  • Manually running the NetWorker Web User Interface (NWUI) configuration script attempted by the NVE upgrade:
Command: 
/opt/nwui/scripts/nwui_configure.sh -silent /space/avamar/repo/temp/*/tmp/nmc_ui_config.txt

The following error is returned:

keytool error: java.io.IOException: parseAlgParameters failed: PBE parameter parsing error: expecting the object identifier for AES cipher

Cause

The cause for this issue was not identified; however, a workaround was identified which allowed the upgrade to complete.
This issue was not reproducible in testing.

Resolution

Workaround:

1. Delete the NetWorker Runtime Environment (NRE) "latest" symbolic link:

rm -rf /opt/nre/java/latest

2. Confirm which Java Runtime Environment (JRE) package is installed under /usr/java.

ls -l /usr/java
Example 
nve:~ # ls -l /usr/java
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   16 Oct 29  2020 default -> /usr/java/latest
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Jun 16  2023 jre1.8.0_341-amd64
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   28 Jun 16  2023 latest -> /usr/java/jre1.8.0_341-amd64

3. Re-create the NRE java latest symbolic link using the /usr/java/jre path collected from the above command:

ln -s /usr/java/jre /opt/nre/java/latest
Example: 
nve:~ # ln -s /usr/java/jre1.8.0_341-amd64 /opt/nre/java/latest

nve:~ # ls -l /opt/nre/java/latest
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Feb  9 13:39 /opt/nre/java/latest -> /usr/java/jre1.8.0_341-amd64

4. Complete the NWUI configuration:

/opt/nwui/scripts/nwui_configure.sh -silent /space/avamar/repo/temp/*/tmp/nmc_ui_config.txt

5. Return to the NVE Installation Manager (Web UI) and complete the upgrade.
6. Once the upgrade completes, reset the NRE symbolic link back to the NRE Java instance:

A. Delete the symbolic link for /opt/nre/java/latest:

rm -rf /opt/nre/java/latest

B. Confirm the /opt/nre version:

ls -l /opt/nre/java

C. Re-create the symbolic link using the NRE Java Runtime Environment (JRE) folder:

ln -s /opt/nre/java/jre#.#.#_### /opt/nre/java/latest
