[gpfsug-discuss] upgrading to spectrum scale 4.1 from gpfs 3.5.0-21

[Simon Thompson (Research Computing - IT Services)]

That looks pretty much like the right process.

Check that all the components upgraded ... rpm -qa | grep gpfs

You may need to do an rpm -e on the gpfs.gplbin package and then install the newly built one

Are you doing make rpm to build the rpm version of gpfs.gplbin and installing that?

Subject: [gpfsug-discuss] upgrading to spectrum scale 4.1 from gpfs 3.5.0-21

What is the correct procedure to upgrade from 3.5 to 4.1?

What I have tried is uninstalling existing 3.5 version (rpm -e) and installing 4.1.0.0 using rpm -hiv *.rpm. After the install I've compiled kernel extensions:
cd /usr/lpp/mmfs/src && make Autoconfig && make World && make InstallImages

Rebooted the node and have been getting:
daemon and kernel extension do not match.

I've tried rebuilding extensions again and still could not get it to work. I've uninstalled 4.1 packages and reinstalled 3.5 and I am not getting daemon and kernel extension do not match error with 3.5 version on a single node. So, couple of questions:
What is the correct way of upgrading from 3.5 to 4.1.0.0?


Thanks,
Damir
