PSConfig inplace upgrade - Failed to start service SearchServiceInstance

Question

I had some free time on my hands lately, so I decided to fix some of issues in Health Analyzer. I decided on fixing database need to be upgraded error.

I ran following command:

psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures

Which successfully finished first four configuration steps. However, when It got to "Upgrading SharePointProducts" script had displayed following error:

10.00% : Failed to start service SearchServiceInstance on this server after completing upgrade. Please start it manually.

Short googling after, I ran following command, which finished succesfully

stsadm -o osearch -action start

And now I wonder - do I need to restart PSconfig, should I wait for it to continue, or something else?

PS. If it wasn't clear from answer below - yes, you need to restart. It will not continue by itself.

Answer 1

If you get an error message in PSConfig because of a service is offline, you need to start PSConfig again and make sure you have a successful run. Also verify that you have the target build version in Manage servers in this farm (http://CA-url:port/_admin/FarmServers.aspx) and Check product and patch installation status (http://CA-url:port/_admin/PatchStatus.aspx).

You need to have a successful run, and all runs can be found in Check upgrade status (http://CA-url:port/_admin/UpgradeStatus.aspx)
