Synopsis
This article describes an issue where the vWAF will not start after upgrading from vTM 11.1 to 17.1.
Problem or Goal
If a traffic manager running vTM version 11.1 has upgraded vWAF manually to a version higher than 4.9-41260, the vWAF will refuse to start after upgrading to vTM 17.1.

When rebooting after the upgrade, the error log will show:
SERIOUS appfirewallcontrolerror Error restarting application firewall: 
service.sh stingrayafm stop failed: Usage: service PRODUCT start|stop|restart|status
Error: version for stingrayafm is invalid
SERIOUS appfirewallfailed       All application firewall decider processes have failed
SERIOUS appfirewalldeciderfail  Application firewall decider process running on 
127.0.0.1:14000 has failed
SERIOUS appfirewallfailed       All application firewall decider processes have failed

If vTM 11.1 was upgraded to vWAF 4.9-41849, the directory /logs/stingrayafm/stingrayafm-17.1 will show:

Cause
Solution
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods:

Method 1: vWAF and WAF updater were both upgraded

  • Download the hotfix attached "Generic-17.1-vWAF_11.1_upgrade.tgz".
  • In the Traffic Manager UI go to  System > Traffic Managers > Upgrade and upload the file.
 

Method 2: WAF was only upgraded

Copy the directory from the 11.1 folder:
[email protected]:# cd /logs/stingrayafm/stingrayafm-11.1

[email protected]:/logs/stingrayafm/stingrayafm-11.1# ls
4.9-40393  
4.9-41849  
current  
default_version.id  
generic  
migrate.sh  
service.sh  
version.id

[email protected]:/logs/stingrayafm/stingrayafm-11.1# cp -R 4.9-41849 
/logs/stingrayafm/stingrayafm-17.1/
