Upgrading Quattor managed glite servers

Upgrading to a new glite release

The following notes were taken during the upgrade from glite-3.1-update-29 to glite-3.1-update-31.

As ndpfmgr@stal

1. Run the skript ~/bin/mirror-glite-3.1

This creates a Quattor template file in /tmp which can be used to create a cern-mirror of the latest glite in /project/quattor/www/html/mirror/glite (fetch release from: http://glitesoft.cern.ch/EGEE/gLite/).

As normal-user@stal

Assuming you have a working Quattor environment, in particular $L points to a usable Quattor checkout. First argument of rpmUpdates.pl script is the directory of the mirror created as ndpfmgr before.

1. ~ronalds/src/nl.nikhef.ndpf.quattor-config/bin/rpmUpdates.pl /project/quattor/www/html/mirror/glite/3.1/generic/sl4/x86_64/updates/ > /tmp/31-i386
2. ~ronalds/src/nl.nikhef.ndpf.quattor-config/bin/rpmUpdates.pl /project/quattor/www/html/mirror/glite/3.1/generic/sl4/x86_64/updates/ > /tmp/31-x86-64
3. cd $L/cfg
4. cp /tmp/glite-3.1-update-31.tpl ./
5. cd $L/cfg/grid/glite-3.1/update/
6. cp -a 29 31
7. find $L/cfg/grid/glite-3.1/update/31 -type d -name CVS -exec rm -rf {} \; (delete the CVS files, this command will change when moving to subversion)
8. for file in `grep -H -r "/29/" 31/* |awk -F : '{print $1}'`; do sed -i "s/\/29\//\/31\//g" $file; done (replace the old update nr with the new one).
9. replace the entries in $L/cfg/grid/glite-3.1/update/31/{i386,x86_64}/rpms.tpl with entries in glite-3.1-update-31.tpl, take care to uncomment torque packages and that the manualy added packages are appended.
10. rm $L/cfgglite-3.1-update-31.tpl (file copied above, will not pass quattor syntax checks.)
11. makexprof -u -f itb tbn09 (try to compile it for some testbed node)
12. if OK, submit the changes to CVS

Again as ndpfmgr@stal

Get the updates commited as normal user above, confirm they compile, push profile to a testbed node, here are the steps:

1. cd $/cfg
2. cvs upd -APd
3. makexprof -u -f itb tbn09
4. pushxprof -u -f itb tbn09
