27 Update 1803 for Cloud Platform System (CPS) Standard
Issue 2
Symptoms:
Exclude external host from P&U.
Description:
If you have added a physical host to VMM that is not part of the CPS Standard stamp—in this case the stamp
includes backup infrastructure—you must exclude the host from P&U. If you do not, P&U will fail.
Detection:
The P&U process fails after adding a physical host to VMM that is not part of the CPS Standard stamp.
Resolution:
To exclude an external host from P&U:
1. In the VMM Console, open the Fabric workspace.
2. Under Servers, click All Hosts.
3. In the Hosts pane, right-click the external host, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Custom Properties tab.
5. In the PU custom property box, type External, and then click OK.
With this entry, P&U will skip the external host. You are responsible for updating any external servers outside
of P&U.
Issue 3
Symptoms:
The P&U process updates the console, including reboots, but does not finish final P&U processing.
Description:
This can include examining the Deployment Manifest and running compliance checks.
Detection:
Run the following script (updating the $prefix variable before running with the prefix of your stamp):
$prefix = "<Prefix>"
(Get-SmaVariable -WebServiceEndpoint ("https://{0}APA01" -f $prefix) -Name
PUSubsystemVersions).Value
