Description
I am trying to test the mender OS OTA update with my Hyper V machine from the Ubuntu 20.04 live server to the Ubuntu 22.04 live server. For this, I am following the Approach following. Even when I am rolling out the OS OTA update from the mender platform it’s failing.
Prerequisite for Mender for Partition

Need some solution.
Hi @AkshatVyas,
Does the receiving device have full Mender integration, e.g. bootloader integration and A/B layout? Otherwise, the rootfs update functionality is obviously not supported.

Hi @TheYoctoJester ,
Yes, it is not integrated properly. Need some info like how can perform the integration between the bootloader and A/B layout.
Thanks

Hi @AkshatVyas,
In order for system updates to work, the initial operating system image need to be Mender-enabled. For Debian derivates, the essential process is to use mender-convert on it. More details are documented here

Hi @TheYoctoJester,
I have followed the same approach that you have shared for artifact generation. One doubt I have like we have to set up this mender-convert and we have to execute it on the host machine or on some other Ubuntu machine as I have some memory constraints.
Also I trying to upgrade a Hyper V virtual machine from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 22.04 using Mender. But In some articles, I read like it is impossible
sudo journalctl -u mener-client -f
Thanks

Hi team,
I have integrated the bootloader with the partition of the host device. Also, I was able to roll out the update, but it was a success from the mender platform and it is not showing any changes in the device level. But it is showing the artifact when I am executing the sudo mender show-artifact.
