I should make a stronger statement. You should not stop xcatd or the database. As you can see from your upgrade below the upgrade made database updates. Added tables and attributes. If you database was not running, it would fail and the database would not be configured for the new release level.
Also the proper update command is yum update '*xCAT'. Your yum update xcat will not pick up the perl-xCAT rpm correctly. This is all in the Idataplex Quick start which you should follow. Please verify you have the correct rpms installed. You might want to run yum update '*xCAT" again. Lissa K.

Just don't be running any xcat commands. The upgrade will stop and start xcatd as needed. Lissa K.

Would the MySQL database have to be off as well? I thought the daemon might automatically restart after the upgrade, but you are right that I should have turned it off first. At this point things still work, but I am most confused about lsxcatd still returning 2.7.3 to me. Maybe it is getting that as a string from a database table that hasn't been updated yet instead of directly from the xcatd binary? I have some of the new commands like "nodediscoverls" and "nodediscoverstart" which weren't there before so I'm pretty sure everything was upgraded. I did a "yum update xcat" and for good measure "yum install xCAT-nbkernel-x86_64 xCAT-genesis-x86_64 xCAT-client xCAT-nbroot-core-x86_64 xCAT-server xCAT-nbroot-oss-x86_64". As long as nothing is operating incorrectly though I guess I can just presume everything is at the latest version. -Josh On Tue, Jan 14, 2014 at 12:12 PM, Russell Jones <[email protected]> wrote: Did you remember to stop the xcatd service before doing the upgrade?

I was upgrading from xCAT 2.7.3 to 2.8.3, I grabbed the latest core and dep tarballs, and made local yum repos, and installed all the newer packages from them. Then to check if the daemon had been upgraded I did an 'lsxcatd -v' and it still said 2.7.3. So I decided to run the xcat daemon manually from the command line with the verbose flag but wasn't expecting to see the schema updates (honestly all I saw were SQL commands scrolling in the screen - I didn't know they were for the schema at the time) and I panicked and hit CRTL+C. This halted the daemon & updates but the next time I tried to run it I got an error although the daemon ran in the background.

Despite this I can still use 'service xcatd restart' and start the daemon, and I can run psh commands and tabdump etcetera, but now I'm unsure whether the xCAT MySQL database is in an inconsistent state and has not received all the schema updates it was supposed to. I was hoping that by running xcatd -v again I would see it try again but I haven't. And even after all that I still see 2.7.3 when I type 'lsxcatd'. Maybe I need to restart the node. Any clue if there is a way to rerun the schema changes?
