QRadar: Migration from GlusterFS to Distibuted Replication Block Device on Event Collector terminates due to stale PID file

Troubleshooting


Problem

The QRadar® upgrade to version 7.4.2 requires you to run a migration script on the console. This script migrates the High Availability file system from GlusterFS to Distributed Replication Block Device on all Event Collectors in your deployment:
 
/opt/qradar/ha/bin/glusterfs_migration_manager-<script_version>.bin
In some scenarios, the script terminates because the /var/run/glusterfs_migration.pid file exists (from a previous execution of the script) and it no longer points to a valid path on the /proc file-system because the older PID is not valid.

Symptom

The glusterfs_migration_manager script displays an error:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/proc/82258/cmdline'
Failed to execute script glusterfs_migration_manager
NOTE: More information about the /proc file-system can be found here.
