Error Message

Error from the Installer – response file execution


 

0 11:44:20 Number of systems in main.cf = 0
0 11:44:20 Number of systems provided = 1
0 11:44:20 SFHA51 Full Upgrade
0 11:45:45 progress(Verifying systems: 100 8-8)
0 11:45:45 System verification did not complete successfully
0 11:45:45 The following errors were discovered on the systems:
0 11:45:45 Cannot find valid VCS configuration information on prdovmu003
0 11:45:45 main.cf is not valid:
VCS WARNING V-16-1-12224 Cannot open file ./main.cf with respect to directory /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config

Cause

Response file has been created where product specified is "Storage Foundtion HA" (SFHA).  An upgrade will validate the configuration for use in the new environment.  Due to VCS (HA) not being configured, the installer script was unable to access the VCS configuration file main.cf .

 

Response File

=======================================================

MYHOSTNAME="`/usr/bin/hostname`"

$CFG{ACCEPTEULA.EN_US}=1;
$CFG{OPT.EN_US}{GCO.EN_US}=1;
$CFG{OPT.EN_US}{INSTALL.EN_US}=1;
$CFG{OPT.EN_US}{INSTALLRECPKGS.EN_US}=1;
$CFG{OPT.EN_US}{PRODMODE.EN_US}="SF Enterprise HA";
$CFG{OPT.EN_US}{VXKEYLESS.EN_US}=0;
$CFG{KEYS.EN_US}{${MYHOSTNAME.EN_US}}=["8RZU-P28J-7FHT-T8OV-IWH7-94M6-CPPC-R"];

$CFG{PROD.EN_US}="SFHA51";
$CFG{SYSTEMS.EN_US}=[ qw(${MYHOSTNAME.EN_US}) ];
 

Resolution

Reponse file should contain a product of SF rather than SFHA so only Storage Foundation is upgraded.

 

from Response File:

$CFG{PROD.EN_US}="SFHA51";

(change to "SF5.1";)
 

 

 


Applies To

SF:

upgrading from 5.0MP3 to 5.1SP1 (VCS loaded but not configured)

 

OS:

HP-UX 11.31

 

(this is a generic issue that may likely apply to various OS platforms and Storage Foundation versions)

 

Issue/Introduction

Using response file to upgrade Storage Foundation HA when VCS packages exist but have not been configured.
