Can't locate object method "QEMU" Error During Upgrade to 6.0.x

Hi all,

 

I have a two node VCS cluster running on two KVM Virtual Machines RHEL 5.5.

VCS version is currently 5.1 SP1 RP2 and I'm trying to upgrade it to version 6.0.1.

Right after I run the installer script I get the following error:

 

[root@Hostname rhel5_x86_64]# pwd

/shared_data/VCS/dvd1-redhatlinux/rhel5_x86_64

[root@Hostname rhel5_x86_64]# ./installer

Can't locate object method "QEMU" via package "Padv::RHEL5x8664" at /shared_data/VCS/dvd1-redhatlinux/rhel5_x86_64/scripts/EDR/Padv/Linux.pm line 1061.

[root@Hostname rhel5_x86_64]#

 

Has anyone encountered such an error before?

I've contacted support and so far they have only instructed me to approach RedHat and open a ticket with them.

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Yair

    Hello Yair,
     
    Please find below the diff file with the corrections in place to resolve the QEMU package error message you were encountering 
     
    package Padv::Linux;
     
    sub detect_linux_by_dmidecode_sys {
        my ($padv, $sys) = @_;
     
        my $out = $sys->cmd("_cmd_dmidecode 2>/dev/null");
     
        my ($flag, $bios_vendor, $mfgr, $product) = ("", "", "", "");
        foreach (split(/\n+/, $out)) {
            if (/^\S/) {
                if (/^BIOS Information/) {
                    $flag = "bios_info";
                } elsif (/^System Information/) {
                    $flag = "system_info";
                } else {
                    $flag = "other";
                }
                next;
            }
     
            if ($flag eq "bios_info") {
                $bios_vendor = $1 if (/Vendor:\s*(.*)/i);
            }
            if ($flag eq "system_info") {
                $mfgr = $1 if (/Manufacturer:\s*(.*)/i);
                $product = $1 if (/Product Name:\s*(.*)/i);
            }
        }
     
        $sys->{virtual_type} = $padv->VIRT_VMWARE if ($mfgr =~ /VMWare/i);
        $sys->{virtual_type} = $padv->VIRT_KVM . " or " . $padv->VIRT_QEMU if ($bios_vendor =~ /QEMU/i);
        $sys->{virtual_type} = $padv->VIRT_VIRTUALPC if ($mfgr =~ /microsoft/i && $product =~ /virtual machine/i);
        return;
    }
     
    1;
     
    You can save this file as cpi_60xP1.pl and run the installer as follows:
     
    Installsf –require /tmp/cpi_60xP1.pl
     
    Regards

    Additionally, I forgot to mention that this happens on 6.0.2 as well.

     

    Thanks,

    Hello Yairz,

     

    do you currently have a case open with support?  if so can you let  me know the case number as I would like to look at the explorers from the KVM virtual machines that you are tryng to upgrade VCS on.

    I would also like to take a look at the installer logs if you have these.

    Can you please send me the output from a dmidecode, please feel feel to email this to me directly  mark_alleyne "at" symantec.com

     

    Thanks
