30 Update 1803 for Cloud Platform System (CPS) Standard
Resolution:
Reboot the affected nodes. After you have rebooted the affected nodes, run Analyze cluster updating
readiness again. Once it is in a Passed state, you can rerun the P&U.
Issue 5
Symptoms:
NVGRE issue. The DellEMC Patch and Update framework does not bypass the “External” custom
property of any non-DHCS hardware in the stamp.
Description:
If you add non-DHCS hardware external servers to your stamp, or have a different custom property setup on
any of the existing servers, you need to set the custom property as “External” for the framework to
bypass it.
The Microsoft P&U framework bypasses anything with custom property set to “External”, but the
DellEMC framework does not. The DellEMC P&U framework runs on a variation of Microsoft’s P&U
framework, and is a different package.
Resolution:
Browse to the location where the DellEMC Patch and Update package has been extracted. Under
C:\PUShare\PU_DellEMC1803\ Subsystems\PU you can find the Test-PUHealth.ps1 script, and in
the following snippet, add the highlighted workaround:
Write-HealthLog -TelemetryInfo $TelemetryInfo -EventType
"Progress" -Message "Checking PU custom property for
'$($server.ComputerName)'."
$PUCustomPropertyValue = Get-SCCustomPropertyValue -VMMServer
$VMMServerName -CustomProperty $PUCustomProperty -InputObject $server
if($PUCustomPropertyValue -ne $null)
{
if($PUCustomPropertyValue.Value -eq "External")
{
