Issue/Introduction
Found "Data migration jar is not running" on the /var/log/upgrade-coordinator/upgrade-coordinator.logs on the NSX manager nodes
Couldn't see logical-migration log files on the NSX manager nodes
Environment
NSX-T 4.1.0.2
Cause
MP fabric module was updated multiple times via API. These updates inadvertently removed the 'from-version' and 'to-version' MUB repo-list entries, which consequently caused the deletion of the corresponding directories from the other two nodes.
repo-sync was incorrectly marked as successful across all three nodes.
Resolution
Restore the NSX-T manager with the backup taken before upgrade process and continue the upgrade process again
Collect the output of the same API (GET https://<MP_IP>/api/v1/fabric/modules)
Validate that the 'repo-sync' is successful on all three nodes
Please verify that the '/repository' partition contains both the "from" and "to" version directories.
