Issue/Introduction

When trying to upgrade spectrum using sdclinux.exe, the install fails with the following error:

hostname: Creating installation log: LOGS_20250924/hostname.12.47
hostname: Starting installation
hostname: Landscape handle must be 64 - 16256, multiples of 64 (or 0x1000000 - 0xfe000000 with low 24 bits 0).
hostname: Installation complete

Install Summary:
hostname: Installation failure

Environment

DX NetOps Spectrum: All versions

Cause

The customer was migrating a database that had a legacy landscape handle but had included "huge_landscape_handle=yes" in the host installation information file.

Resolution

Change the "huge_landscape_handle=yes" to "huge_landscape_handle=no" in the host installation information(HII) file and re-run the install.
