Cannot upgrade after restore

[j.huizinga]

Hi,

I have a backup from a 5.1.3.6000-2 machine.

I prepared another machine and configured it the same as the original (IP's username/password, security password)

I am able to restore the backup and everything seems OK, but I can not do any upgrade anymore.

The upgrade starts correctly and then ends with this:

(10747) Fri Mar 18 12:46:01 EET 2011
Publisher: Starting installdb... /bin/su -l informix -s /bin/sh -c "source /usr/local/cm/db/dblenv.bash /usr/local/cm ; source /usr/local/cm/db/informix/local/ids.env ; nice /usr/local/cm/bin/installdb -x /usr/local/cm/db/xml/xml"

enablenotify  rc[0]
installdb Failure [-x] 1
 
(10747) Fri Mar 18 12:46:49 EET 2011
ERROR: Final installdb run unsuccessful

What could this be?

The original machine is an IBM, and the target machine is a HP, but that should not cause any problems I think.

Any idea/

thanks,

Jan

Hello,

To what version you want to upgrade?

Amer

[j.huizinga]

7.1.5 and this version is supported.

The problem is when I don't restore the data, I can upgrade, when I restore the data I can not upgrade.

Thanks,

JH

What's the exact version you're trying to upgrade to?

Have you tried some other version for the upgrade to confirm it's not letting you upgrade?

Have you looked at the install/upgrade logs?

Hello Java,

What is happening is the following.

I have a backup from a customer running 5.1.3.6000-2

I installed in my lab the same version and then try to upgrade to 7.1.5.10000-12

When I install 5.1.3.6000-2 on my server, and then do an upgrade to 7.1.5.10000-12 everything works fine.

When I install 5.1.3.6000-2 on my server, restore the backup from customer (no errors) and then I try to upgrade it fails.

Before you can upgrade from 5.1.3.6000-2 to 7.1.5.10000-12 you have to install 'ciscocm.513e_upgrade.cop.sgn' because of a bug.

I can install 'ciscocm.513e_upgrade.cop.sgn' on my system running 5.1.3.6000-2 without error's

When I have restored the backup from customer and then I want to install 'ciscocm.513e_upgrade.cop.sgn' I receive the same error.

Untarring and a lot of things go well untill the staement mentioned in my first message.

I really would like to know why this is.

Thanks you,

Jan

This is regardless if I install a Locale, or a firmware

What is this?

Any Idea?

My Friend j.huizinga did you find what was the problem ad how did you solve it? becuase i have the same issue. Can you help me?.

[j.huizinga]

Hi,

The issue was that on an older version of 5.x some files were there like (/usr/local/cm/db/xml/xml/c72xx_display_instance-t1_cas.xml)

When you install from scratch version 5.2.x these files are not there anymore.

When you then restore the data and want to do an upgrade you get conflicts.

With TAC we copied around 5 xml files from the old server to the new 5.2 server, and the upgrade went OK.

Bye,

Jan

[juan.salaiza]

ok thanks my friend, your help was very helpfull for me. So now i know that i need to open a service resquest with TAC.

[Mohamed Amine Jaafar]

• For those who suffer from this and get rejected by TAC for unsupport (even though we are in fact upgrading to latest version...), installing a suitable devicepack for the version you are upgrading FROM will repair those xml files.

Meanwhile, good luck in finding a suitable devicepack for your dusty x.y(z) CUCM version.

I had this same error when attempting to install firmware cop files.
