Symptoms

Pre upgrade health check (PUHC) fails with the following error: "X509 certificate table has fewer records. Please add needed records back and synchronize to the peer node." Error code: 0xE10050030102.

The health check is an off-release PUHC check that is contained in the Health Check thin package. See the Additional Info section of this article for information about the Health Check thin package.

As seen from the PowerStore Manager user interface (UI):

user_db_fewer_records PUHC check failed

Cause

When cluster is created, CP starts on the primary node and rsync may not work properly. As a result, in the backup file, only the primary node has a valid user.db.

During NDU, CP can start on the peer node. In such case, the peer node may synced the incorrect user.db to the primary node and backup the incorrect user.db to the configuration package. As a result, NDU may fail.
