R80.30 Migrate/export - Export is already in process.

[AkosBakos]

Hi Community,

I ran into a strange problem when I tried to export the configuration:

[testmgmt]# $MDS_FWDIR/scripts/migrate_server export -skip_upgrade_tools_check -v R80.40 /var/log/Export_for_Upgrade_from_R8030_to_R8040.tgz

"Verification failed: Export is already in process. You can't run more than one export at a time."

Thre process was the following:

1. Install R80.30 from iso
2. Install the relevant JHF take
3. Reverted the SmartCenter from backup into my test environment
   1. Same jumbo take etc.
4. Update the migrate to this version: ngm_upgrade_wrapper_994000418_1.tgz
5. Run the command

After reboot, the issue still persists.

Maybe somebody has any idea...

Hi Community,

After some invetigation, is found this in upgrade_client.sh (Ithe migrate_server script referred to here):

export_is_running_file_path="$MDS_FWDIR/tmp/exportIsRunning"

Under this location there was a file "exportIsRunning".

It was empty. After I deleted it the migrate export started working.

Maybe this file was remained there from earlier.

A CP expert can validate this solution?

I had the same problem. This resolved the issue. Thanks.

Yes, this is a correct approach. Normally, exportIsRunning file should be deleted after export is finished, but apparently something went wrong in your case once, and the file remained.

I found the file, which command should I use to exclude the exportIsRunning file?

cd $MDS_FWDIR/tmp/
[Expert@xxxxxx]# ls -lh | grep exportIsRunning
-rw-rw---- 1 admin root 0 Jun 3 02:28 exportIsRunning

The date this file was updated match the date the backupscript stopped

Tks

If the file is there, and you are 100% sure you did stop export process, run "rm $MDS_FWDIR/tmp/exportIsRunning" to delete the file
