Issue with Upgrade Splunk Enterprise from 7.0.3 to 7.2.3

[AKG1_old1]

Hi, I have tried upgrading Splunk Enterprise 7.0.3 to latest 7.2.3 and getting below errors.

ERROR: [App Key Value Store migration] Service(36) terminated before the service availability check could complete. Exit code 48, waited for 0 seconds. [App Key Value Store migration] Checking if migration is needed. Upgrade type 1. This can take up to 600 seconds. ERROR while running mongod-fix-voting-priority migration.

does any one tried upgrading latest version and encounter such issue ?

This appears related and is apparently fixed in 7.2.4: "SPL-162469, SPL-163577, SPL-162764 After upgrade to 7.2 Splunk is unable to start - KVStoreConfigurationThread crash".

See the "Unsorted Issues" section:

Any other ERROR message ? Worth to look at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.3/Admin/TroubleshootKVstore#KV_store_migration_mess...

Thanks I ll have a look. No other error. Installation gets terminated after this error.

I have downgraded to 7.2.2 and it worked fine.

There is cron related bug in 7.2.2 so not good idea to run on 7.2.2, better to upgrade to 7.2.3

2018-12-21  SPL-164242, SPL-164210  A search scheduled to run monthly or weekly may run daily. "Next Scheduled Time" is incorrect due to cron parsing issue

Thanks for pointing out. I'll check if there is any impact for us.

Did this fix your issue?

@SloshBurch : we haven't upgraded to 7.2.2 or 7.2.3. There are some other issues with these version. finally we have upgraded to 7.1.6 which is more stable.

Ok thanks for the update. But I assume this issue is not present on 7.1.6 at least.
