LSF Tile 2.1.0 cluster creation succeeds but Application Center install fails

[sam-andaluri]

I had 1 instance of cluster creation being complete but application center install fails. See below for AppCenter install log. I tried to troubleshoot this Digvijay where i installed mariadb manually and tried restarting LSF and Appcenter. But that didn't work either.

After manually installing mariadb, systemctl status shows
Aug 10 20:36:00 icgen2host-10-240-65-37 mysqld[34400]: 2023-08-10 20:36:00 171 [Warning] Access denied for user 'pacuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

But there is no pacuser in /etc/passwd
