Upgrading S3 packages
Use these steps on each protocol node one by one to upgrade IBM Storage Scale S3 packages.
Attention:
If one or more CES nodes cannot be upgraded, then issue the command mmces node suspend -N Node[,Node...] --stop to suspend the nodes and stop all the protocol services that are running on these nodes. This suspension ensures that the S3 service does not automatically start when the nodes are available again.
- All protocol nodes must also be upgraded to the newer code level along with base GPFS.
- S3 users must run I/O workloads with an increased value for the variables AWS_MAX_ATTEMPTS and AWS_MAX_RETRY to sustain the high availability. Because CES IP movement might take time based on the active I/O from multiple protocols, if enabled in the cluster. Refer AWS CLI documentation for how to set these.
Back up S3 protocol configuration before an offline or online upgrade. For more information, see Manual backup of the S3 configuration data.
Complete the following steps on all nodes:
