Hyperledger Composer Network Deployment Issue: Card Not Found

Question

Currently working through the Hyperledger Composer Basics tutorial Part 3 using the cli. I was able to successfully install the prerequisites and create a Business Card Network Card, but am stuck at the following step of network deployment.

When I attempt to start the network, I get a "Card Not Found" error.

I am in the correct directory and have looked at the v0.20 documentation (the tutorial is in v0.15) but have been unable to sort this out given that I am fairly new to UNIX and the cli.

My latest attempt at using the correct code:

composer network start -f dist/perishable-network.bna -n perishable-network -A admin -S adminpw -c PeerAdmin@h1fv1 -f networkadmin.card -V v0.20.2 

Tried so far:

• I have tried exporting the admin card to h1fv12, but this did not resolve the issue.
• Tried removing all the docker images and re-launching the network from scratch.
• Tried re-downloading the source files.
• Tried a number of different combinations for the -v -c and -f to see what would work.

Much appreciated if you have any advice!

Answer 1

Re-execute the command, but correct the PeerAdmin card name.

The default name is "PeerAdmin@hlfv1" and NOT "PeerAdmin@h1fv1"

Answer 2

I think you forgot one command, just follow these instructions:

1. Go to fabric-tools OR fabric-dev-servers directory
2. run script file: ./createPeerAdminCard.sh

This will create PeerAdmin card, so now you can access the fabric network by using that card.

Now Run command to start the network.
