Bug ID 1042845: Unable to remove platform services versions that appear unused

Last Modified: May 29, 2024

Affected Product(s):
F5OS Velos(all modules)

Fixed In:
F5OS-C 1.3.0, F5OS-C 1.2.1, F5OS-C 1.1.4

Opened: Aug 25, 2021

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

Under certain circumstances, a version of controller or partition services might appear "not in use" in CLI/webUI tables, but removal of that version is still blocked because other parts of the service package are still in use by other system components.

Impact

Unable to remove versions of software that appear unused, and the cause is unclear.

Conditions

1. Attempt to remove an (apparently CLI) version of controller or partition services via ConfD or webUI. 2. Other components on the system still silently depend on that version of services, even though CLI/webUI output does not reflect this.

Workaround

N/A

Fix Information

Removal of platform services that appear "unused" is no longer blocked by hidden higher-level component dependencies.
