Solved: TMSXE 4.1 upgrade failing

Matthieu LIENART · ‎01-13-2015

I am trying to upgrade TMSXE from 4.0 to 4.1.

It is not a cluster deployment.

I stopped the "Cisco TMSXE" service.

But once the upgrade is complete, it launches the "ClusterNodeWizard" window and gives me an error saying

"Cannot complete upgrade while a node in the cluster is active.

Stop the service on the currently active node, then finish upgrading both nodes before restartin the services."

But again, I am not on a cluster deployment of TMSXE, I didn't choose the CClustering option during the upgrade and the "Cisco TMSXE" service is stopped

Hi,

Interesting problem, not something we have seen before.

I recommend opening a TAC Service Request. In the meantime, there are two thing you can check:

Open all .xml files in C:\ProgramData\Cisco\TMSXE\Config in a text editor. Most of them should have a "version" element somewhere at the top. In all files with a "version" element, does the version number match the exact version number you'll see listed for TMSXE in Control Panel > Uninstall or change a program?
Open regedit.exe, and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Cisco > TMSXE. In a non-clustered installation, you would normally only see two strings there: "ConfigLocation" and "StorageLocation". Do you see other string values there, like for example "NodeConfigLocation"?

Kjetil,

Thanks a lot for your answer.

To answer to your questions:

Yes they are all identical 4.0.0.951
No, I see a third item named NodeConfigLocation. I erased it. Stopped the TMSXE service and redo the install and it went thru this time.

But I had to completely uninstall TMSXE 4.1, re-install 4.0 and restore my backup, but then it told me that I do not match the license requirement as the TMS Application Integration License is already in use... I had to restart both my TMS servers, and then redo the whole thing once more...

Great to hear that you resolved the issue. :-)

Next time you get a license error like that: Instead of restarting the TMS servers, you can rather recycle the IIS application pool that TMS uses. That will give you five seconds of TMS downtime instead of five minutes.
