Upgrade to 2020.2.5 failed with Container storage is not initialized on Additonal Web Server

I tried bumping SWIS timeouts with no success

This is what I got from support, Solution 2 worked for me

Solution 1:

1. Stop all the Solarwinds services.

2. Browse to the Orion installation path. By default,
C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\

3. Make a copy of ConfigurationWizard.exe.config and save it on another location.(Outside of the Orion installation path).

4. Edit the file ConfigurationWizard.exe.config in notepad.
 

5. Look for <add key="SWISMaxWaitingTime" value="00:01:30"/> 
      Change its value to 3 minutes: <add key="SWISMaxWaitingTime" value="00:03:00"/> 
    
6. Save the config file and re-run the Configuration wizard.

Solution 2.

1. Follow same steps 1 to 4 from Solution 1.

2. Edit SWIS container query retry wait and retries, e.g.
<add key="SWISContainerQueryRetryWait" value="00:00:20"/>
<add key="SWISContainerQueryRetries" value="10"/>
<add key="SWISContainerQueryTimeout" value="00:00:20"/>

Also, make sure SWIS maximum waiting time still stays at
<add key="SWISMaxWaitingTime" value="00:03:00"/>
 

3. Save the config file and re-run the Configuration wizard.

Jonathan, just wanted you to know that worked.

I had changed the Container timeout values to 3 minutes, and was unsuccessful.
Setting the values exactly as you listed worked like a charm.
