NSM schema 162 for NSMXpress Obstructed update (failed to add directory): object already exists.

[stine]

I just tried to update the schema in my NSMXpress (ver: 2010.4) from schema 160 to 162.  It failed with the following error.   I know enough about Redhat to log in an remove the directory, but I don't know if that will cause anything else to break, and I'd rather not re-install the server again.     Has anyone seen this, and if so, is there a non-re-install solution?

Thanks.

Error Code:

I would suggest renaming the directory

/usr/netscreen/GuiSvr/var/dmi-schema-stage/nsm/

as 

/usr/netscreen/GuiSvr/var/dmi-schema-stage/nsm.bak

and then trying an update.

Thanks,

I renamed the nsm folder to nsm.bak, stopped and restarted the three servers (HA, GUI, DEV) Now I can't run an update because the updater has no config.

Something else seems to be broken on your env.

Usualy, when we do that, the new download that occurs will be written onto the the staging directory.

That said, I would look thorugh the /usr/netscreen/GuiSvr/var/errorLog/gproGDM.log file right after you attempt the schema update to see the details of what the reason for the error is.

I think I'm going to reimage the NSM and start over. If I run into the same problem again, i'll open a JTAC case. Thanks.
