So I have also faced issues during most of my DNAC upgrades I have gone through. You may want to check with your Cisco rep on whether or not you can move
from 1.2.6 to 1.2.10. Pretty sure there is a 1.2.6 patch that needs to be applied (1.1.0.659.1), then move to 1.2.8 prior to 1.2.10. Here are some very

helpful troubleshooting tips you can use:

$ sudo maglev system_updater update_info --Shows status of upgrade via CLI
$ magctl service logs -rf system-updater --Tail logs during upgrade to monitor status
$ magctl service logs -r system-updater > system_updater.log --Identify which host in your cluster failed installing host components
$ sudo journalctl -u maglev-node-updater -f --Tail updater log in real-time
$ maglev system_updater update_system 1.1.0.659.1 -f --Force an upgrade via CLI

Remember to download and install the application packages once a good upgrade has occurred prior to performing another upgrade.


When upgrading to Cisco DNA Center 1.2.10 or below, run this command as maglev SSH until it comes back “clean”, that is, empty.
watch -n 30 "magctl appstack status |  grep -v -E '([0-9]+)/\1.*Running'"
