5230: Upgrading from 2.7.3 -> 3.0

Having an issue with a media server I'm trying to upgrade from 2.7.3 to 3.0.  Failing with error:

"NetBackup jobs are currently in progress. Stop all NetBackup jobs and then try the upgrade again. The software upgrade has been aborted!"

Funny thing is... this is a new appliance and is not in production yet... so there are *never* jobs running on it.

And when I do a "bpps -x" there are no jobs running that I can see:

# bpps -x

    It shows this behaviour every now and then. Try again or do a reboot, give it time to "settle" and try again. The appliance runs a test job before starting the upgrade. Sometimes it's to fast, and the testjob backup, restore, expire havn't finished yet.

    Hi Elanmbx,

    I did a bit of a search regarding your issue and came up with several hits, but the one below is the only one that seemed possibly relevant to you:

    https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000024704

    I know the article references versions earlier than yours and you say the appliance is new and not in Prod, and never has any jobs running - but just wondering if it may have some old images on it as discussed in this article.

    Hope this helps,

    Steve

      Yup - already been through that Tech Note.  No help in this case...

        Grrrr... frikkin' mystery now.  I decided to bump up the logging to see if I could get further info on the error:

        vcfgxlogcfg -a -p 409 -o 8 -s DiagnosticLevel=6

        vcfgxlogcfg -a -p 409 -o 8 -s DebugLevel=6

        Ran "Install" from the CLISH to generate the error... and this time it worked.  Upgrade is presently progressing apparently normally.

        I have no idea what changed that would now allow the upgrade to proceed.

        But it is proceeding, so I will just get on with my day. :)
