We have several hyperscale x clusters, has someone done the os migration from RHEL to Rocky?

What is your experiences with this?

That should say Hyperscale OS* - I’ll get it fixed :)

 

The upgrades have been going smoothly from where I sit. We have a considerations & walkthrough upgrade video that we should be posting next week.


I had issues with it partly because documentation wasn’t clear and partly because we had borrowed index cache to increase /ws/ddb sizes which messed with the extended attributes. I have our lab upgraded but haven’t tried in production yet. We also have a new cluster running Rocky with no issues so far.


@Chris Colhard what was missing from documentation?


I assumed you put in maintenance mode first like all other procedures but you do not. It said you could run in ssh using tmux but you cannot, you must use ILO/IPMI.


Hi all,

In the documentation, it stated that “Copy the latest HyperScale X image from Commvault store to the /ws/ddb/iso folder on the Hyperscale X remote software cache node.” Do you guys have the iso directory on the cache node? I didn’t have it, do I need to created iso directory? 


Yes create the iso directory then copy the iso over to it.
