Hi ,
I decided to upgrade our lab ovmm server from 3.4.5 to 3.5.6 today but the upgrade couldn't progress at some point when ovmm service had to stop . I even changed the ovmm.service TimeoutStopSec parameter to 15 min. Does this ring a bell for any of you ?
Thanks in advance
Koss
  • Here is the log excerpt which seemed to be an infinite loop as the service kept the stop action from succeeding .
