Cisco Secure ACS upgrade from 5.3 to 5.4

[Brett Hunter]

Currently running Cisco Secure ACS v5.3.0.40.40.  Please note that I've already applied patches 5-3-0-40-10 and Pointed-PreUpgrade-CsCum04132-5-3-0-40.  When I attempt to do an upgrade to ACS v5.4 using "ACS_5.4.0.46.0a.tar.gz", I receive an error, "Manifest file not found in the bundle"  This also occurs if I try to do an upgrade to version 5.5. 

The repositories are configured correctly via CDROM or SFTP(to a SYSLOG server).  I'm able to open the repositories fine and view the files in there so I don't think access issues are a concern.

Any ideas?

For completeness can you confirm that the command issued for the upgrade was

application upgrade ACS_5.4.0.46.0a.tar.gz repository-name

jrabinow...yes, that's the command issued.  worked great when I went from 5.1 to 5.2 to 5.3.

upgrade: Manifest file not fonnd issue with 60GB VMWare

Description

Symptom:

When trying to upgrade to ACS 5.4, the user always receives an error even if the file is not corrupt and everything else is done right.

ruhearnACS/admin# application upgrade ACS_5.4.0.46.tar.gz russ
Do you want to save the current configuration ? (yes/no) [yes] ? yes
Generating configuration...
Saved the running configuration to startup successfully
% Manifest file not found in the bundle

Conditions:

Upgrading to ACS 5.4 this occurs when there is not enough disk space. Use the 'show inventory' CLI command to verify that ACS has the required amount of disk space. A supported ACS instance requires 500gb of disk space as per the install guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.4/installation/guide/csacs_vmware.html

Upgrades are not supported for the evaluation version size of 60gb.

Workaround:

None, you must have the required amount of disk space to upgrade ACS.

mohanak....I don't think this is the evaluation version since I have a full service contract and license.  I ran the "Show inventory" command and regarding hard drives on my ACS:

Hard Disk Count(*): 2

Disk 0: Device Name: /dev/sda

Disk 0: Capacity: 250.00 GB

Disk 0: Geometry: 255 heads 63 sectors/track 30401 cylinders

Disk 1: Device Name: /dev/sdb

Disk 1: Capacity: 250.00 GB

Disk 1: Geometry: 255 heads 63 sectors/track 30401 cylinders

(*) Hard Disk Count may be Logical.

Given those findings....is that considered 500 GB disk space?  any other workarounds?  The usage for the disk: filesystem is:

88154112 bytes total used

63615541248 bytes free

67112824832 bytes available
