VSX 8000 stuck in software update

[vtcnoob69]

Somehow a VSX 8000 thinks that it was given a request to update the software. The system is at a remote site. I can ping the system but I cannot get into the web interface to tell it to stop the update. How do I get the system to stop the update?

I believe I have resolved my own issue by using the VSX Software update from a pc to push the update to it. I had the customer remove power from the system and it is no longer trying to update.

How could this have happened? How can I prevent it from happening again?

I downloaded the error log but it is only filled with a strange y character. So my problem has changed. I'll begin searching for messages with this problem. If I do not find one I'll start a new one with a subject matching the problem.

Did you ever get an answer on this?

I have (5) VSX8000 units.  They each come up with this unpassable Software Update.exe request.  It happens randomly about once a month or so.  

We are on the latest update available to us so I can’t simply run an update to get it to go away.  That shouldn’t  be necessary anyway.  Something in the VSX is causing this prompt to happen.  Someone should know how to turn it off.

The only way to get around this so far is by  power cycling the units multiple times and crossing my finders. Sometimes it can take 5 reboots until it goes away.  I cant seem to find anyone with an answer on this.  Not even our reseller.  It’s a real mess.
