APM upgrades fail if the /shared/apm directory is not present before you load the configuration. APM writes a configuration loading error to the /var/log/ltm file with content similar to this: Oct 25 08:42:11 localhost notice mcpd[6311]: 0107165d:5: copy_file: EPSEC::In copy_file - src (/config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/epsec_package_d/:Common:EPSEC:Images:epsec-1.0.0-160.0.iso_14866_1) dst (/shared/apm/images/epsec-1.0.0-160.0.iso) Oct 25 08:42:11 localhost notice mcpd[6311]: 0107165d:5: copy_file: Failed in file copy errno=(No such file or directory) .... 01071558:3: EPSEC - File Copy to /shared location failed Unexpected Error: Loading configuration process failed.
After booting into an upgraded system, the configuration will fail to load. A load failure can also be observed when manually loading a UCS file.
If the system is fresh from manufacturing or has had a recent formatting installation, it is vulnerable to this upgrade defect. The failure is only observed if the configuration being applied contains elements of APM.
Create the directory /shared/apm and try to load the configuration again.
Releases with this fix will load the configuration properly. There is no need for users to first create the /shared/apm directory.
