Error Message when installing 13.0HF3

This isn't a question, just a solution/FYI because I couldn't find this issue when searching DevCentral for (Failure testing installer update status in /shared/images/) on VCMP.

I ran into an issue when attempting to upgrade from 13.0HF2 to 13.0HF3 on my vCMP guest. The 13.0 ISO installed correctly to an empty boot location. However, I got an error message when I attempted to install Hotfix3 on that same partition.

There's a bug ID for this (665725) and no fix yet, but the workaround is to restart the lind process on the guest.

[notmylogin@notmyguestname-f5-prod:/S1-green-P:ForcedOffline:Disconnected] ~  clsh bigstart restart lind

This allowed me to continue the software installation without issue. Hope that helps.

    I run into the same problem with the same HF (HF3 for 13.0) on BIG-IP VE. The "bigstart restart lind" solved the problem. HF install process restarted and completed successfully.
