After several hours of testing and even contact with the Astaro support, I could not success in upgrading our second ASG, which failed, as we upgraded from 7.011 to 7.101 in an HA configuration.
So here are the details and what I've done and experienced:
We have two ASG320 running in an HA configuration (erm had... since now we have just one with 7.101 and one still with 7.011 ...:rolleyes[[:)]]. The master node downloaded the patches automatically. On the day of of the planned upgrade we started the installation process. That went smooth as hoped. It installed, rebooted, installed the other one and then started the Up2date process of the slave. And there it stuck.
After waiting around 30 minutes we checked the Logfiles and found enough of this:

Ok than we tried to manually to dowlnoad the patches from the Astaro FTP and loaded em up through the WebAdmin function and started the Up2date from the WebAdmin again. But to no avail, same messages, same disappointment; no sucess whatsoever.
So we disabled the HA config, and tried to manually update it with the auisys.plx command and several flags like --nodeps and --force... When I use the --force flag I have the success that the RPM prechecks are OK (which is somehow stupid, since without the "force" it fails... and stops the command completely), but the installtion of the majority of the rpm packages gave the FAILED status which concluded in the stop of the whole procedure with error code 10...
So I am at loss what to do... I don't want to totally install from scratch... and since we have no fallback solution right now the case is pressing for action...
Any ideas what I should do?
