Re: CSPC 2.9.1.3 Device collection runs on long time and upload fails

Nike · ‎02-01-2022

We are having two issues on our CSPC after installing the 2.9.1.3 patch:

1. The collection process runs for days and during it runs, the web interface is no more available. When I checked the logs, I found the error message: "Error during discovery process. Error message: DCSO-1000:Discovery live job queue size exceeded maximum limit {0}.".

2. We are no more able to upload to Cisco server, as the job always fail with the error: "Upload failed at 02/01/2022 10 14 38 EST with the response Connectivity service is not running".

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi,

How did you upgrade your 2.9 server to 2.9.1.3?

Hi Shivam,

here is the picture of the installed updates:

We upgraded from version 2.9.1.1 to version 2.9.1.3.

Every time I log in from web browser, I receive this notification:

"Software Update Last job triggerd was Upgrade Now and the result of the job - Failed - Download of the package is failed. Please check the logs for more details."

Kindly let me know if you need more information.

Hey,

It looks like you have upgraded using gui , this might be the reason of such errors you can repatch the cspc using cli or we can schedule a webex meeting to do it

We work from 8am - 5pm EST

Shivam Pandey

Thanks for your quick reply.

Can you send me the procedure to repatch using CLI, if not too complex, I can try, otherwise, yes, we can schedule a webex meeting to do it together.

Hey,

To upgrade from CSPC CLI we must have login as collectorlogin and root user.
I would like to share steps to upgrade from CLI:

1. Download the Collector patch to the local system (Zip file) from https://software.cisco.com/download/home/286312935/type/286312958/release/2.9.1.3
2. Transfer the patch to the CSPC using the Collectorlogin home directory via WinSCP software. below are the steps to use WinSCP.

Download WinSCP or any other File transfer tool. WinSCP is recommended.
Once download then open WinSCP. The login page will pop-up. Enter the hostname (IP address) of CSPC and login as collector login by entering the username and password.
After login the left side will show your local machine's data and the right side would be CSPC.
Transfer the downloaded CSPC upgrade patch file from local machine to CSPC by drag and drop. Then continue with the step no. 3 in upgrade steps.

3. Log in to the console of CSPC as a root user.
4. Unzip the patch file using the command unzip <Filename> and cd to the unzipped directory as a root user
5. There will be 2 files under the unzipped directory which are JEOS and SP patch.
6. First, we will execute JEOS using the command below:

./install.sh JeOS <JeOS filename>
Then cd to the directory /opt/LCM/logs/ to check the logs using the commands tail -f install and tail -f apply
Once a script is executed successfully, then continue with the step no. 7.

7. Then follow the below steps for the SP patch as well:

./install.sh SP <SP filename>
Monitor the installation by executing tail -f /opt/LCM/logs/apply
After successfully applying the patch in /opt/LCM/logs/apply

The upgrade process will be done and check the version in CSPC GUI.
To know more about this upgrade, you can follow the CISCO CSPC upgrade guide as well.
CSPC Upgrade Guide (cisco.com)

If you have any queries we can schedule the webex

Shivam Pandey

Thanks,

I will try this and will let you know the result.

If there is any issue, we will schedule a webex meeting.

Hey Shivam,

I tried the procedure you gave me and couldn't iinstall JEOS and SP as they were already installed.

Find below the output.

Hi Sivam,

I replied yesterday, but it seems you didn't get it.

I was not able to patch by CLI. It failed because it found the version was already there.
