Current EFA 3.0.1.1, Upgrade to 3.0.1.2/3 failing

[VMguru]

I apparently am at 3.0.1.1 as I have had Auto Update enabled.
I received an email today from the EFA saying:

Update to 3.0.1.2 is pending.
Your system has an updated kernel, but you are not running on the latest kernel. Please restart your system and run EFA-Update after restart.

I rebooted the system. I have run from PuTTy as root:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/sbin/EFA-Update -update

The end of the process shows this in PuTTY:

/var/EFA/update/EFA-update-script died with exit status 1

Now the system is emailing me with:

Update to Version 3.0.1.2 FAILED. Updates cancelled.
Please visit http://www.efa-project.org for more information.

Is there a way to manually update from 3.0.1.1 to 3.0.1.2 using the file EFA-Update-3.0.1.1-3.0.1.2.tar.gz?
I downloaded it locally.

Not really sure what to do next. Remember, Windows admin here, so be kind
Thanks, Jeff

[shawniverson]

Yes, you could, however, the script itself will invoke yum and also fail. We need to find the root of the problem. Do you have a proxy, firewall, a/v scanner, or content filter between your appliance and the Internet?

[VMguru]

Yes, we have an Untangle firewall appliance on the edge between the internet & the EFA appliance.

[SharazJek]

i noticed the /etc/yum.conf has some nonstandard restrictions, "kernel*" being included on there. is the upgrade script calling yum without ignoring the exceptions?

try this:

yum check-update --disableexcludes=all

[VMguru]

OK, so today I tried the command again. Sorry fro the long output paste, but I wanted you to have all the detail needed to help figure out what's going one.
Now, it appears to me that there is an error related to IPv6 which is disabled in our EFA. Do we need IPv6?

Thanks, Jeff

You should not need IPv6. Something is interfering with your ability to download files from the Internet (Untangle?)

[VMguru]

OK, I know this makes no sense at all.
I added a new vNIC to the EFA VM, hadn't even setup a static IP (there is no DHCP on the subnet for the portgroup I chose).
I ran:

sudo /usr/local/sbin/EFA-Configure
Choose option 14) Update Now

And it all worked... I am now running 3.0.1.4!

Go figure. BTW - this is on vCenter 6.0 Update 2 with ESXi 6.0 Update 2.
