Cannot deploy after upgrading FMC to 6.4.0.7

[Isaac Smith]

Last night I was upgrading a few of our FWs to 6.4.0.6 and saw the latest was 6.4.0.7.  I upgraded my FMC from 6.4.0.6 to .7.  Afterward, deployments to sensors in ASAs (various code levels 6.2.3, 6.3.0) would not deploy with the following error:

The 'source' parameter ("/var/cisco/deploy/sandbox/vdb-pkg/vdb_lib/var/sf/DetectorCommon.lua") to SF::System::copy did not pass the 'Type Validator (system.file)' callback

At first it seemed limited to just ASA w/FP services but now I can't deploy to any devices including HA 2310s, 4110s, that are on 6.4.0.6 and 6.4.0.7. I opened a tac case last night but wanted to put this out here to see if anyone else has had this issue.  The FTDs provide a bit more detail in the failure:

Hi,

I had the same problem after the FMC upgrade to 6.4.0.7-53. When I look at the logs, I see that the problem does not have the DetectorCommon.lua file in the "/var/cisco/deploy/sandbox/vdb-pkg/vdb_lib/var/sf" directory. As a workaround, I copied this file from directory "/var/cisco/deploy/sandbox/vdb-pkg/vdb_lib/var/sf/appid/odp/libs" to directory "/var/cisco/deploy/sandbox/vdb-pkg/vdb_lib/var/sf" and deployed the policy again.

Regards,

[Isaac Smith]

Interesting.  TAC has opened a defect and is working on a real fix.  The actual issue has to do with the latest VDB 330 in my case.  The workaround was TAC changed config files and back revved to VDB 329. This fixed deployments to FTDs but not SFRs.  I just got off a call with development and they had to replace some files (waiting for clarification) I believe related to /var/cisco/packages/vdb-329.tgz and the DetectorCommon.lua files and now I can deploy to SFRs.  Awaiting the BU to find the actual fix. During the holidays it's tough as the BU shuts down.

Thanks for sharing the details of your case @Isaac Smith - it's good to know.

I will definitely avoid that combination until a fix is released!

[Isaac Smith]

Thanks.  I see the bug is public and there are 4 other cases listed so obviously i'm not the only one.

[jjohann]

Thanks Isaac.  I was also told that my issue was related to a bug.  Not sure if it's the same one.  I'll research those solutions more.

I am afraid to upgrade to 6.4.0.7 has Cisco found a working resolution yet? Will be checking this thread for more updates.

Thank you

That did it

Thank you!
