“Error: no suitable peers available to initiize fr

Question

I've been working with the IBM Blockchain v2 beta for the past few months. About 2 weeks ago (with the platform's update to 1.4.1), I've been getting this error:

"Error processing transaction. Error: no suitable peers available to initialize from"

I have attempted to clear and start a new network, using the same configuration as before. But I am still getting this error.

Connection profile:

With today's GA release, I started a new network and configured it as normal. However, I'm still experiencing the error.

Any possible reasons for this error?

Answer 1

The same issue occurred but was finally resolved by correcting the profile file path.

The channels section is not required if discovery is enabled.

Answer 2

I wanted to share how I solved my problem. The problem was that when I require connection profile file, it was getting cached and new added channels were not present and it was giving me the error. Anyone who has a similar error, please check ur connection profile while gateway is connecting to the network.

const networkPath = hfc.getConfigSetting('network-file-path');
delete require.cache[networkPath];
const connectionProfile = require(networkPath);

Answer 3

I've the same issue, and the problem was the connection profile. You need to add channel configuration before "organizations".

Here is an example.

"channels": {
    "mychannel": {
        "orderers":  [
            "orderer.example.com"
        ],
        "peers":{
            "peer0.org1.example.com": []
        }
    }
},

Answer 4

i had the same problem and it was all my fault. i created a credential with organization MSP that doesn't exist.

    const identityLabel = '[e-mail]';
    const identity = X509WalletMixin.createIdentity('Org1', cert, key);

   await wallet.import(identityLabel, identity);

here there was no Org1 MSP address but Org1MSP. after fixing that it worked so check what your credential MSP is. hopefully i'll save someones precious time because i've spent almost 2 days with this problem and no solution on the internet for HL

    const identityLabel = '[e-mail]';
    const identity = X509WalletMixin.createIdentity('Org1MSP', cert, key);
    await wallet.import(identityLabel, identity);

Answer 5

This error looks like it is a result of not configuring anchor peers. You need to configure anchor peers in order to use service discovery to get the full list of peers needed to endorse the transaction. The connection profile just has your own organizations peers.

On IBP, you can configure anchor peers on the channels panel.

Answer 6

If you're using node sdk. In order connect to the Gateway with a connection profile (gateway.connect) in DiscoveryOptions. You may add gateway option like this.:

discovery: {
  "enabled": true,
  "asLocalhost": false }
