Content Installation failing due to pending downloading job

Srikant — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 12:47:19 GMT

Hi Team,

I have created a script to automate some configuration with bash, its failing to install contents as downloading job not finished yet, what command can be used to wait until job finish?

request content upgrade check

request content upgrade download sync-to-peer no force yes latest

request content upgrade install commit yes sync-to-peer no disable-new-content yes force yes skip-content-validity-check yes version latest

any help appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @Srikant, when you initiate the content download, you would need to wait for the download to finish, by observing the "job ID" of the download. Here is an example, the download command gives the job ID (875), then in your script you would need to watch the job status until it moves from status:ACT (active) to status:FIN (finished), check that result was "OK", then proceed to do the install...

admin@james-vm-series-a(active)> request content upgrade download sync-to-peer no force yes latest Download job enqueued with jobid 875 875 admin@james-vm-series-a(active)> show jobs id 875 Enqueued Dequeued ID Type Status Result Completed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2021/11/03 12:32:49 12:32:49 875 Downld ACT PEND 99% Warnings: Details: admin@james-vm-series-a(active)> show jobs id 875 Enqueued Dequeued ID Type Status Result Completed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2021/11/03 12:32:49 12:32:49 875 Downld FIN OK 12:32:51 Warnings: Details:File successfully downloaded

Hope this helps

There is a ready-made playbook in Ansible here if you are interested, from a repository of other really useful Ansible playbooks.

That said, in bash, it might look something like this script?

$ ./content_install.sh Download status: ACT Download status: FIN Install status: ACT Install status: ACT Install status: ACT Install status: ACT Install status: ACT Install status: ACT Install status: ACT Install status: FIN
