Post management solution sp2 upgrade issues

I used the SIM to upgrade 2011 Management Solutions SP1 to SP2.  However, it shows the SIM as being installed but not configured properly.  The Altiris Event Log Viewer is full of errors such as:


Description: Unable to generate policy XML for item: Server (de2fe9d8-a355-42ef-a709-02a37ce52610)

Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

Have you tried reinstalling SP2 ?

Yes, we have tried to reconfigure it and to reinstall it.  No change.  However, I am now running a reconfigure of the database since it appears the database did not get updated during the upgrade.  I have a case open with Symantec.

Hi,

Did you have any success in getting the 2011 Management Solutions SP2 up and running again after you upgraded it from SP1 using SIM? We are facing the exact same problems as you with the same error messages, and I have not been able to find a solution on the web.

Like you, I get the impression that the database needs an upgrade, but I assume the Reconfigure database removes our existing config? In the Altiris Log Viewer I see:

The database [Symantec_CMDB] requires a product upgrade for C:\Program Files\Altiris\Notification Server\Config\CoreSolution.config: Old version: 7.0.5201 New version: 7.0.8800.0

I also see the following error - which I don't know if is related to the upgrade problem:

Unable to copy NS credentials and DB configuration/credentials information to SIM repository--SIM cached information will be used.

Any answer would be greatly appreciated :)

Best regards,
Lars Nummedal

We experienced the same problem and ended up with reinstalling the SSR Ms from scratch and redeployed all agents, policies etc.

Thanks for your prompt reply! It is always nice to know that one is not alone :) I guess we'll go down the same road...
