Unable to upgrade Panorama to 11.1.4-H1

L2 Linker

Hello,

 

i'm stuck while upgrading panorama to 11.1.4-H1, to be honest, every next release after 11.1.2-H4 (that is my current version) is showing the following errors:

 

2024/10/01 14:33:17 14:33:17 4802617 SWInstall FIN FAIL 14:33:21
Warnings:

in the logs below you see 11.1.2-h9, but it happens with every release to the 11.1.4-H1 icluded

 

i don't know how to fix this issue, i tried both on cli and gui, furthermore, 11.1.4-H1 is the version needed to fix this bug PAN-257615, which is not alllowing me to see any logs from panorama after upgrading from 10.2.8.

 

Do you have any tips?

Thank you

Hi, gents. There is a solution. You may need to help your TAC engineer so they can find the solution. Ask them to review case#: 03253466 (notes below:)

 

"I have gone through the error that you have shared. This issue is because of the old indices in the elastic search, and it can be removed by logging into the root.

Also, I have gone through the following article.

There is a workaround and there are other PAN-OS targeted fixes for this issue.

TAC was able to resolve our elastic search conflict and we are clear to upgrade. We scheduled our upgrade for 11/2. But if you need to fix the issue urgently please refence the notes above in itallic and discuss with your TAC engineer for resolution.

 

Let me know if you have any questions. Glad to provide assistance.

Do you know when it will be scheduled?

Hi, we are going through this same nightmare. Where did you find reference to the 11.1.5 version? We had to downgrade back to 11.0.4-h2 and now have no Panorama logs because elasticsearch keeps restarting in a loop.

Palo Alto has a solution for the elastic search problem, reach out to TAC, Esteban Carvajal was especially helpful, and his professionalism was top notch if you have problems with elasticsearch and logs. It turns out the problem for elastic search only arises when DOWNGRADING from 11.1.* to 11.0.*, 10.2.* or 10.1.*

 

To identify if it is the same issue preventing logs from populating in Panorama after downgrading Panorama software version, run the following command: "show system software status | match elasticsearch"

 

It will return: "Process elasticsearch running (pid: <####>)" Then run the same command again, if the pid # changes then it is the same issue described. Reach out to TAC and let them know you need them to root in to fix the elasticsearch restart loop.

Hello,

unfortunately even with 11.1.5 there's always the same error, i had to open  a tac to fix

Hi @RodyDeLaRosa ,

 

thanks for the advice.

at the end i had to raise a case too, the tac engineer logged to root and cleaned the elastic search, after that i was able to install 11.1.4-H1 version.
