Issue

During initialization of Tableau Server 2019.1.1 on a Linux host, the following message may occur:

Initialization Error
This job failed due to an error.
Initialization terminated at step 25 of 28: Finalizing the topology failed.
You can try the following troubleshooting methods to resolve the problem:
Re-enter information in the previous setup step
Try initializing server again

The "initialization terminated" error may also occur at step 22 of 25.

tsm status -v returns a result of DEGRADED, with Elastic Server and Ask Data in an error state:

Sometimes, installation is successful, but Ask Data and Elastic Server are in an error state.
