My Mac instance mac1.metal failed to come back after updating it over VNC.
I have both rebooted this instance, stopped it. started it, and even created a new dedicated host and a fresh new Monterey instance on it... and none of them have passed reachability checks after many days.
This is all in the eu-west-1c zone.
"InstanceStatus": {
"Details": [
{
"ImpairedSince": "2023-01-06T20:47:00+00:00",
"Name": "reachability",
"Status": "failed"
}
],
"Status": "impaired"
I'm not confident in the reliability of the Mac offering in this zone.
Also right click system logs are you sure this is support for mac1.metal?
Because mac1.metal is not supported for the EC2 serial console.
and the logs page is just blank as I would expect.
The Amazon documentation for EC2 has the answer (link). Specifically regarding bare metal instances:
If you perform a restart from the operating system on a bare metal instance, the instance status check might temporarily return a fail status. When the instance becomes available, the instance status check should return a pass status.
This is the same for the system status check.
I suggest you give it some time. You can try viewing the system logs through the AWS Console for more information if it seems to be taking too long.
