[gpfsug-discuss] 4.2 installer

[Matt Weil]

We have multiple clusters with thousands of nsd's surely there is an
upgrade path.  Are you all saying just continue to manually update nsd
servers and manage them as we did previously.  Is the installer not
needed if there are current setups.  Just deploy CES manually?

Be careful tho – do some test runs to verify what it will really do. I’ve found the installer doing a good job in upgrading my CES nodes, but I’ve opted to manually upgrade my NSD server nodes.
