Tableau server installation

I am trying to implement tableau server installation on a Ubuntu machine(AWS) as a multi-node cluster, Whenever I try to add a backgrounder process to the worker node , the node status changes to degraded . If I remove the backgrounder process then the node status changes back to running. There are no apt errors except the last job step failed due to time out.

Also on the tableau ui status page - i see that backgrounder for the node is unlicensed. Has anyone faced similar issues? How should I solve it?

I am using a trial version.

Server details Tableau-server = 10.5 build: 10500.18.0109.1050

ubuntu@10:~$ tsm pending-changes apply

Not sure if you are still looking for an answer to this but the issues is likely that a trial isn't licenced for a multi-node install. For your POC trial just run as a single node (that will be plenty of grunt for 10-25 users) and if you need more than that talk to your Tableau rep
