HPVM cluster upgrade

[Tonny Sejr Kromann]

Hi

I'm about to upgrade our HPVM cluster hosts.

I have run a patch assessment and created a depot.

I have moved all vm to one HPVM node.

I have run cmhaltnode on the one to be first upgraded.

When I start the swinstall, the analysis says:

ERROR:   Guests are running, all guests must be shut down.

Do I need to do more local shutdown of the guests?

hpvmstatus and cmviewcl, see below.

TIA

Am I missing something obvious or can I provide more information?

Maybe I have to disable cluster and hpvm on the node and restart?

Best regards

Bonjour,

You said that on the node you want to upgrade all VM are down and that the node itself is no more participating in the cluster. I guess you just miss stopping hpvm stack : /sbin/init.d/hpvm stop

To prevent automatic startup of hpvm and mcsg during the update phase I would modify /etc/rc.config.d/hpvmconf ( HPVM_ENABLE=0 ) and /etc/rc.config.d/cmcluster ( AUTOSTART_CMCLD=0 )
