Environment

SEPM 14.0x

Windows Server 2012

Cause

During upgrade, the issue occur when adding the IPv6 range hosts in the firewall rule with host list.
It is expecting there is at least one in "Local/Remote".
Invalid size of the Host container in the Remote Host of the firewall rule.

Resolution

This issue is fixed in Symantec Endpoint Protection 14.2 RU1 MP1. For information on how to obtain the latest build of Symantec Endpoint Protection, see Download the latest version of Symantec software here.”

We have the following workarounds as well:
1) Locate the rule in firewall policy with IPv6 range hosts in firewall policy, edit the Host list and change the radio button to "Local/Remote". Then, immediately run the upgrade. Revert back to "Source/Destination" immediately after upgrade.
2) Delete that rule before upgrade.
