Issue | A customer is attempting to run the nw-setup-tui command to enable a NodeX appliance (decoder, concentrator, esa, etc.) that is currently imaged to 11.3.0.2 while their User Interface server (Node0) is currently at 11.3.1.1 or above. The nw-setup-tui enablement process fails during the bootstrap operation on the NodeX appliance. The orchestration server log file, /var/log/netwitness/orchestration-server/orchestration-server.log, contains the following log entries.
The above entries can also be seen on the console during the bootstrap process. The image below contains the console bootstrap output. ![]() |
Cause | The cause of this issue is due to 11.3.0.2 being released as a USB/DVD ISO only, a replacement for the 11.3.0.0 USB/DVD ISO, and not as an upgrade zip package like other versions such as 11.3.0.1, 11.3.1.0, 11.3.1.1, etc. As such the 11.3.0.2 RPM packages are not currently installed in the UI (Node0) server's software repository and it is not possible to download the required packages from RSA Link. |
Resolution | To resolve this issue and allow your 11.3.1.x UI (Node0) server to enable the 11.3.0.2 appliances (NodeX) follow the steps below. Note: The USB/DVD ISO image must be used because the required packages are not directly accessible from the USB build stick. Note: The following process is only required to be done once on the UI (Node0) server to create the required repository.
