CirrusInstall 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 instea...
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...

CirrusThanks for that, however that is not the case here.
I've read about the /shared/noupgrade some time ago, still not idea what is the purpose of it.
However on my devices there is no such file or directory and the install failed yet again (yeah, I'm doing next batch today and the history repeats itself).

What I plan to try today is to remove the boot location and install software while adding a new one.

CirrusI'm not sure if anyone is hanging on the edge of the seat for an update...
Once I remove the boot location I was not able to install new software. Not on HD1.1 not on HD1.4... I was not ballsy enough to try 1.2 which was the last one unused.
After I restarted the device, I was able to eventually install the software.
F5 magic 🙂
