Problem Upgrading from vRealize Operations 6.0.2 to 6.1

Hi,

I'm having trouble upgrading vROps from version 6.0.2 to 6.1. The 6.1 OS upgrade works fine but the 6.1 appliance upgrade fails at "Steps Completed" "4 of 9 - Preapply Validated"

I was unable to go from 6.0.1 VA to 6.1. However upgrading from 6.0.1 to 6.0.2 was successful (both OS and VA)

I can also confirm that there were no projects in place when doing the upgrade (from the release notes)

Upgrade does not complete

When upgrading an earlier vRealize Operations Manager deployment to this release, the cluster might become unresponsive with the System Status page continuously displaying Waiting for Analytics. The problem occurs if any of your version 6.0.x capacity projects have expired by having an implementation date that is now in the past.

Workaround: Before starting the upgrade, open the World > Projects page in version 6.0.x. When you display the page, vRealize Operations Manager updates the internal state of expired projects, and the unresponsive upgrade issue does not occur. If you have already started an upgrade and encountered this issue, contact VMware Technical Support for assistance.

I have even gone so far as to verify the MD5 check sum on the files to make sure they downloaded correctly.

I have done plenty of Googleing and there doesn't seem to be a resolution to this problem. Any help is welcome.

Thanks

Call GSS and open an SR, as it looks like the db upgrade failed. This ca be due to a numbers of reasons.

If you find this or any other answer useful please mark the answer as correct or helpful.

Still trying to resolve this before calling VMware support, but I don't think I am able to. Other things that I have tried

1. I can successfully upgrade to 6.0.3 but it still fails when taking the next step to 6.1 (again in the same spot "Steps Completed" "4 of 9 - Preapply Validated")


Additional information:

We have a vRealize Automation and a vRealize Business installation which I believe have links into vRealize Operations. I have a hunch that this has put new entries into the database which is causing the problem

Has anyone successfully upgraded vROPs 6.1 which is linked with vRealize Automation and vRealize Business?

Hi Tom

Seen errors like that  - failing on db. You should call GSS, right away. You might just be wasting time...

There are know errors in regards to upgrading to 6.1 - GSS will be the best way to go.

I am having the exact same error message and opened up a SR with VMware. Did you get this resolved in the end?

No I didn't resolve the issue and I didn't open an SR. I just redeployed the appliance and threw away the old metrics. Opening a SR and then dealing with it is in the too hard basket and I didn't want to just cover up a problem only to have it come back again in the next upgrade.

The redeploy took under 2 hours to be up and running again and recreate my rules.

I have kept the old appliance in an powered off state and if historical stats are required, I'll power it on again (with precautions).
