How to resolve prereq connectivity check failure on OpenShift 4.16–4.18

When running Automation Suite prerequisites (uipathctl prereq run) on an OpenShift cluster (versions 4.16–4.18), the cluster connectivity check can fail on certain nodes with the following error:
time="2025-07-22T13:51:02Z" level=info msg="Wizard is running on :8080"
Error: listen failed with error: listen tcp :8080: bind: address already in usetime="2025-07-22T13:51:02Z" level=info msg="Wizard is running on :8080"
Error: listen failed with error: listen tcp :8080: bind: address already in use

The error typically occurs only on control-plane nodes.

To address this issue, you can use one of the following workaround options:

  • Run prereqs on worker nodes only.

    To avoid scheduling prereq pods on control-plane nodes, you must apply node labels to target worker nodes only. You must update input.json to include the node_labels section, as shown in the following example:
    "node_labels": {
      "node-role.kubernetes.io/worker": ""
    }"node_labels": {
      "node-role.kubernetes.io/worker": ""
    }
    This ensures that all prerequisite checks, including connectivity, are executed only on worker nodes and not on control-plane nodes where the conflict occurs.
  • Skip the connectivity check.

    If targeting specific node roles is not possible (when nodes are configured with multiple roles), you must run the prereq command excluding the connectivity check:

    uipathctl prereq run --excluded CONNECTIVITYuipathctl prereq run --excluded CONNECTIVITY
