Server upgrade fails with ANRI1055E and Windows Microsoft return code 1618

Troubleshooting


Problem

Upgrading the Tivoli Storage Manager or IBM Spectrum Protect Server to an higher version may end with ANRI1055E because of a failure during uninstallation of the device driver.

Resolving The Problem

Perform the following steps in order to fix the problem:

- re-extract the IBM Spectrum Protect Server fixpack (for example "7.1.4.100-TIV-TSMSRV-WIN.exe") to an empty directory

- check the Windows Task Manager for any other processes running an MSI install ( msiexec.exe ). If any, stop these before start the upgrade/install again

- start the install by double clicking on the install.bat file in that new directory
