Re: Proper upgrade procedure using Redhat repo and yum

[Patrick Landry <patrick.landry@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm, no advice here? I would have presumed someone here is running

with packages from the RHEL repository. I'll open a ticket with Redhat but

it would be reassuring to hear from someone who has real-world experience.

Subject: [389-users] Proper upgrade procedure using Redhat repo and yum

I have two servers running with multi master replication. The servers are

running RHEL 7.4 with 389-ds installed via yum using the rhel-7-server-rpms

repository. The hosts are behind a load balancer and all client access is through

the load balancer.

I would like to upgrade to the latest release available in rhel-7-server-rpms. I

have the following packages installed related to 389ds:

389-admin-1.1.46-1.el7.x86_64
389-admin-console-1.1.12-1.el7.noarch
389-admin-console-doc-1.1.12-1.el7.noarch
389-adminutil-1.1.21-2.el7.x86_64
389-console-1.1.18-1.el7.noarch
389-ds-1.2.2-6.el7.noarch
389-ds-base-1.3.7.5-21.el7_5.x86_64
389-ds-base-libs-1.3.7.5-21.el7_5.x86_64
389-ds-console-1.2.16-1.el7.noarch
389-ds-console-doc-1.2.16-1.el7.noarch
389-dsgw-1.1.11-5.el7.x86_64

Only two of those packages appear to have updates available; 389-ds-base and 389-ds-base-libs.

Is this the correct procedure?

1. remove server1 from the load balancer config to halt client requests
   
2. stop the dirsrv and dirsrv-admin services on server1
   
3. run "yum upgrade 389-ds-base 389-ds-base-libs" on server1
   
4. run "setup-ds-admin.pl -u" on server1
   
5. restart dirsrv and dirsrv-admin on server1
   
6. verify replication is still working
   
7. add server1 back to load balancer config
   
8. repeat steps 1-7 on server2
   

I presume that replication will continue to work after upgrading server1 but before

upgrading server2. I believe that at step 4, I don't *also* have to run "setup-ds.pl".

Is that correct?

Thanks.
