NetXMS V5.2.8: Background Upgrades pending
-
Hello @all,
want to update NetXMS from V5.2.8 to V6.0.1. After the Update NetXMS cannot upgrade DB:
Upgrading database... Upgrading from version 52.24 to 53.0 Upgrading from version 53.0 to 53.1 Upgrading from version 53.1 to 53.2 Upgrading from version 53.2 to 53.3 Upgrading from version 53.3 to 53.4 Upgrading from version 53.4 to 53.5 Upgrading from version 53.5 to 53.6 Upgrading from version 53.6 to 53.7 Upgrading from version 53.7 to 53.8 Upgrading from version 53.8 to 53.9 Upgrading from version 53.9 to 53.10 Upgrading from version 53.10 to 53.11 Upgrading from version 53.11 to 60.0 Upgrading from version 60.0 to 60.1 Upgrading from version 60.1 to 60.2 Upgrading from version 60.2 to 60.3 Upgrading from version 60.3 to 60.4 Upgrading from version 60.4 to 60.5 Upgrading from version 60.5 to 60.6 Upgrading from version 60.6 to 60.7 Upgrading from version 60.7 to 60.8 Pending online upgrades must be completed before this step Rolling back last stage due to upgrade errors... Database upgrade failed Background upgrades pending. Please run mnxdbmgr background-upgrade when possible.So i rolled back the server to the latest snapshot...
After that i tried to upgrade the db with the following commands. Everytime i startet the upgrade, the "nxdbmgr background-upgrade" says the background update is locked by another process...
Also i don't understand, that "nxdbmgr check" says, its the latest db version, but if i run the "nxdbmgr background-upgrade" it want to upgrade the db version 52.24...
Please help, i'm a little bit lost... What have i to do to fix the db problem...
Many thanks

Yes, that's some background upgrade that was needed when upgrading to 5.2.8. When packages are upgraded by apt, background upgrade is initiated automatically. Could be that you stopped the server soon after upgrading to 5.2.8 and background upgrade did not complete. It's locking mechanism was introduced recently, so there might be some issues with it.
Recommended way is to check with ps fax or similar to see that there's no other nxdbmgr background-upgrade running on your system.
Since you've started nxdbmgr background-upgrade, once it completes system should be able to upgrade to 6.0 (note that there's 6.0.1 with some bugfixes, should be available already)

Hi Filipp,
thanks for the fast reply. How can i recognize then background prozess?
ps fax shows me only this in combination with netxms:

Ss 0:16 \_ postgres: 15/main: netxms netxms 127.0.0.1(33932) idleOther question: Can i run "nxdbmgr background-upgrade" while running the NetXMS server or must i stop the server?

Command line should contain nxdbmgr
Yes, that's the idea of background upgrade that it runs while server is running. This way we minimize server downtime.

Hi Filipp,
nxdbmgr ist not running
:~$ ps fax | grep nx 507 ? Ssl 1:02 /usr/bin/nxagentd -S 42549 pts/0 S+ 0:00 \_ grep nx...but nxdbmgr shows, that Background Update ist locked...
:~$ nxdbmgr background-upgrade NetXMS Database Manager Version 5.2.8 Build 5.2-506-g7d4137c08a Background upgrade is locked by another process Are you sure you want to start background upgrade? (Yes/No)Should I run "nxdbmgr background-upgrade" anyway?

Yes, this seems to be a lock without the actual upgrade. Pls run nxdbmgr background-upgrade and force unlock.
