Symptoms

  • Customer upgraded PFxM from 3.8.x to 4.6.1.
  • The network is configured with Full Network Automation (FNA).
    NOTE: The issue might appear when using Partial Network Automation (PNA).
  • The RG network is configured with one Virtual Disk Service (VDS) for management network and one VDS for data network. 
    The management VDS was configured as TRUNK and the data VDS was configured with Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
  • The original RG template (on 3.x) was configured as LACP, and the RG network was modified over time. 
  • The following warning appears when trying to upgrade RG components:

    LACP enabled LAG is missing from VDS 





    Impact
    Unable to upgrade any existing RG in the system.

     

    Note: Upgrade is blocked because of LACP and Non-LACP mix and not because of Lifecycle mode
    After Fixing the LACP Mix, RG may still be in Lifecycle mode for other reasons (ex NSX), but that will not block the upgrade 

    Cause

    Starting with PFMP 4.x, using a mixed network configuration within the same RG is no longer supported.
    The network must be configured as either LACP or TRUNK, but not in a mixed format.

    Resolution

    Migrate the mixed network configuration to either LACP or TRUNK.

    Impacted Versions: PFMP 4.x
