Dell SCG Unable to upgrade from GUI - 5.16 to 5.18
i keep getting this error while updating using the GUI.
"We couldn't finish downloading your gateway update. Check your network connection and try again."
Unfortunately, the download does not work after a fresh reboot either. I have created a snapshot before.
Thanks & many greetings

Hello Michael,
Could you try FireFox and check your results?
Are you using the Application or Virtual Appliance version of SCG?

Hello Charles,
thank you very much for your answer.
Unfortunately I have the same situation with Firefox ;(
We have the Virtual Appliance in use.
many greetings

Hello Martin,
that doesn't sound like a practical solution. Is there no other chance?
Thanks & many greetings

Hello Charles,
I have already tried the restart, unfortunately also without success. The network requirements are met and I can also see in the central network logs that about 300 MB have been downloaded.
many greetings

Hello Charles,
thank you very much for your feedback.
The sentence "I have seen this on a couple cases." convinced me and I sacrificed the time and reinstalled. This will save me the additional time I spend with support and potentially in a remote session.
However, I am not very happy with the esrs/scg having recurring problems with updates over the last 5 to 8 years. In this process I would like to see more reliability from DELL.
I had double checked the network configuration before and ruled it out as a source of error.
Now the SCG runs in any case in the version 5.18 ;)
many greetings & a nice weekend
Michael

For anyone still encountering this issue, you should try the fix that is provided here (need to login to view):
Secure Connect Gateway (SCG): Gateways previously upgraded from SRS 3.52 directly to 5.16 fail to update to a later version | Dell US
The tl;dr version is there's a missing mount that's required for the upgrade. If you've already attempted the upgrade, you'll also need to follow these steps to essentially clear the GW MTF sessions and reset the download attempt:
https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/secure-connect-gateway/dell-scg-unable-to-upgrade-from-gui-512-to-516/64a3fb8bf4ccf8a8de9fa6f6?commentId=64a3fbadf4ccf8a8dea3733b
Once this is complete and the patch is applied to the SCG server, the upgrade should complete (I needed to do this on a few SCG deployments).

I know this is an old thread, but posting here for anybody searching...
This bug bites me with every SCG upgrade since forever. Here's how I deal with it.
Log into the console as root. This time I'm trying to upgrade to 5.24.x from 5.22.x. Notice that in the listing below there is no 5.24 directory, even though I have tried the install multiple times.
AT this point I run the commands referenced in the previous post.
Now back to the web interface and try the update. It will fail to download again. After a few more failures though, I see a 5.24 directory (below), and the size of the directory is increasing with each failure. After maybe twenty to fifty attempts SCG reports success, and I can proceed with the upgrade.

@Benmgr
Thanks for your tip! We're trying the same thing at the moment. We have the same error as you.
I may have found an error in one of your command lines.
The second command "pgsql -U postgres -d vapp" is wrong. It should be "psql". At least that's how it worked for us.
We are just about to start the update again. Let's see how many attempts we need!

This process also allowed me to update to 5.24 althought I also had to reboot the system once before it would download successfully.
