I'm running Prime Infrastructure 3.7 and the inline upgrade failed as shown below.

Have anyone experience this issue?

I don't have access to the VCenter to run a clean install and bring the backup.

Found my response here:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/3-8/quickstart/guide/bk_Cisco_Prime_Infrastructure_3_8_0_Quick_Start_Guide.html#task_1070867

 

If your existing Prime Infrastructure is 3.6.x or 3.7.x, and your upgrade path contains 3.4.x or earlier versions, then you cannot in-line upgrade that server to Prime Infrastructure 3.8 due to security vulnerabilities in the underlying Red Hat 6 installation. You will need to take a backup of the Prime Infrastructure 3.6.x or 3.7.x server, deploy a fresh Prime Infrastructure 3.8 server, and restore that backup into the Prime Infrastructure 3.8 server.

Funny that.  Yesterday, I was attempting to do an inline upgrade from PI 3.7 to PI 3.9 and encountered the same message.  

TAC was very swift with the response:

You will need to take a backup of the Prime Infrastructure 3.6.x or 3.7.x server, deploy a fresh Prime Infrastructure 3.8 server, and restore that backup into the Prime Infrastructure 3.8 server.

In English, if your existing PI came from PI 3.4, then you will need to do a fresh install.
