Upgrade 6.7 to 7 getting " Can't start upgrade, node removing in progress"

[Bruticusmaximus]

I'm trying to do an upgrade of our 6.7 Vrops environment. After the PAK is uploaded and verified, I get "Can't start upgrade, node removing in progress".  This is for the OS upgrade piece.

I've rebooted the servers, I've taken the cluster offline.  It's 3 nodes. It's the out of the box config.  I have added any plug-ins or fancy dashboards. 

Any ideas?

Hi

Did you see this step-by-step?

I didn't run the Upgrade assessment tool because it said that if you had run it to upgrade to 6.7, you didn't need to run it this time.  I'll give that a shot though. thanks

I try to run the upgrade assessment tool and get "Can't start upgrade. Node removing in progress" :smileylaugh:

I think I'll have to call support

Looks like you have something like a failed vROPS cluster. Tried bringing the cluster offline , reboot and bring online again?

So, a ticket to Vmware fixed it.  They had to go in and edit the DB to stop it from trying to remove a node.
