Description of problem: When running the RHQ server installer with command: rhqctl upgrade --from-server-dir=/opt/rhq/rhq-server.OLD I get the following in the output and rhq-storage-installer.log and the RHQ server won't start. 14:08:55,695 INFO [org.rhq.storage.installer.StorageInstaller] The storage node is not up: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused 14:08:55,696 INFO [org.rhq.storage.installer.StorageInstaller] Checking storage node status again in 12000 ms... This keeps coming until I abort the installation. Cassandra however is running and logging without exceptions. Trying to start the RHQ server I get an error about the server not being installed. [rhqadmin@d26apvl007 rhq-server]$ ./bin/rhqctl start --server 15:03:08,027 INFO [org.jboss.modules] JBoss Modules version 1.2.0.CR1 15:03:08,265 WARN [org.rhq.server.control.command.Start] It appears that the server is not installed. The --server option will be ignored. [rhqadmin@d26apvl007 rhq-server]$ ./bin/rhqctl status 15:03:45,388 INFO [org.jboss.modules] JBoss Modules version 1.2.0.CR1 RHQ Storage Node (pid 10592 ) IS running Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHQ Server 4.9 final Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.4 (Santiago) Linux d26apvl007.test.local 2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 17 15:54:20 EDT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How reproducible: Reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. Back up old installation to rhq-server.old 2. Do needed edits in rhq-server.properties 3. Run command rhqctl upgrade --from-server-dir=/opt/rhq/rhq-server.OLD Actual results: Cassandra is started but installer cannot contact it, and fails. Expected results: Expect that installer also installs the RHQ-server. Additional info: Upgrading from RHQ 4.9 SNAPSHOT, might be relevant After it failed the first time, I decided I wanted to try starting with a "clean slate" so removed the RHQ storage data directory, mapped to /opt/rhq/rhq-storage. This was after running the "rhq48-storage-patch".

I am setting this to Closed as I was able to get 4.9 running using a clean Install instead of Update. Not sure as to the cause and not able to replicate not that 4.9 is up.
