Install status audited on boot location where I try to install new software
Hi,
I'm trying to install 16.1.3.1 over a Boot Location where 13.1.3.6 was some time ago (I do have 3 boot locations over all). Once the image gets tested it does not install as it should but instead the old software version goes into "Audited" status with not progress whatsoever. This lasts indefinetly (or at least it did not change after several hours today...).
I'm upgrading from 16.1.2.2 to 16.1.3.1
I rebooted the box, It went back to normal but once I tried to install new soft again it once more gets stuck in audited.
Also - it seems that the device makes a local copy of the image as I'm quite sure I deleted the local copy of 13.1.3.6 from the device before I reattempted the installation. (see screenshot).
No entries are appearing in the liveinstall.log and when I do show sys software it does show the audited status:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Sys::Software Status
Volume Product Version Build Active Status Allowed Version
--------------------------------------------------------------------
HD1.1 BIG-IP 13.1.3.6 0.0.4 no audited yes
HD1.2 BIG-IP 14.1.4.4 0.0.4 no complete yes
HD1.3 BIG-IP 16.1.2.2 0.0.28 yes complete yes
This happens on a VCMP guest. The host is currently running 16.1.3.1
Another attempt at install is not possible unless I reboot the device.
Any ideas?
A small update. F5 magic did happen...
On one device in pair i managed to install the software on HD1.2, fair enough.
But when I went to upgrade the second device in pair I noticed that it had rebooted on its own... About the same time i rebooted it's counterpart. Thanks for the maintenance windows, because it seems two devices in HA pair were rebooting together... So much for redundancy.
The funny part is that when i attempted to install new software on HD1.1 on the second device (it had the same issue) it got installed with no hassle at all...
So now the only disatvantage is that one device is running from HD1.2 and the second from HD1.1 which only annoys my personal perfectionist.
It's not really a solution, but I will mark the post as resolved anyway. If anyone does have an idea what kind of F5 magic did happen here exactly I'll be happy to hear from you.
Also - what is exactly the "Audited" status - the docs seem awfully quiet about that...
