RPA went to Unknown State after upgrade
Hi Friends,
After Upgrading RPA from 3.5 SP1 to 4.1 Version through CLI, all the RPAs went into unknown state.I don't the exact cause for that .
RecoverPoint/SE
Site:
Site1:
RPAs: 3 unknowns
Volumes: 1 unknowns
Splitters: 2 unknowns
Site2:
RPAs: 2 errors 1 warnings 2 unknowns
Volumes: 770 unknowns
Splitters: 4 errors 2 warnings 2 unknowns
WAN: 1 errors
System: 1 errors
Run 'get_system_status' for more info
Note : It was upgraded manually through CLI not via Deployment manager.
Thanks
Saran

I would seriously consider reinstalling as there also looks to be RP/SE object corruption. RP/SE has to be installed using DM, therefore your manual CLI attempt to upgrade has broken several elements of this.

I didn't get the meaning for Re-installing does that mean do i need to upgrade the code again?
Thanks

No idea why the Cluster has another internal cluster created?

You definitely don't want to use a manual CLI upgrade procedure for RP/SE installations. It simply doesn't work. Even if you choose to use the manual method for a EX or CLI RP system it does not provide an NDU process. Therefore, DM is the correct tool to use for all upgrades.

This is how the Config looks like now
|------------------------------------------|
| Cluster Site2 |
|------------------------------------------|
| Internal cluster name | 0xb83ef28 |
| Time zone | America/New_York |
| Primary DNS server | 10.227.171.x |
| Secondary DNS server | 10.227.171.x |
| Primary NTP server | |
| Secondary NTP servers | |
| Local domain | |
|-----------------------|------------------|
In Cluster 0xb83ef28, SP cannot see RPA2. Verify that zoning is configured so that SP can see all RPAs at the relevant site. ; SunGard ;
dont know what would be the next step?
Thanks

Hi Saran,
The CLI method of upgrading is not supported because it is not capable of facilitating an NDU upgrade. The error messages would imply to me that the RP system no longer has correct visibility of the repository volume(s).
