This topic describes the procedure for upgrading to Transparent cloud
tiering 1.1.2 from Transparent cloud
tiering 1.1.0 or 1.1.1.
Ensure the following before you start the upgrade the process:
- Transparent cloud
tiering service is stopped on all the
server nodes by using the mmcloudgateway service stop command.
- IBM Spectrum Scale™ is at release 4.2.2. Migration
might fail if your IBM Spectrum
Scale release is
different.
- No data migration or recall is in progress.
Perform the following steps:
- Copy the gpfs.tct.server-1.1.2.x86_64.rpm file to each of the nodes that
is specified as Transparent cloud
tiering server nodes.
- Run this command:
rpm -Uvh gpfs.tct.server-1.1.2.x86_64.rpm
Note: Transparent cloud
tiering statistics on the IBM Spectrum
Scale GUI is enabled only when the
ENABLE_MCSTORE parameter in the
/usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/conf/gpfsgui.properties is set to "true". During upgrade from
IBM Spectrum
Scale 4.2.1.1 to 4.2.2, this parameter is
reset to "false", even though its original value is "true", and the Transparent cloud
tiering statistics does not show up on the
IBM Spectrum
Scale GUI. Therefore, it is recommended to
manually set the value of the property to "true" after an upgrade. To activate this change, you must
restart the gpfsgui.service.
All other configurations will be intact
after the upgrade, and you can continue to perform data migration seamlessly as before.
- To upgrade the client packages, issue the following command:
rpm -Uvh gpfs.tct.client-1.1.2.1.rpm
- To upgrade the Debian package, issue the following command:
sudo dpkg -i gpfs.tct.client*.deb
- To verify the version after upgrade, issue the following command:
mmcloudgateway service version
