Unity 5 upgrade fails - server renamed

[jchorlton]

I am upgrading Unity to version 5.0.1 from version 4.1.2 running on Windows 2003.

I am running the upgrade program and get the attached error.

I also see the following error in the install log file.

2007-11-22T11:29:00 - IsServerRenamedBefore Test Started. (E:\Views\CU5.0.0.297\un_Setup\UnitySetup\InstallExe\Src\READINFO.CPP 1096)

I have changed the Server name, but we did that after we installed the Operating System but before we did the Unity pre-requistes including SQL 2000.

Does anyone know where this check is looking?

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks in advance

Yes, I ran into this last weekend on an upgrade. There is a missing row that needs to be added.

Here's the BUG ID - CSCsd92113

and the workaround:

Open SQL Enterprise Manager > Databases > UnityDB > UnitySetupParameter.

Right click and return all rows.

Go to the bottom of table.

Under Name column enter: @PrimaryServer

Under Value column enter: Name of Unity server.

Thanks very much. That fixed it.
