Come on ISE BU, this if the third time in a year where I have seen a patch released and then pulled back down. The focus on software quality has been discussed, where is it?

The bug id CSCvk57963 is not visible to customers.  Is anyone at liberty to divulge what this bug is all about?

[Marvin Rhoads]

CSCvk57963 was filed as a result of a case I was working with TAC. 

Basically the installation fails on a multi-node deployment. It's further complicated if you initiate from the GUI because "patch remove" from the cli will work but then the system will notice that pending job and re-attempt to install patch 2 and fail.

There is a work around but it's not sustainable. The patch needs to go back to development for revision and additional testing and regression analysis before it's ready for widespread production deployment.

Hi

Is a patch2+fix for CSCvk57963 expected to be available within the next days ? If not, what is the new ETA for patch2 ?

Many thanks

Istvan

@Istvan Matyasovszki I've been told to expect it in the coming few days.

I'm sure Cisco will want to triple check the quality control on the re-release.

[Istvan Matyasovszki]

Thank you Marvin, let us see if we can also get an official estimate.

Friday 3 August is the latest projection. It could be late in the day San Jose time so don't look for it too early.

[Istvan Matyasovszki]

Sounds good,

Cheers

Thanks for the update Hsing-Tsu - I see the new file is posted.

I think I'll wait a week or so to try it again and let some other brave souls go first.
