MiVB 9.0 Upgrade Issue

Hi All,

I have been away from working on Mitel's for a while and had to do an upgrade over the weekend from 7.0 SP1 PR1 to 9.0 SP2 but encountered an issue whereby the Migration tool never got past the Migrating Bootloader step, it simply says "In Progress"

The system audit & db backup passed with no issues. I did try twice but got the same result so aborted the upgrade to 9.0 SP2 and got them to 8.0 SP3 whilst I figure out what went wrong.

This morning I have got a 3300 out of our stores and have attempted to upgrade from 8.0 SP3 to 9.0 SP2 and I get the exact same issue so there is clearly something wrong on my laptop.

Have any of you guys had any similar issues? I haven't yet attempted to install manually as I would prefer to find out why the migration tool is not working as expected.

Thanks
 
Assuming Physical

what hardware is it

If I never did anything I'd never done before , I'd never do anything.....

 

I should have included the hardware type!

MXeIII with 1Gb RAM and RAID with 2x HDD
 
How long did you wait?

The upgrade to 9.0 takes hours and it sometimes seems like nothing is happening.
 
@sarond

The migration tool was at the 3rd step Migrating Bootloader for almost 2 hours before I cancelled it and gave up. The audit and DB backup steps completed fairly quickly.

The system was still up and operational and nothing was happening on the console.
 
The transfer of the bootloader files takes only minutes. I would make sure you don't have any firewalls blocking FTP between you and the controller.
 
Disable your Firewall completely on your connecting PC and connect straight to the front of the controller. That section literally takes less than 2 minutes. I upgraded a few from a Windows 10 and Windows 7 machine! On a physical controller its normally around 1.5Hours (depending on the size of the databases controller I have compelted are MxeIII and a CXiII) from start to finish on the Log View timer that is ticking upwards.
Have you got a RS232 serial plugged in to the front as well incase it provdes more info?
 
FYI

This was taken from an upgrade to v9.0SP2 on a Cxi-II. There is a section where the licencing failed as it was disconencted from the network, therefore I licenced it offline for the time being as I had done that initially!

LOG VIEW BELOW continued after the backup section (I have altered the AMC Records for obvious reasons)

Thanks for the replys guys.

I have finally had time to look into this today and got the upgrade to work on my lab 3300.

The cause? I had created a repository in the following location on my machine, C:\Program Files (x86)\Mitel\MiVoice Business Repository and this location contained a folder called 9.0.2.16 this was simply the extracted files from the download site which is where I pointed the migration tool to.

For some reason the migration just would not happen so I pointed the migration tool to the extracted folder in my download directory and voila upgrade worked first time.

No idea why it did not like the repository location I created? But thought I would post my findings just in case anyone else has a similar issue. (Unlikely but you never know)
