FMC virtual upgrade failure

GaeMi — Sat, 06 May 2023 12:32:50 GMT

Today, I tried to upgrade my FMC 6.2.2.5 to 6.2.3 and I 800_post/880_install_VDB.sh error messages.

I didn't want to upgrade VDB, but I guess there was VDB upgrade process in FMC upgrade process.

It was might caused because I uploaded VDB 364 files before try to upgrade 6.2.3.

But I want to upgrade only FMC version to 6.2.3, not VDB.

And I captured VM snapshot and rebooted the FMC and retried it using command :

root@seatech:/var/sf/updates# upgrade_resume.sh

but I failed and got a error messsages 800_post/800_sensor_pull_vdb.pl.

At the moment, I can't access or control FMC policies and stuck in upgrade failure message.

I can't get a TAC support now. Can you give me some advices?

Hello.

I checked your link and I tried to install VDB 364 / 362 / 333 in CLI and I failed in 364 / 362. Therefore, I reinstalled to 333. (333 is my original VDB before start 6.2.3 upgrade process)

And I tried to upgrade process, but I still got 800_sensor_pull_vdb.pl error.

[230507 01:34:04:704] Starting script: 800_post/800_sensor_pull_vdb.pl

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at 800_post/800_sensor_pull_vdb.pl line 15.

In addition, I stucked upgrade failure messages in FMC GUI, so I wasn't able to access FMC GUI.

I found out that when FMC is rebooted I can access FMC GUI about 2~3 minutes before stucking in upgrade failure GUI.

I found the some process let me redirect to upgrade failure GUI using in /var/sf/upgrade-ui/http_server/httpsd resources.

So I tried to move the httpsd folder temporaily.

root@FMC:/var/sf/upgrade-ui/http_server# mv httpsd /Volume/home/admin/

After mv command, I wasn't able to access FMC GUI, it was rejected.

Foutunately I was able to access FMC GUI after I reboot the FMC. (also I saw the FMC console log about missing /var/sf/upgrade-ui/http_server/httpsd after reboot FMC)

I can change FMC rule and deploy successfully, so I think it is useful for escaping upgrade failure GUI. (I don't recommend it of course, always TAC support is much better than my command)

I retried to readiness check and FMC upgrade to 6.2.3 in GUI twice. Readiness check was success.

However, I also still have an 800_sensor_pull_vdb.pl errors.

My FMC still in upgrade failure status, but I can operate FMC, so I think it isn't serious condition at the moment.

Can I get some useful advices?

Thank you.

I have the same issue, and the same VDB is causing the fuss. Seems I am unable to update from VDB 362 to 363 or 364 and because of this the upgrade is failing every time I try to do it. I am looking into it.

Seems they have a lightweight version of the VDB but you have to contact TAC to get the alternate file.
