Thanks Francesco, BTW, it seems I wont be able to download anything until clean up status is deleted :-(

You can download the patch independently from fileconnect, copy it to appliance and then run the upgrade. Before you do that, can you let me know what it returns if you run manage->software->upgradestatus.

Also can you provide the scnreenshot of the error you get

Hiya,

Sorry for delay.

I downloaded it manually and launch the upgrade but it's aborted because there is an upgrade process running... the only work is "clean up work in post-upgrade" since I upgraded it to 2.6.1 months ago.

Your storage is up to date, no conversion is required
Conversion of this storage pool should take approximately:
    Less than a minute
NOTE: Actual conversion time may vary depending on several factors including disk fragmentation,
      data locality and segment duplication.
      The effect of segment duplication cannot be quickly predicted before the conversion is run.
NOTE: Multiple runs of this tool will result in lower and lower estimates, due to file system caching.
      The first run will be the most accurate.

The target version is: 2.6.1

clean up work in post-upgrade

Probably best to open an official support case.

Yep, I'm going to try it ;-)

Thanks for posting the solution.
