Issue
Upgrading to SP1 on the RSA Authentication Manager 8.2 fails at the RADIUS configuration step and the rollback fails as well.The server becomes completely unusable.

The Update-8.2.1 log file (available from the Operations Console under Maintenance > Update & Rollback by clicking on the View Details link), shows the following errors:

Configuration step RadiusOCConfig.configureActualRADIUSServerUpgrade [FAILED] and "com.rsa.authmgr.radius.exception.RadiusSystemException: Unable to connect to RADIUS server within the given timeout".

The RADIUS date.log, located in /opt/rsa/am/radius and named in the format of yyyymmdd.log (e. g., 20180119.log) shows the following errors:

10/08/2017 06:48:37 Failure encountered in attempt to read IP address for RAS client abc-xxS323.xyz.abs.com from the database ​rsaadmin@phx-rsaprm-001:/opt/rsa/am/radius>
Cause
The upgrade fails because the installation script fails to find the IP address of a RADIUS client. The RADIUS client is configured without an IP address in the Authentication Manager database.
Resolution
  1. Gather the RADIUS date.log file by either:
    1. From the Operations Console select Administration > Download Troubleshooting  Files.
      1. Under Select Items, choose Authentication Manager log files and define a date range, ensuring it includes the date the upgrade was  attempted.
      2. Create a password and confirm it. 
      3. Click Generate and  Download Zip file.
      4. Using the password, open the .zip file then extract the RADIUS date.log.
    2. Open an SSH session or direct connection to the Authentication Manager server, navigate to /opt/rsa/am/radius.
    3. Locate the RADIUS date.log from the date the upgrade was attempted and open with vi or using WInSCP, copy it to your local machine.
  2. Open the RADIUS date.log file.
  3. Look for the error that suggests that the upgrade is failing to get the IP address of the RADIUS client:
Failure encountered in attempt to read IP address for RAS client xxS323.xyz.abs.com from the database.
  1. Restore the Authentication Manager 8.2 server from a snapshot.
  2. Log on to Security Console.
  3. Navigate to RADIUS > RADIUS Clients > Manage Existing.
  4. Search for the RADIUS client that appeared in the RADIUS date.log from step 3.
  5. Click on the context arrow and select Edit.
  6. You will notice that the IP address field is blank. Add the valid IP address for RADIUS client and click Save.
  7. Take a snapshot of the server.
  8. Perform the SP1 upgrade in the Operations Console. This time the upgrade will be successful.
