Here's my plan for upgrading both OS and OpenAFS on my primary AFS server. Please let me know if you see any potential problems, gotchas, etc.
These items I have already done: 1. Set up a second VLDB and file server. Change all the CellServDB files to include both servers. (Authentication is via Krb5; neither AFS server is a KDC) 2. Move all non-replicated volumes to the second server. Have replicas of the others on both servers. Here is what I plan to do: 3. Shut down the primary server. I can do this during regular hours because the secondary server will carry all the load. 4. Install the new OS (RHEL 4) on a new partition. Install OpenAFS 1.4.0 but don't start it. 5. Copy /usr/afs/db, /usr/afs/etc/, and /usr/afs/local from the old system partition to the new one. Mount /vicepa same as on the old system. 6. Start up AFS and all should be well - or am I missing something? thanks, Steve Gaarder System Administrator, Dept of Mathematics Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
