[OpenAFS] "Upgrading" an OpenAFS server from opensuse leap 42.3 to opensuse leap 15.1
Hi, I just got my OpenAFS server working again after upgrading the system from OpenSuSE Leap 42.3 to Leap 15.1. I ran into one puzzling problem doing that upgrade. The system upgrade finished after whining about a couple things, but the OpenAFS server (version 1.8.2) didn't know about any of the volumes or PTS information. I finally figured out that the server local files (including the databases) had moved from /var/lib/openafs (on version 1.6) to /var/openafs.

The main obstacle is usually just the running database servers, including both VL server and PT server (and also potentially a few others if in use at your site, for the buserver, updateserver, etc.) AFAIK root.cell does not need to be hosted on a fileserver colocated with a dbserver (but is just conventionally done so during normal operation for maximum resiliency). A key question is whether the dbservers will be getting new IP addresses as part of this upgrade -- that requires a somewhat more complicated procedure, whereas if the same IP addresses are used it's pretty straightforward to just cycle machines in/out of active service. Other factors that come into play is whether all clients are known and/or under the control of central administrators, so that whether they are using AFSDB or SRV records or a static CellServDB to locate dbservers can be known. > Has anyone done this recently?

[OpenAFS] Upgrading to newer OpenAFS procedure docs
We are in the process of updating from an older version of OpenAFS, 1.4.14, to a more recent version, 1.6.16. The new 1.6.16 servers have been added to our current cell and we are moving the volumes from the older servers to the new ones. We know that we have to move the various servers, including the VL Server, and root.cell volume from the old servers to the new ones before being able to shut off the old servers. I'm trying to find documentation that describes how to do that. Has anyone done this recently? Is there any documentation that describes the proper sequence? TIA!

Bill replied for the case where you're talking about an AFS file server, but I think you may be talking about an AFS client, so I'll answer that part. When you dist-upgrade the system, the OpenAFS client will continue running with the existing kernel module. All you have to do is arrange to have the kernel module for the new kernel installed before you reboot the system. By far the easiest (and the now-recommended) way to do this is to install openafs-modules-dkms and the linux-headers package for the new kernel (linux-headers-486 if you're just using the tracking kernel package). Just do that before the first upgrade and DKMS will build new kernel modules for you. -- Russ Allbery (r...@stanford.edu) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/ ___ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info

[OpenAFS] Upgrading/Migrating to new OpenAFS and host OS versions
I have a server running OpenAFS 1.2.13 on Red Hat Enterprise 3, using Kerberos 5 for athentication (the AFS server is not one of the KDCs). I want to upgrade to OpenAFS 1.4.0 and RH Enterprise 4. It seems to me that the sanest approach may well be to do a fresh install of the OS (on another partition), install 1.4.0 on it, and then copy all the necessary site-specific stuff over to the new OS. Questions: - is this indeed the best way to go? - what files/directories do I need to copy to the new installation? - any gotchas I should know about? 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

As far as Windows is concerned I think 1.3.7300 is one of the most stable so far. A few glitches have been found since then, but it's got so many fixes since 1.2.11 that I can't even begin to enumerate them. We are still running our Solaris servers on 1.2.11 without issues even though an important bug has recently been identified. We hope to upgrade soon.

Re: [OpenAFS] Upgrading Transarc servers
Depends on the architectures your fileservers are running on. For Linux and NT Transarc had implemented the NAMEI-interface where you don't need a special fsck. Here everything should be ok. On the other architectures I suggest to use also the NAMEI-interface for some reasons: 1) You get rid of the special fsck (may be a problem with software RAIDs etc) 2) salvage of single volumes is much faster because all files of a volume group are under the same directory 3) you can dump or tar and restore partitions and you can see the files. If you switch between the traditional mechanism and NAMEI you have to move the volumes by vos move because the NAMEI-fileserver does not understand the traditional partition and vice versa. If you keep using the traditional mechanism you schould be able to just start the new binaries with the old partitions. -Hartmut Kevin Coffman wrote: I think this is the case, but wanted to verify.
