Hi Jenny,

Try to run the upgrade with spectrumscale command. Perhaps it gives you more insight about what’s missing.

We are trying to manually upgrade Spectrum Scale from 5.1.2.1 to 5.1.5.1
The mmbuildgpl  completes successfully however when we run mmchconfig to bring the software up to the latest we get complaints about Elastic Storage Server and a package that is required for ESS.  Our box has no installation of ESS. Is there a way to bypass or has anyone else encountered a situation like this? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. We have combed google, look through logs, but there is not much information.
