Dynamic Update Fails with Image File Authentication Error Message

116347
Created On 09/25/18 19:38 PM - Last Modified 11/07/23 02:00 AM


Symptom


Issue

Dynamic Updates fail with the following error message: "content update failed with the following messages: Image File Authentication Error Failed to extract rpm file /opt/pancfg/mgmt/content-images/tmp/panupv2-all-contents-313-1422.tgz".

 

Manually installing the update package will also result in the same error.



Resolution


 

 

Resolution

There are 3 different ways to resolve this issue. 

 

Solution 1 - Change update server

If you are using staticupdates.paloaltonetworks.com and running on PAN-OS 7.1.7, you need to change your update server

Inside of the WebGUI, Device > Setup > Services, change the update server from staticupdates.paloaltonetworks.com to updates.paloaltonetworks.com as a workaround.


Note:  Please be sure to ensure that you are not limiting the device via a security rule to access just the IP address of staticupdates.paloaltonetworks.com - 199.167.52.15 (to be used for connectivity troubleshooting only), If so, you will have to adjust to the new IP/URL:

updates.paloaltonetworks.com - 199.167.52.141 , commit and test.

Solution 2 - Remove updates and redownload them

Removing all the content updates and re-downloading them can also solve this issue.

You can perform this step via the WebGUI inside Device > Dynamic Updates 

Delete the updates through the GUI and see if you can run a "check now" and that it downloads the new update.  Then perform the commit and see if it completes without errors.

Via the CLI, please try deleting the content package with the below command and re-download and commit:

 

admin@myNGFW> delete content update 
  <value>  Filename

 

Solution 3 - Reinstall OS

As a last step, if the 2 other solutions do not help, then you can reinstall PAN-OS on the device.

To reinstall PAN-OS, follow the steps below:

  1. Backup the current configuration.
    Refer to Step 1 in the following document: How to Save an Entire Configuration for Import into Another Palo Alto Networks Device
  2. Reinstall the software, go to Device > Software and choose the desired PAN-OS version, and click Reinstall under Action:
    reinstall software.png
  3. Reboot the device.
  4. Check and Install latest Dynamic Update.
