Resolution

On Windows

1. Uninstall version 5 of Dollar Universe via the Add / Remove Programs on Windows
   If uninstall doesn't work properly, delete all dollar universe V5 folders manually (use the following documentation to check which folders need to be kept or deleted:Dollar Universe upgrade manual page 63
2. Remove all the Dollar Universe V5 Windows Services with the following command:

sc delete name_of_the_service

3.  Load the v6 environment:

unienv.bat

4. Stop the v6:

unistop

5. Launch the commands below:

%UNI_DIR_EXEC%\unisetvar -unset U_UPGRADE_STEP (this removes the U_UPGRADE_STEP line in values.xml file)
%UNI_DIR_EXEC%\unims -msg upgrade commit success (to remove the "commit at next start up" status in UVMS )

6. Kill all the processes uniactions.exe and unims.exe that are running on the Windows server
7. Remove the files /data/exp/restart_actions.next and/or /data/exp/restart_actions (if it exists. This one is usually deleted when uniaction.exe is killed.)
8. Start dollar universe via the unistart command.
9. Check node status in UVMS

On Unix/Linux

1. Stop both version 5 and version 6 of Dollar Universe
2. Check via ps -ef | grep ux and ps -ef | grep uni that no process unims or uniactions are running, if so, kill those processes.
3. Remove the v5 folders manually (use the Dollar Universe upgrade manual page 63 to check which folders need to be kept or deleted)
4. Launch the commands below after having loaded DUAS v6 environment:

${UNI_DIR_EXEC}/unisetvar -unset U_UPGRADE_STEP (this removes the U_UPGRADE_STEP line in values.xml file)
${UNI_DIR_EXEC}/unims -msg upgrade commit success (to remove the "commit at next start up" Upgrade Status in UVMS)

5. Remove files /data/exp/restart_actions.next and/or /data/exp/restart_actions (if they still exist)
6. Start Dollar Universe 6 via the unistart command.
7. Check node status in UVMS

After following this procedure, your node should be committed properly and you will be able to auto-patch the node in case a more recent version is needed.
