Deployment Agent Offline Install - Failed to extract metadata

[Nbto]

Hello,

I would like to update Deployment Agent on my R80.30 MGMT, but unfortunately I got a problem "Failed to Extract metadata". I checked the logs and i found "Error: Failed to extract metadata information to temporary directory /var/log/tmp/metadata_esdKo0". What can be source of the problem ?

My current CPUSE version is 1669.

Thanks!

I know this error - it means that something is wrong with the .tgz for CPUSE install ! For Deployment Agent, you can do the following:

- completely unpack the .tgz until you have the CPda-00-00.i386.rpm

- transfer the CPda-00-00.i386.rpm to the machine

- in CLI run: rpm -Uhv --force CPda-00-00.i386.rpm

- Kill all running Clish daemons (they will be restarted automatically):

# killall -v clish clishd

- Restart the ConfD daemon: 

# tellpm process:confd

# tellpm process:confd t

- Start the CPUSE Agent manually:

# $DADIR/bin/dastart

It helped! Thank you 😉

Yes, it surely does - somewhere on CheckMates you can still find a script i have created doing the install of the DA rpm...

I have found that also other CPUSE packages do not work when downloaded from the SK, but do work when downloaded using CPUSE. It seems that CPUSE needs a metadata file that is sometimes missing...
