Add a new Rancher Agent node, can't find it after join it to cluster

Archive Rancher 1.x

I have created 1 Rancher Server master and 2 Rancher Agent nodes. Now tried to add a third one to the cluster. Trouble happened:

[vagrant@node3 ~]$ docker ps

Why it Failed to find state.json? What kind of file it is?

Maybe because of the version of docker.

Docker version on old Rancher Agent nodes:

[vagrant@node2 ~]$ docker version

After uninstall the newest docker version and installed an old version. It works.

Install Docker Engine on CentOS | Docker Docs

How can I install a specific version of the docker engine - DockerEngine - Docker Community Forums

According to Rancher’s Supported Docker Versions doc, Docker 17.10.x and 17.11.x aren’t supported. Docker 17.12.x is supported since Rancher 1.6.14, though.

Though we don’t test/support docker edge versions, 17.10 and 17.11 would probably work with Rancher 1.6.14+. That error is the same reason 17.12 is not supported until that version, docker moved the state file.
