<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><div class="gmail_default">OSGeo Admins,</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">I'd like to do several changes to your Ganeti cluster eventually to bring it up to a better supported platform and version of Ganeti as well. Unfortunately this is going to cause some downtime for each node but I'm pretty sure I can do it without losing data or downtime to certain VMs. Both of your nodes are currently running Gentoo which we haven't been maintaining other than for very important security issues that come up. Also, the version of Ganeti is currently 2.6.2 and the latest stable version is 2.15.2 which includes several improvements.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">The summary of items I'd like to do are:</div><div class="gmail_default"><ol><li>Install CentOS 7 as the OS for all of the nodes<br></li><li>Switch to managing said nodes to Chef instead of Cfengine<br></li><li>Upgrade Ganeti from 2.6.2 to 2.15.2 (or whatever is stable at the point we get to this)</li></ol></div><div class="gmail_default">This is going to need to be a multi-stage process unfortunately, but I'm hoping I only have to do one down time per node. I've tested this process in a Vagrant environment and it seems to work.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Here's the actual steps I plan to do:</div><div class="gmail_default"><ol><li>Take osgeo3 down and reinstall it's OS with CentOS 7 and retain it's LVM data for VMs<br></li><li>Install Ganeti 2.6.2 on osgeo3 using Chef so that the version stays the same throughout the whole cluster<br></li><li>Readd osgeo3 back into the cluster using its previous configuration and start all the VMs back up</li><li>Repeat the process of steps 1 through 3 with osgeo4</li><li>Upgrade Ganeti to 2.11.8 on all the nodes (I've found this to be safer than jumping from 2.6.2 directly to 2.15 as they made some major changes to the backend in those versions)</li><li>Finally upgrade Ganeti to 2.15.2 or whatever is latest stable at the time.</li></ol></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">So my questions to you are:</div><div class="gmail_default"><ol><li><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Should any of the instances below be migrated to another node during it's primary node downtime? If so and they're currently set to plain, we can convert them to DRBD, it will just take a short downtime (depending on how large the disk is) and move them over.</font></li><li><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">When could we start doing this? I was hoping to start within the next month or so but it can certainly be adjusted.</font></li><li><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">How should we communicate in real-time if we need to? Via #osuosl on IRC? Other means?</font></li></ol></div></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">
