an archive is in progress

Hi rgcda,

It sounds like you may have a SyncIQ job running. If you are working with RCM (Remote Change Management) they should have documentation on what that error message means for certain if it is not SyncIQ. You could open a Support ticket as well at https://support.emc.com/servicecenter/createSR for more assistance.

If you wanted to check for running jobs, you can run the following command from the source cluster (not the destination cluster that you are upgrading):

isi sync jobs view

If you have any running jobs on the target cluster, you can either wait for them to complete or cancel the job using:

isi sync jobs cancel

You will want to replace with the name of the SyncIQ job you wish to cancel.

Once that is done, you will want to temporarily disable the migration services to prevent a new job from starting. I believe the command is the same in 8.0:

isi services -a isi_migrate disable

Be sure to enable the services once the upgrade on the destination cluster is complete:

isi services -a isi_migrate enable

I opened a case but haven’t heard anything yet. There are no sync jobs running and this archive is in progress has been running for 24+ hours now.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hello. I've hit this same issue - did you get a resolution on this? (I've also opened a support case).

What was the issue here. I ran into similar issue. no running jobs. I get the following error:

The upgrade system is busy processing another request: Operation now in progress

Upgrade status: FAIL

Current upgrade Activity is currently Archive

Any idea? Do I clear the upgrade cluster archive?

Hi

check compatibility version for upgrade. If Gen6 only firmware 10 but if not gen6 only use version 9.

If you need cancel and restart process :

isi upgrade archive --clear

after

isi upgrade view

isi upgrade nodes firmware progress list

and

isi upgrade cluster firmware start

isi upgrade cluster firmware devices

regards

I got this error after issuing "isi upgrade archive --clear"

an archive is in progress, please try again later (check upgrade status)

Did you ever get an update?  We have a similar issue going on.

No, I am going to contact support.

any luck anyone ? I got the exact same issue... archive in progress... for at least 48hrs now... SR opened but Support Team doesn't have a solution yet...

1) Please get internal IP address of the nodes and note them.

# isi_upgrade_status | egrep "Address"

"Address" : "192.168.3.1",

"Address" : "192.168.3.2",

2) Run below commands.

# rm /ifs/.ifsvar/upgrade/LOCK

remove /ifs/.ifsvar/upgrade/LOCK? yes

# isi_for_array 'pkill -9 isi_upgrade_sup'

# mv /ifs/.ifsvar/upgrade /ifs/data/Isilon_Support/upgrade.bak

3) Please reset for the internal ip's noted from step 1

WARNING THIS UTILITY SHOULD ONLY BE USED AT THE REQUEST OF ISILON SUPPORT

# isi_upgrade_reset "192.168.3.1"

# isi_upgrade_reset "192.168.3.2"............

4) Please check the status

# isi upgrade view

Hope this helps..

Thanks, will give it a go after hours, looks like it ll be disruptive isn't ?

I don't think it is disruptive but good idea to do after hours.
