Regarding Updatedb Error and rerun

Question

Working on Maximo MAS Upgrade from version 8.11( Manage 8.7) to 9.0 followed by 9.1. It all went fine till 9.0. but while upgrading to 9.1 manage update db completed with error still maxinst started the app. Also MANAGEUPG mxvar still showing 9.0.0 and MAXUPG to 9.1.x. There are some inconsistencies in db though app is up and running. We are not having intermediate db backup of 9.0. Can we restore db backup to 8.x version and run the updatedb for clean update from current 9.1 as I can see DBCs from old versions available?

Answer

From a supported perspective, no. You can only update a single MAS version at a time. And if your update to 9.0 was successful, with the update to 9.1 failing, you are better off trying to get the 9.0 to 9.1 update to succeed. It's hard without more details but I would put the server mode off to stop the application pods and get the maxinst pod to re-run the updatedb. If you delete the maxinst pod while the application pods are stopped it should kick off the updatedb again to work through those issues.
