The local or downloaded package couldn't be validated. Invalid Package.

VRMware,

I would be happy to look into it for you, but would you confirm the device you are trying to push the update to, as well as what specific update are you trying to push?

Let me know and we can go from there.

@DELL-Chris H ​ I upgrade iDRAC, Bios, Network Drivers, etc. After that the fw upgrade job failed I restart the job and after several attempts, it goes well. It took me almost 2 working day to upgrade the fw of a few servers. But what is causing this issue?

@jtauke_isu​ If I restart a failed job it finally works after several attempts but this is not how it should be working. I want to know what is causing this issue.

Dear Support Team,

We have the same issue in our environment. We tried to update several ESXi systems using the OMEVV plugin and a Dell OpenManage Enterprise server. Nearly all firmware updates failed during the first run.

Luckily, only the BIOS update from 1.15.2 to 1.16.2 and the iDRAC update from 7.10.90.00 to 7.20.10.05 are missing, and we decided to skip those updates for the moment.

Nevertheless, it’s horrible to have a non-working solution which is designed for enterprise environments. Like VRMware I am also interested in a solution...

A Colleague just told me that he also experienced the same problems yesterday. He contacted Dell Support yesterday and there seem to be issues with the load balancer since last week.

Same problem here. OME Version 4.3.1 (Build 12).

I'm not using OMEVV, but the OME web interface directly. Some updates are failing, some are working. Sometimes it works at the 2nd attempt, sometimes it takes 8 attempts or so. bad.

The overall error "The local or downloaded package couldn't be validated. Invalid Package." might be preceded by the error "There was an error downloading one or more packages from the specified repository. Trying to download the package(s) from dell.com".

Even better: I had to restart the same job (containing one update for two hosts) several times because it always failed. Eventually it worked, but I accidentally clicked 'restart' again, and the job FAILED with the same stupid error message again!

Another job I had to restart thrice had the preceding error "There was an error downloading one or more packages from the specified repository" - BUT was successful on the devices (overall job status: successful).

Any update in regards to this? still having issues. 

Only took me 8 attempts to kick off an update....

@ShaneRH I feel you bro. But I beat you with "only" 7 attemps:

​

@vmjoe​ Ahhh, Depends which way we are looking at it! My other hosts done it with only 1 or 2 failures :P 

Shame on you Dell for not answering, not fixing the problem which seems to be on your (server) side.

I've updated OME to the latest version 4.3.2 (Build 49) yesterday, same problems, it has nothing to do with the appliance version.

Also shame on you Dell for the ridiculous short session time-out here in the forum... logging in after 30 (?) minutes is sooo fun! And makes the forum sooo secure, yeah!

Hello, we are noticing an issue with the downloads site reported by some customers. Options are to retry the download until it works, wait a couple of days for the load balancer issues with resolve.

Thanks for your patience.
