ANM Server Upgrade

[John Ruhl]

We are currently running ANM server version 4.1.  I am trying to upgrade to version 5.1.  But when I run the "application upgrade anm-va-5.1.ova Upgrade" command, I receive an error that states:  "Manifest file not found in the bundle"

I then tried to run the install command with the same error.

Has anyone else encountered the same issue?  If so, how did you resolve it?

Hi John,

You cannot use the OVA file to upgrade a ANM software directly. This file contains the VMware machine itself.

The right process to be followed is documented in the link below:

I hope this helps

Thanks Daniel, it appears that there is no real upgrade.  I basically have to put that .ova file and recreate the appliance and restore from back up.
