save the file as "docker-archive" format (uses layers).

When trying with the "oci-archive" format, I get this error:

• Jul  8 19:48:30 UTC: %IM-6-INSTALL_MSG: Switch 1 R0/0: ioxman: app-hosting: Install failed: Error during app installation: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/vol/usb1/caf/tmpExtract5vWd29/rootfs/blobs/layer.tar'

And when saving with the "docker-archive" format, I get this error:

• Jul 9 00:00:17 UTC: %IM-6-INSTALL_MSG: Switch 1 R0/0: ioxman: app-hosting: Install failed: Invalid Archive file: Unable to extract docker rootfs /usbflash1/iperf3-podman.tar to /vol/usb1/caf/tmpExtractDcN7Da/rootfs Error:Mandatory layer 75654b8eeebd3beae97271a102f57cdeb794cc91e442648544963a7e951e9558.tar is missing!

Hoping for any sort of feedback, this is driving me crazy.

check are you effecting with this bug :

https://bst.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCwa56172?rfs=qvred

post output :

#show app-hosting infra  #show iox

try adding command in global level and test it :

app-hosting verification disable

I do not have iperf blog but i have installed iperf for testing on 17.6.X  - same procedure. (make sure the the docker file is valid)
