Isilon InsightIQ code upgrade from 3.0 to 3.2

Direct Upgrade from 3.0 to 3.2 is not supported. code needs to be upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1 and from 3.1 to 3.2

Upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1

Install the dependencies

1) Unzip the file

tar xvfz iiq_3.1_upgrade_dependencies.tar.gz

2) Install the offline depencies

./install_dependencies

3) Run the upgrade skipping the process off connecting to centos as depencies are already installed

sudo yum upgrade --noplugins --disablerepo= */home/administrator/isilon-insightiq-3.1.0.0078-1.x86_64.rpm

Upgrade from 3.1 to 3.2

Upgrading from 3.1 to 3.2 EMC provided code in .sh format,(previous codes are in .rpm format)

One of the issue we experienced using winscp to copy the file to InsightIQ VM is, md5sum values are getting

modified while on the copy process, which causing the upgrade to fail throwing the errors like invalid checksum

To copy the file, use either ftp or copy the file to Isilon cluster and then to InsightIQ using scp protocol

1) Run upgrade sudo sh install-insightiq-3.2.1.0001.sh

2) Run datastore upgrade iiq_datastore_upgrade

Isilon : Rolling upgrade failure

While doing code upgrade, there are cases where network interruption cause the loss on connection to the Cluster.  If we are in middle of the code upgrade, there is no way reconnecting to the cluster take us to the step where the upgrade left.

In these cases, user needs verify the list of nodes upgraded completely, kill the upgrade process, and restart the upgrade, which skip the upgrade for nodes that completed and proceeds with nodes on previous versions.

Below are the troubleshooting commands could help during this scenarios.

isi update --rolling --manual    -  Initiates rolling upgrade, manual option ask the user for confirmation before rebooting every node

isi update --check-only  Pre upgrade health check

cd /var/log  

ls -l update*
