Symptoms

As a part of this bug fix: We are not allowing webUI banner text and color detail when webUI banner is disabled. We are only allowing to configure/show webUI banner test and color when webUI banner is enabled. After this fix, We have some upgrade compatibility issue from 1.6.0-A to 1.7.0-A, 1.6.0-C to 1.8.0-C and 1.7.0-C to 1.8.0-C (or latest). If we enable webUI banner without providing values for color and text in 1.6.0-A/C and 1.7.0-C build and if we upgrade to latest version(1.7.0-A build and 1.8.0-C) from 1.6.0-A/C and 1.7.0-C where we cannot enable banner without text, upgrade will fail with compatibility issue.

Impact

We will not be able to upgrade from 1.6.0-A to 1.7.0-A, 1.6.0-C to 1.8.0-C, and 1.7.0-C to 1.8.0-C with webUI banner enabled and color and text fields empty.

Conditions

If webUI banner is enabled without text and color details then upgrade from 1.6.0-A to 1.7.0-A, 1.6.0-C to 1.8.0-C and 1.7.0-C to 1.8.0-C will fail with compatibility error.

Workaround

Either disable the webUI banner or enable the webUI banner with color and text fields.

Fix Information
