Description

When upgrading from RHEL7 to RHEL8 using ansible scripts, you may encounter an Infoscale error. The error message indicates that the license installed is "FOUNDATION". To resolve this issue, you need to install either the STORAGE or ENTERPRISE license.

To resolve the Infoscale error while upgrading from RHEL7 to RHEL8, follow these steps:

1. Check the license status:

   • SSH into the server where the upgrade is being performed.
   • Run the following command to check the license status:

     /usr/sbin/vxlicrep | grep "PRODUCT EDITION" | head -1
     

2. Verify the license installed:

   • Check the output of the command. If the license installed is "FOUNDATION", proceed to the next step.

3. Install the required license:

   • Obtain the STORAGE or ENTERPRISE license from the Veritas licensing portal.
   • Copy the license file to the server where the upgrade is being performed.
   • Run the following command to install the license:

     /usr/sbin/vxlicinst -k 
     

4. Verify the license installation:

   • Run the following command to verify the license installation:

     /usr/sbin/vxlicrep | grep "PRODUCT EDITION" | head -1
     

5. Retry the upgrade:

   • Once the license installation is successful, retry the RHEL7 to RHEL8 upgrade using the ansible scripts.

Note: Make sure to replace with the actual path to the license file.
