"17FileNotFoundError" - Deploying TL/SP Upgrades

Attempting to upgrade a test host from 6100-07-04-1216 to 6100-09-07, receiving this error when starting the fixlet:

Download error: “Error processing completed download: File error “17FileNotFoundError” on “/var/opt/BESServer/wwwrootbes/bfmirror/downloads/ActiveDownloads/indexed_71_1” : “Error 0x2%: No such file or directory””

I’m assuming that this file/directory should have been created by the application itself, as I haven’t made any manual changes to its parent directories. Can anyone comment on this?

The permission on the directory are as follows:

[root@bigfix ~]# ls -la /var/opt/BESServer/wwwrootbes/bfmirror/downloads/ActiveDownloads/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root  6 Aug 18 14:14 .
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 39 Jul 21 09:43 ..
[root@bigfix ~]# ls -ld /var/opt/BESServer/wwwrootbes/bfmirror/downloads/ActiveDownloads/
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 6 Aug 18 14:14 /var/opt/BESServer/wwwrootbes/bfmirror/downloads/ActiveDownloads/

Logs don’t mention much, aside from:

[root@bigfix logs]# cat AIXPlugin_2016-8-18_14-24-36.log

I’m quite confident our network isn’t capable of downloading about 9GB of files in three seconds. Has anyone else run into this issue, or something similar?

Thanks!

Did you ever figure out an answer for this? Did the error clear itself out? I just found the same error on the same aixpatches site.

I have not. I do have a PMR open with IBM and am working on a solution; currently, this issue is being treated as a bug report rather than an installation misconfiguration. I will post the results this issue is solved.

Please would you let us know the latest status on this issue - I am also experiencing the same.

Was there ever a solution provided for this error?
