i have try to use command on shell giv me error like this

Code: 
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem

File descriptor 3 (pipe:[25136]) leaked on vgs invocation. Parent PID 9844: grub-install.real
File descriptor 3 (pipe:[25136]) leaked on vgs invocation. Parent PID 9844: grub-install.real


"E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." I have tried the "dpkg --configure -a" then I get the following and the server goes offline.

hope someone has a solution for this

Did you try running the command that APT suggested?

do either of you have access to a console (serial or IPMI or a monitor, for example)? it would be interesting to see what else potentially gets printed or how the server "goes offline". this is very unexpected to say the least!

could you also try just running "grub-install -v" and if that reproduces the issue, post its output here?
 
I was running updates this morning. Noticed the warning on the first host I was upgrading... I didn't follow APT's recommendation, however, I did do a update-grub before a reboot. System came back up without issue. As long as my system boots, I won't be running anything additional until this issue is addressed! lol

you should still run the command it lists, but you don't seem to have the issue the other two people here in this thread have, so maybe start a new one?

Fabian,

I started the server in rescue boot mode and ran the command "grub-install -v". The server rebooted and ended up at the same state as yesterday. Please see "After reboot.jpg" I did capture the end of the shell output please see "Output2.txt"

wow, that's very strange. what kind of system is this? could you also post the output of `efibootmgr -v`? the log looks a bit like it crashes on setting the boot efi variable..
 
okay.. so let's see what grub-install is actually attempting to do when it crashes, could you run

"strace -ff grub-install -v" and catch the output (it will be a lot, but mainly the last lines will be interesting, so if you run it over SSH and copy the last few hundred lines of the backlog that would be enough)
 
Fabian, Last night I upgraded the SuperMicro BMC Firmware which controls the IPMI and ran the "grub-install -v" which resulted in the same state of the server going offline and rebooting. I updated the SuperMicro bios to version 2.6 and ran the same command this time it completed successfully. Tonight I will be performing a clean install and upgrade to the latest version to see if there are no errors from start to finish.
